Disappearing Dreams

August 28, 2008 6:47:03 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Weird problem: I download dreams and they disappear! Initially they were in the Deskscape window (where you choose what you wish to do...ie, get more, choose a Dream, etc.). After a while I come back, and they aren't there anymore. The default ones are, but the downloads are not.
I download with FF3, and instruct to open with the appropriate program.
I can locate shortcuts, and such, but why aren't the dreams where they're supposed to be?

If you download and run from the FF dialog the dreams are stored in your Temp directory, not where they need to be.  Some of SD apps copy the skins to the appropriate directory (like WB and SoundPackager [I think]).  Others you have to move yourself.

Dreams need to be in the User\username\documents\stardock\dream directory (I think).
If that's teh wrong one, search for "Bouncing Box Sample.Dream" and after you download and save (not run) your dreams put them there.

Can you post a screenshot of the Windows background dialog with dreams (animated wallpaper) selected?
And maybe one of the Windows explorer with the dream directory showing?

Just solved it! Dragged the folders from one folder to the other and whammy...now they appear in the window which opens when Deskscapes is clicked on.

Thanx guys...I feel less totally stupid! Now I'm only almost totally stupid.
Ahhhh well, perfection is hard to achieve!

1. Users/User/Stardock/Dreams
2. Desktop/Dr.J./Documents/Stardock/Dreams

I think my system (or I) somehow duplicated things.
What software should I use to get good screenshots, Zu?
