Re: Help with Dream Scene please

MR MVP.. lol.. you guys dont know much about vista do you?

You can install dreamscene on non aero glass capable vista just fine!
the microsoft even says this, and then goes on to say that it enables non
glass capable systems to set videos
as wallpapers but in static mode only.

Re: Help with Dream Scene please

I looked and DreamScene is not in C:\Windows\Web\Windows DreamScene. I've
done a search of the computer and there is no DreamScene anywhere.

Yes, my computer does run the Aero theme. It's a HP Pavilion dv6000
notebook. I purchased it new in November.

DreamScene is not in the ultimate extras updates. My update says there are
no Ultimate extras available. When I go to view update history It shows that
DreamScene tried to download last November but the download
was cancelled. I have the computer set to auto download updates.

Is there anywhere, maybe from Microsoft, that I can get Dreamscene?

I know I never got the Ultimate Extra Texas Hold'em Poker Game either. I
don't know if I've missed any other Extras.


Thank you for your help!!!

Linda

Re: Help with Dream Scene please

your computer has service pack 1 downloaded by a mistake microsoft made and
released sp1 to some users
of 64 bit vista.

To verify this go to start, and type winver and press enter

When you have SP1 then no extras are in the list because they have not
updated them for SP1

You are losing your time trying to find a solution. You will have to wait
until the extras are upated for SP1

Re: Help with Dream Scene please

Hi Linda

There is a way to refresh the windows updates that will cause the updates
that are not installed to be offered again. I'm not sure about the exact
steps to accomplish this.

Post a message in the Windows Update newsgroup and the experts there should
be able to help. Here is the direct link to access that newsgroup.
