[quote who="Jafo" reply="10" id="2964046"] Quoting russ1488, reply 9Could it be unstable codecs that I may have on my machine? Quite possibly, yes. Not every codec is the same in compatibility/performance/etc.... and I imagine it's specifically an issue when you're using the same or related codec in your work as is wanting to be used for the dream.....like trying to listen to the radio with one ear while someone is talking into the other......the message gets gar

[quote who="Jafo" reply="8" id="2964022"]Again, it is not a fault of Deskscapes. It's at best a poor choice of Dream to be running while you are doing system-intensive work. The choice of the Dream is neither Deskscape's nor Stardock's ... The fault is with which-ever skinner's choice of codec/format which clearly conflicts with your work.[/quote] I know it's not Deskscapes, it's the specific dream I may be running and I understand t

[quote who="Lantec" reply="6" id="2964000"] Quoting russ1488, reply 2 Probably the coding... Yes, it's the encoding/codecs used and that's something that Stardock likely WILL NOT change since the dreams are user provided. If they limited the program to one specific codec I imagine there would hundreds to thousands more threads complaining about that. It's odd that you would experience lockups just from clock changes. My 4870s never seem to have any issues with it.[

I know it's the dreams. Certain dreams down clock the GPU which they shouldn't. Probably the coding... As far as my system not being to handle the dreams?? NO, Asrock P55 extreme 4 mobo, 875k, 8gb Crucial Ballistix 12800, 2 x 2gb 6950's running crossfirex and a corsair ax1200 80 plus gold to power the sytem. No I don't think it's the sytem nor hardware. I've systematically checked hardware and landed on the software of Deskscapes. &

First I'd like to say I love Deskscapes but you guys have to fix it so it doesn't downclock the GPU... It does so there's no reason arguing about it. When I enable certain Dreams my GPU clocks drop from 950mhz (core) 1330mhz (memory) to 400mhz (core) 900mhz (memory) respectably. While this isn't a big issue for me, it's rather an annoyance and I lose the current work I'm working on. What I'm saying is that, I'll be encoding movies to 1080p (using CPU and GPU),
