I have it back now. I zipped it up and created a wba from my laptop since I had not updated it yet. :) Maybe it was just a fluke that it was deleted from my system when I updated.

[quote]FutureWorld[/quote] I believe he meant my "Future Earth" dream. That dream is fairly large so it will take a little time for it to load. Now if it locks up that's another thing. The only reason I could think that it would lock up is a mgep2 codec conflict. Since you have Ultimate installed it should run fine with the codec it came with. Have you installed any programs that installed a MPEG2 codec, perhaps a DVD player program or Nero?

Have you tried booting to your Vista DVD and repairing your install?

Reply to WB on Vista is borked in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Try booting into safe mode and restore it to a time that it ran OK. Then roll back your Video drivers to the ones in December and install DirectX 9. I also had trouble installing WB from Impulse. My problem was WB want's a reboot every time Windows loads. It will not run at all. I uninstalled in SDC & reintalled from SDC and it works fine. Not sure that this tidbit of info helps you but knowing it couldn't hurt.

Also, Turn off UAC. At least until you get everything installed. Then you can turn it on, run Tweak Vista and change the promt elivation. Personaly, I hate UAC so I turn it off and leave it that way. Good concept...sucks in it's current state.

I suggest NVIDIA's version 169 drivers from December 2007. Their newer drivers are borked on 3 systems of mine, all with 8800GTS cards. Please give Vista another shot, for your loyal fan base. Also, download & install DirectX 9...Vista does not come with it installed.

PO...I would have to go with # 4 also. That's a good deal. Personally, I've had good luck with Tiger Direct but try to stay away from rebates with them. They will try thier best not to fulfill them everytime. As for hard drives, you can always add an external drive like the My Book drives from Western Digital after you fill up the 500 gig that the system comes with. I bought a 1 terabyte drive last week for less than $200.00. Also, save the old PC and give it to the kids after you r

Once I updated through Impulse and re-booted, WindowBlinds popped up and said I needed to re-boot when it loaded. After the third re-boot, I decided to try SDC. The only way for me to fix this was to open SDC, uninstall WB and reinstall thro

The second dream is posted and in the gallery. :CONGRAT: RickJP...since you posted the LogonVista, why don't you post one of AV's original wall and one with the confetti added. I was going to but since you did the first one I would prefer you recieved the credit for posting all of them. You can use the preview picture from my dream for the confetti one if you would like. :)

You can capture the intro with a program called "fraps". The capture will be in avi format so you will have to convert it to mpeg or wmv. You can use Windows movie maker to convert to wmv for free or buy an encoder to convert to mpeg. As for permission, if your creating it for personal use you should be ok. If your going to upload it to WinCustomize, keep it to 15 seconds or less and it will fall under the fair use rule. Here's a post that will point you to more information for dre
