Sorry this will be a long post. TLDR, set DS to use "Pause When A Window Is Maximized" in the Advanced tab of the settings when using it in conjunction with programs not in full screen mode, particularly music production software. Hi, I just wanted to post an experience I have been having with DeskScapes 11 causing a crash when running in the background and using a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation, for music production) and certain plugins/VST's. I hope by makin

Thanks very much Neil this fixed it for me, I didn't realize I didn't have any DirectX Runtime files installed and needed to get them. I absolutely love your Stars dream and use it in combination with the Rainbow effect in Deskcapes and really enjoy the colourful stars slowly moving towards me, it's very relaxing.

It seems to be particularly this Stars dream by Neil Banfield. I have tried some of his other dreams such as Blurry Blobs and Ovals and they work fine.

I am having the same problem as OP and have tried using the K-Lite Codec pack and it still won't work. I am trying to use the Stars by Neil Banfield dream and keep getting the message that I don't have the mpeg2 codec installed even though I do. I am on Windows 10 and have downloaded it from the Microsoft Store and even tried the K-Lite Codec pack and it still doesn't work.
