Dream Files Corrupted!!

October 17, 2007 6:27:48 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I just downloded Deskscapes and one of the premium dream files. I run Windows Vista Ultimate with an SLI array using 2 Nvidia 8800 GTS cards on an Nvidia 680i MoBo with 3 GB ram and the latest certified Nvidia drivers.

Dreamscape works fine with WMV files. The Deskscape Dream files all show the upper half of the screen as a mass of pixellated corruption. I tried all the available SLI modes and finally turned SLI off with no improvement. What's going on??

Did you download and install all of the SLI and Vista fixes that nVidia lists as pre-reqs for getting SLI to work under Vista?

I recall doing that from the nvidia site a while back. I'll head back to the site and review the fix links and be sure I've got them all. My SLI has been working fine with other programs.

I can't get Vista Standalone Update to work, so all of the recommended updates are not yet installed. This is a common issue after good old Microsoft took it upon themselves to update the WUSA.exe module whether you had updates authorized or not! Now it is completely screwed up for quite a few Vista users. SP1 is supposed to deal with this. Until then, I can't do manual updates...only what is offered to me thru Microsoft Update on the web. Thanks, Bill!!

Do you think that these updates will fix the problem??

I know that my video display glitches have cleared up over the last few months when I installed the newest drivers, the fixes, and the "performance and compatibility updates" from MS. SLI is still on the edge of Vista compatibility afaik but if the rest of your SLI games/etc work, then perhaps this is not the issue. I'd give them all a shot though.
