Re: DreamScene and DreamScene Contrant Available Today

Heh heh.....what you should do is look for "Installed Updates" (lower left
of the Update window) and uninstall any Windows Dreamscene - the original
one will be the preview one and will be right at the bottom most likely and
then the more recent ones until they are all gone..
Reboot and then try again.

Re: DreamScene and DreamScene Contrant Available Today

Been there - done that - TWICE - I still don't have Dream Scene.
DS is much like my 3rd wife - just not meant to be part of my life it seems.
Good news is, I keep my desktop a solid black.
I don't need no stinkin' Dreama Sceenie

Re: DreamScene and DreamScene Contrant Available Today

Problem solved -
My already mentioned ex-wife must have gone into the Windows Features
setting and TURNED OFF Dream Scene.
I assume she assumed it was part of the divorce settlement - it WASN'T.
I turned it on - did the update, d/l, install, reboot deal, and all is well.
The water fall is very nice, as is the one with the rolling ball bearing,
or whatever it is.

Next time I get married, I'm including Windows Features Settings in the
pre-nup.
Its the right thing to do
;-)
