Dreams frozen when computer comes out of hibernation

Hi, I just got DeskScapes and am really impressed with it. However, I seem to have run into an issue that I imagine will be occuring quite often. I typically don't ever "Shut Down" my computer (running Vista Home Premium), instead electing to set it to "Hibernate" whenever I want to power it down. It seems that when the computer comes out of Hibernation, the Dream I had running is frozen. In order to make it start up again, I have to select another Dream and then reselect the one I initially had running. Is there anything I can do, or any planned fix for this?

Thanks!

I've noticed this problem as well when returning from sleep mode, or even after shutting down.

Same for me. I use the desktop right-click menu to "Pause DreamScapes" then again to "Resume DreamScapes".

I tried the "Pause then Resume" trick too, but it didn't seem to work for me.

Unfortunately I don't think that's the case. I've got an ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2, which is pretty close to top of the line. In addition, I've got the most recent version of Catalyst installed.

I might be way off the mark here but could it be a time lag between bringing the computer fully awake and the time the dream restarts. Just a guess.

Dreams not working after coming back from a sleep state is a known issue and unfortunately one that is quite dificult to fix (or so I have been told). This mainly has to do with the loose standardization of what the different sleep states on PCs actually mean. The best advice I can give is to check the site for your PC manufacturer for any BIOS updates that may be available that update power save mode issues.
