I couldn't find a link that said "tech support" or anything like that, and I searched the forums and didn't find a similar problem, so here goes.
Whenever I would run a program that needed to run in fullscreen, such as any games or even media players, I would get the message "Windows Explorer has stopped working," then the screen would switch between several different display modes and finally give up and bring me back to the sesktop. After going through this process two or three times, the program would finally run. I thought the problem was with my video drivers, but according to Vista's problem reporter, it was Deskscapes.
Sure enough, as soon as I removed Deskscapes, the problem went away. Here is a copy of the report:

The date is just a random event I picked. I have over 30 events that are all the same.
Despite it saying "Solution Available," it just said to install the latest version of Vista. I'm up-to-date on all of that.
I really like Deskscapes and even paid for a few of the premium dreams. However, I can't keep having my computer crash like this. I am on an HP dv9000 laptop with Vista Ultimate x64, GeForce Go 7600, 4GB of RAM. I really hope the newest version of Deskscapes solves this problem, because it's only been an hour, and I already miss my photo collage wallpaper.
