Deskscapes refuse to work, need help please!

from Stardock Forums
I just stumbled upon this DeskScape program last night and I've installed it but I noticed a problem. I have no problem getting DeskScapes to work, unless they are large in size (15-30mb), ie: DeepOcean, SharkPit, ExoticPlasma. Any dreamscene thats 1-10mb seem to work fine, I don't think its a problem with my system however as I have a computer more than capable of handling all this. Here are a few specs: AMD64 3200+ (2.0ghz), ATI Radeon X850XT PE 256mb, 2gb DDR RAM. Any help would be appriciated.

Microsoft Dreamscenes has a problem with older ATI graphics cards and multiple monitor setups.  It cannot support a combined width of more than 2048 pixels.  If it exceeds this then it is unable to play video.

Stardock Deskscapes supports those setups for dynamic content, but not for video content as it uses the Microsoft Dreamscenes engine for video.

In general having 3 monitors will slow down both as data has to be copied between video cards.
