Re: Vista Desktop Wallpaper Fit options, I thought there were 5 options?

Hi lersince1991,

If you re-enable DreamScene you should be able to use the extra options again. However, note the following (taken from 'Windows Vista In Depth'):

"DreamScene full-motion video wallpaper is an enjoyable addition to Vista Ultimate, but it requires a powerful 3D graphics card. Users with integrated laptop graphics or older discrete graphics cards with limited RAM or 3D rendering capabilities are likely to discover that DreamScene reduces system reponsiveness."

I would have suggested that you install a more powerful graphics card on your PC, but since it is a laptop that will not be possible (or extremely difficult if it is). Instead, make sure that you have installed the maximum amount of RAM that your laptop can take and check regularly for updates for your graphics driver as a more recent driver might mean the difference between being able to run DreamScene and not being able to.
