Vista Ultimate 'DreamScene' -- no go on X64?

[John Fuchs-Chesney]

Hi,

I have Ultimate installed on my X64 system. As part of Windows update I've
seen Ultimate extras download (Texas Hold'em; DreamScene).

I cannot access DreamScene, and when I've tried downloading DeskScape
Animated Wallpapers that seem to rely on the DreamScene technology nothing
works.

Is this a known issue with X64 systems? If not, can anyone give me
directions as to how to invoke and set up animated wallpapers and/or
DreamScenes?

Many thanks! ~ jfc.

Right click on a blank space on your desktop, select personalise, click on
change desktop Background. On the location dropdown select Windows
DreamScene Content, then select the one you want. I am on Vista64 Ultimate
and like the Waterfall.

Thanks for your reply John.
I can see the DreamScene dropdown listed -- but clicking on it has no
effect.

Is there a way to reload the Dreamscene software from Windows Update?

Thanks! ~ jfc.

Do you have any dreams installed?

I had the same problem on x64.
The first download must have been the update to enable dreamscene.
Right clicking on the desktop showed a dreamscene preview option but it was
greyed out and inaccessible.
Then when manually checking for windows updates I got an optional download
of dreamscene content.
Now clicking on desktop and then personalise and desktop brings up a
dialogue box with lots of options to populate the desktop (wallpaper,
dreamscene, sample pictures, pictures, videos, solid colours, etc)
Selecting dreamscene here gives several videos to use as your desktop.
