| 635981 | 2008-01-31 14:51:00 | THIS ONLY WORKS ON THE 32 BIT VERSION OF VISTA This has been tried and tested by me. 1) Download the files needed from HERE. 2) Extract files to a temp folder. 3) Copy DreamScene.dll to %WinDir%\System32\ folder. Copy DreamScene.dll.mui to %WinDir%\System32\en-US\ folder. 4) In Windows Explorer, navigate to %WinDir%\System32\ folder. 5) Right click on themecpl.dll file, and click on Properties on right click menu. 6) Select the Security tab, then click Advanced. 7) Subsequenly select the Owner tab, click Edit button. Press Continue (or log in if you’re not Administrator) on any User Access Control prompt. 8) Select your Vista logon user name, then click OK button. Then click OK in any dialog window that pops up, and press OK again at Advanced Security Settings window. 9) On Security tab, click the Edit button. Press Continue (or log in if you’re not already an Administrator) on User Access Control prompt. 10) Click Add button, and click on Advanced button. Next press Find Now button, and then select your logged on user name. Press OK when done. 11) Click OK again on Select Users or Groups dialog. 12) On Permissions for themecpl.dll window, highlight your user name, and check the box next to “Full Control” under “Allow” column. Hit OK when done, and confirm any message. Click OK twice to exit from ownership taking process. 13) Rename the file themecpl.dll in %WinDir%\System32 to themecpl.dll.original. 14) Copy the patched version of themecpl.dll to %WinDir%\System32\ folder. 15) Repeat step 4 - 12 on themecpl.dll.mui file located in %WinDir%\System32\en-US\ folder. 16) After taking ownership, rename the file %WinDir%\System32\en-US\themecpl.dll.mui to themecpl.dll.mui.original. 17) Copy the patched version of themecpl.dll.mui to %WinDir%\System32\en-US\ folder. 18) Create a new folder in %windir%\Web named “Windows DreamScene” (without quotes). This is the location to place all your videos want to set as DreamScene wallpaper, and can be easily configured via Control Panel Personalization applet. 19) Finally, import and merge DreamScene.reg to registry. 20) Reboot computer. Using DreamScene After patching, right click on any blank space on Desktop, select “Personalize”, then click on “Desktop Background”. Under location, select “Windows DreamScene Content”, and then select a animated video you want. |

| 635990 | 2008-02-01 12:46:00 | First, right click on the desktop, choose properties, then wall paper. Then browse manually to the location of the dreamscene videos, then select it. After it's playing, then only could you pause or play the dreamscene. But u were not even chooing aq dreamscene to start with that's why it's greyed out dude |
