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.
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
