How to enable Dreamscene in Windows 7
Installing Dreamscene:
1. You need to have Aero enabled. If you think Aero isn’t enabled, open the Start Menu, and type in Aero. Click on Find and fix problems with transparency and other visual effects and go through the wizard. The wizard will inform you whether your computer is capable of having Aero on.
2. If you’re on 32-bit Windows 7, download the Windows 7 Dreamscene patch. If you’re on 64-bit Windows 7, download the patch and follow instructions in Important Readme.txt. Skip Step 3.
3. Run the patch. Once it’s finished, explorer.exe will restart. If it doesn’t, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click on Task Manager. Right click on explorer.exe and click on End Task. Click on File, New Task, type in explorer.exe and press OK.
Setting video clips as your desktop background
4. Before adding videos, make sure that your videos are in .wmv or .mpg format. If not in one of those formats, you can download a free video converter. To convert video – Choose Add Video and choose your video choice. The drop down-menu in the right side-bar will allow you to choose your codec. The bottom portion of the sidebar will allow you to change the video size or bitrate. Once the video is finished converting, a new window will pop-up. Right click your video and choose Open Destination File Location to locate the video.
You can also access your converted videos at this directory:
C:\users\%username%\Documents\Any Video Converter\
Once you have converted the file, just right-click and select Set as Desktop Background and Dreamscene will begin to work.
If you want to revert back to a stationery wallpaper, sometimes the stopped video will stay frozen on your wallpaper. To fix this, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click on Task Manager. Right click on explorer.exe and click on End Task. Click on File, New Task, type in explorer.exe and press OK.
