Stardock's Desktop earth is part of the download when you purchase DeskScapes. There are serveral earth based dreams that can also be found here:

Please let me know if this answers your question for you.

No need to purchase DeskScapes when you have Vista Ultimate.

You only need version 1.02 which can be downloaded here:

(sorry for the unclickable link, browser issue)

You still need DeskScapes to run Stardock Dream files but if you have all of the optional updates from Microsoft downloaded then you can run DeskScapes with no trouble in Ultimate. From there you will had the DesktopEarth dream and can download several more dreams from Wincustomize.com. Please know that with out a purchase there is a download limit from Wincustomize.

Let me know if you have further troubles.

Nope, that program (already installed, but I redownloaded it and reinstalled it, no difference) only gives me these dreams:

• Bouncing Box Sample
• Copper Pool
• Exotic Plasma

Question still stands: Where can I download/purchase Desktop Earth separate, without purchasing the full DeskScape application (that I don't need)?

Yes, I know that .dream-files require DeskScapes to run and I've had 1.02 installed all along.

When I follow that URL it says "There are no skins to display.", tried it in both Firefox and IE, no difference.

As I said, I've searched through all of Wincustomize and cannot find it anywhere. Searching for "Desktop Earth" gives me no hits, and the search results for "Earth" doesn't include Desktop Earth, and neither does the listing of dreams made by Stardock Design* (that I presume made the dream).

I've checked my Wincustomize profile for any active filters, but there are none. Do I need to have purchased the DeskScapes application to have that dream show up on Wincustomize, or what's going on?

BagronkeN: It looks like it was removed from the site and Seabass can still see it because he has higher level rights on the site.  I will find out what is going on.

fumanchu2001: Have you installed the latest DirectX9 runtimes on your PC?

My mistake. I will inquire on this to the design team.

Neil: Yes I do, however running dxdiag shows that dx 10 is running if that is of any use?

And I meant; sfc /scannow

I don't think it's a stardock/deskscapes problem, rather something to do with my machine...

Tried all of the advise from tech support and even a clean/fresh isntall with no luck, as I say the difference from when it worked to the current situation is;

Intergrated graphics with my 780g mobo (3200 HD) using Vista Ultimate x64, the other thing is that the internal player will not run any dreams, only the stardock one works, I have tried to install other codecs with no result and have cleaned them from the system too.

I have tried 1.02 and 2.056, as I say 1.02 asks me to upgrade when using dynamic dreams, except that it does play bouncing box only, 2.056 does not run any dynamic dreams.

I have gotten as far as sending my dx logs to support as well as event information logs and running sfc /scannow plus the usual install/uninstall methods, after that I heard nothing back so decided to try a clean install, with no result.

Vista Ultimate x64 6.0 6001/AMD 64 X2 5000+/2 GB RAM/ATI Radeon HD 3200 (8.11 catalist)/DX 10/Panasonic PZ80 42" 1920x1080p

Hi, I found this thread on Google. I also want to purchase this dreamscene but I can't find it anywhere on the Internet. There is a cracked version floating around but I just want to buy this dreamscene from the publisher. What happened? Why is it removed?

Seabass, have your inquiry turn up anything?

Oh, ok. Thanks.
