DeskScape always freezes after exiting a game.

from Stardock Forums

Hi. I just bough deskscapes but my problem is that when ever i come out of a game my wallpaper will be frozen (like its paused). The only way to remedy it is to change my wallpaper to something else and then back again which is quite annoying. It also messes up 3dsmax, it makes the menu that comes up when you right click invisible. Except that the buttons show up when you move the cursor over them and then dissapear if you move off them, or stop moving the cursor.

I'm Running Vista Home Premium 64-bit latest service pack with aero on.

Solar Flare by Master Baron. It's irrelevant though because it does it with all the dreams. Even the default ones.

Is this really that rare? I just reformatted for various reasons and I'm still getting the same thing.

I experienced the same thing with the option "Use internal player" checked (using Vista Ultimate), from what I gathered from these forums this means Deskcapes is used to render the dream. This problem does not exist when using Windows DreamScene to display the dream.

Deskscapes freezes crashes my computer totaly, after a shorter or longer time, when playing Wolfenstein, so I have to hold the power button in on the computer for some seconds, to  restart the computer. After uninstalling Deskscapes the problem wanished all together. I think it was version 2.5 or 2.9 of Deskscapes I had installed. My OS: Windows 7 RC 32-bit.

No DeskScapes for Win 7 yet officially (the 2.9 BETA you may have been using adds support).
