Deskscapes on 3 monitors

from Stardock Forums

I have Vista Ultimate x64 which as Ultimate as it may be, doesn't do video backgrounds across multi gpus. So I have the demo for Deskscapes and it works better then what Windows give you. However my 3rd screen just shows the first frame of the video background and isn't animating. Am I missing something other then the "enable support for multi GPU option" in settings? If it works I'll get the real deal, I just would like to see it in action.

Unfortunately DeskScapes is limited to 2 screens being animated.

This is actually no longer true.

Assuming Deskscapes has been set to support additional gpus it should handle them.  This should be the same in the trial and the full version.

If that is not working correctly on your hardware then try setting a different dream on the additional monitor and see if that works.

I did try that. Attempting to set a different background didn't work. It seems to flash and skip the animations for a second, as if it thinks its appying, but the 3rd screen stays black. If it helps (as windows sees them) screen 3 and 4 are on one video card and screen 1 is on one by itself. And it is screen 4 that is being uncoperitive. Also the file I am using is a .WMV background that was made for Vistas Dreamscene originally.
