DreamScene disabled? How do you enable it?

[Guest]

When I select the provided DreamScene in "Choose a desktop background",
nothing happens. No error message...no background change.

I also see that when I right click on my desktop, there is a "Play
DreamScene (Preview)" option that is greyed out.

Hi!

If "Play DreamScene (Preview)" option is greyed out,
it means the mpg file is not selected correctly.

This one is included with DreamScene:

C:\Windows\Web\Windows DreamScene\vid1337.mpg

Have a nice day!

Right clicking on that file and picking "Set as Desktop Background" doesn't
do anything either. I can play it fine with WMP...just can't set it as my
background.

I've fixed my problem by uninstalling K-Lite Mega Codec pack. Would be nice
if I had an error message or something to work with...
