Reply to How do i change default Storage location for stuff, such as Dreams? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

You can store them where ever you want. When I download a dream, I download it to the desktop and then move it to my external hard drive. I then open up the desktop folder, where you would assign your wallpaper, to assign the dream as wallpaper. The first time you will have to browse to the folder you have them stored in and after that it will become your default storage folder, as long as you have a dream running it will always open to that folder.

Reply to It's Feb. 2008: Where's Deskscape 2.0 in DeskScapes WinCustomize Forums

I hope the Wincustomize servers can hold up to the increased traffic as I feel certain the Dream downloads will increase dramatically once it is released. :NOTSURE: On the positive side, our download counts should rise along with it. ;)

Reply to What are you "working" on? in Community WinCustomize Forums

I am working on a new Dream....Sting Ray. It is along the same line as the Shark Dream I just released. Both of these should go real well with Z71's StingRay WindowBlind. :)

Reply to Day 3 of Windows in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

I've had real good luck with the complete system back up and restore that comes with Ultimate. You might want to give it a try once you get your system loaded back to the way you like it. The only drawback I see with it is you have to restore to the same size drive you created your backup of. If you wanted to create a back up of a small drive, remove it and upgrade to a larger drive it will not restore to it. No matter what, it could'nt hurt to have an extra back up other than the one you cr

Have you tried setting windowblinds to exclude the program? Open windowblinds, click on settings and then change the look of an app. Add the exe for MOHAA to list of programs you do not want to skin. There's a good chance this will fix it.

The image they are refering to is your preview image. It has to be 1024x768 or larger. Play your MPG or WMV in windows media player in full screen mode. While it is playing, hit the print screen key on your keyboard and it will save the image to your windows clipboard. Open up the paint program that came with windows. Click on the edit button and then click paste. You should then have a screenshot in paint of your mpg. Click on file, then click save as and name it preview.jpg and save it to

Reply to Dreamscene Not Working. in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

Older versions of Nero has been known to install codecs that interfer with Dreamscene. I would look at anything that you installed recently that would have installed it's own video codecs to be suspect. I suggest that once you get your system stable, you should create a complete system backup with the backup and restore center that comes with Vista Ultimate. Since I constantly add new software, it has saved me a few times when a program didn't play nice with Vista. Just uninstalling a incom

Reply to Need help to create dreamscene in New Users WinCustomize Forums

To get a screen shot of the dream, open you original mpg or wmv file in a media player in full screen mode and hit print screen on your keyboard. Paste that image into a photo editor like paint or paintshop pro and trim it down to just the image of the mpg. That image needs to be fairly large, say 1024x768 or larger and save it as a jpg named preview. You will use that image as your preview when you upload your dream. Once you save you preview image, resize it down to 256x256 and save it as a jp

Reply to Vista won't boot up! Please read! in BootSkin WinCustomize Forums

I am writing this from memory so the choices may be a little off. Put your Vista DVD in and boot to it. Go to restore a back up and let it search. I will come back and tell you it could not find a backup and ask you to find it manually. At that point you will have an explorer window that you can use to browse to the file you want to delete. Find your file, highlight it and hit the delete key on your keyboard, deleting the file. Reboot.
