Changing wallpapers problem

from Stardock Forums

Ok when i had the free version of deskscapes installed in vista i could change wallpapers in the control panel by hitting change wallpaper. ok i purchased the full version and uninstalled the free version then installed the purchased version but now the dreamscapes option isnt there. ive found out i can double click on them in the documents/stardock/dreams folder which works fine but some of the dreams ive downloaded dont fit my screen and they only show up as the resolution they were made in. can someone tell me a way to get them back as a option through my control panel desktop changeing option so i can stretch them to fit my screen and whatever other options the program offers thanx.

1. You should have a "Dream Changer" open when you click on Deskscapes. It gives you 4 choices 1) About Deskscapes 2) Choose an Animated Desktop 3) Add/Remove 4) Get more.

2. It doesn't work (as far as I know) thru the Control Panel.

When you click on Deskscapes, do you get the Dialog box?

i fixed it i just uninstalled it and reinstalled it. but yeah in vista you can go to the control panel and click change desktop background and the window there witht he wallpapers that comes with windows deskscapes is in the pulldown thing there. im guessing its the same window u get when you do it the way your talking about. thanx though for the help.

Didn't do anything....but glad you got it fixed up!  :sun:

What I was talking about was the dialog box ... putting a screenshot up to save words...(1,000 of 'em :grin: ).

This is the dialog box to change, etc. Dreams. For Wallpapers I just use my Opus9...most powerful file utility around (lower screen shot)

yeah i get that first screenshot when i click on deskscapes from the start menu, but once i click "choose an animated desktop" it brings up the same window as doing it from the control panel in my screenshot.

DeskScapes should show up in the dropdown for changing wallpapers like in SoulTrain75's screenie.  If you don't see this, probably best to uninstall/reinstall (or verify through Impulse)
