Latest deskscapes always crashing beta nvidia notebook 258.69 video driver

from Stardock Forums

I updated Deskscapes to 3.2 and my nvidia notebook driver to 258.69 (beta) on the same day.It seemed to be fine initially but later on every time i tried to apply a dream the laptop crashed with a stop error when using sli or a video driver recovered error if using a single card.

The problem is because i updated both deskscapes and the driver at the same time i don't know which one caused this issue.

I will try using a different graphics driver but would be grateful if stardock could look into this as if a bug exists in the beta driver it might be carried foward into certified drivers if not addressed.

I am running deskscapes 3.2 on vista 64 SP2 with aforementioned Beta nvidia notebook driver 258.69 and 2 x 9800mgts in SLI or a 9400m in non-sli.

Does this occur with both video dreams and dynamic dreams? I haven't had a problem with Deskscapes 3.2 and my NVIDIA drivers. We'll certainly take note and keep a look out for others having this problem. For the time being, try reverting to the drivers that last worked correctly.

Thanks for reply Dewie.

Uninstalling the beta driver and using nvidia 257.21 notebook driver seems to have fixed the problem.

So its not an issue with deskscapes 3.2 but with nvidias latest beta notebook driver-hope they or yourselves iron it out....

Most likely something they'll fix before final release.
