New User DeskScapes Questions

September 9, 2008 11:11:03 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hello!  I'm new to all this, I purchased DeskScapes thinking it would allow me to run my animated wallpapers on my Vista Home Premium machine, since Vista does not have Active Desktop.  These are wallpapers I've purchased elsewhere which require Active Desktop to run.  After installing DeskScapes, the Dreams animated wall papers run just fine.  I can't figure out how to get my other animated wallpapers to run, or is that even possible?  Does DeskScapes only run Dreams animated wallpapers?  If "outside" animated wallpapers can be used, how?  Also, does Deskscapes have a printed manual of any sort?

Yes but I know you can run MPEG and WMV files also if you have Vista Ultimate and DreamScene installed. I'm not sure if this applies in your case.

If "outside" animated wallpapers can be used, how?
  Depending what file format they are, see the above answer.

Also, does Deskscapes have a printed manual of any sort?
No

Thank you for your responses, CarGuy1!!  Very helpful!  You've created some very beautiful wallpapers, btw!  So are you like the "moderator" for this site?  There's soo much I need to learn about DeskScapes.  Other than the forum here, is there someplace else on this site where I can get basic info (like what's a skin?).  Thank you.

Thanks and I'm glad you like my dreams.

I'm not a moderator, just a user that likes to contribute. You'll find that most people on this site are the same in that they will do their best to help if they can.

A good place to start to find the answers your looking for is the "help" link at the top of the page.

Also, one of the best place to find answers is the Wiki.  http://wiki.wincustomize.com/wiki/Main_Page

Lastly, welcome to Wincustomize.
