Reply to Can someone help me get my windowblind files moved from one hard drive to another? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

You should be able to copy them from one drive to the other without too much trouble. You may have some trouble from the encrypted ones though. Install windows blinds on the new drive and then copy your blinds directory from the old drive to the new. Start windowblinds and then click on skin options and then rebuild list. If you moved them correctly, they should show up. You will need to reinstall the encrypted ones if they look corrupt.

Reply to Deskscape v2 internal player randomly stops, wont resume in DeskScapes WinCustomize Forums

The internal player is the stock Microsoft Vista media player that come with Vista Ultimate. DeskScapes will use Stardocks if you uncheck that box. The only differance I see is using Stardocks gives you a better choice of positioning than the internal player. I run Stardocks and have had no problems with lock ups.

[quote] Does DeskScapes only run Dreams animated wallpapers?[/quote] Yes but I know you can run MPEG and WMV files also if you have Vista Ultimate and DreamScene installed. I'm not sure if this applies in your case. [quote] If "outside" animated wallpapers can be used, how?[/quote] Depending what file format they are, see the above answer.

Reply to What do I need to run my Desktop Earth Dream??? in DeskScapes WinCustomize Forums

It took me a few minutes to find the thread where I originally posted this. If you have had the preview installed and then installed Deskscapes or have updated from 1 version of DeskScapes to another, try this and see if it will fix your problem. Uninstall deskscapes. After uninstalling deskscapes, manually delete the "C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Deskscapes" directory and the "C:\Program Files\stardock\object desktop\deskscapes" directory if the uninstall process
