The old rig had the same GTX280. And yes, the CPU does run high when viewing the preview with the dreamscene on pause. It is only CPU core that is running high. Is there a way to make Deskscapes use all 4 cores? This might spread the load out, and help keep my temps down (I think??) The previous version I had was running on 32 bit Windows Vista Ultimate, it was the one that we got to use for free when Vista Ultimate first came out. Thanks again for your help guy

There is nothing wrong with the .Dream, I have used it for a few years, and it's perfect. The problem is with Deskscapes. The dream used to run beautifully on Vista, and 32bit windows 7. The Deskscapes program seems to have grown so much since it first came out (free for Vista Ultimate users) I think it needs to go o a diet! Forgot to mention that I am running two monitors (but I allways have been and its never been a problem before) Monitor 1 at 1680/1050, and monitor

Hi there, sorry to resurrect an old topic, but I have a bit of a slow down problem when running Deskscapes in Windows 7 64Bit. The .Dream (Green Cosmic Power - my fave) seems to be very juddery, and one of my CPU cores is pumping out at about 70-80% load. This didn't happen in Windows Vista 32 bit on a lesser specced system. Are there any hints or tips to sort this out please? System Specs: CPU: Intel Q9650 Quad OC'ed to 3.6Ghz (water cooled) RAM: 8Gb @1600Mhz<

I used to have a much slower AMD system on Windows Vista Ultimate. We got deskscapes free then... Those were the days :) My problem is that deskscapes used to run perfectly on the old system, but on my new monster gaming rig, Deskscapes
