I really want to buy DeskScapes 2.0 for my big desktop computer, but until I know I can use DreamScene/DeskScapes with multiple monitors I'm holding off...any news?

Sorry to nag, any updates on this?

That's fine, I'll wait. I know I have a very unusual setup (Rhino 3D also acts funny with it). If only multiple monitors and SLI were not mutually exclusive...

I'd rather have a quality solution that requires waiting than a rush-job or see the issue dropped entirely. Does this have something to do with DeskScapes 2.0 being developed right now?

Thanks for looking into this. I can say though that your app isn't the only one that does not work correctly with dual monitors/graphics cards. Microsoft Flight Simulator X (with Acceleration expansion) will not launch if more than one monitor is detected. It claims that the graphics hardware is insufficient (even though it will run on either a 9800GX2 or a 7900GTX, but unlike its vanilla cousin, it is not smart enough to just blank out the second monitor and stop complaining).

It's probably me having a 7900GTX and a 9-series. Somehow, despite Vista's ban on loading different drivers (i.e. ATI and NVIDIA) you can load drivers from the same manufacturer that are completely different as long as they are wrapped up in the same package. I can play DreamScene with the 7900GTX shut off though.

I can't even play DreamScene at all because multiple display adapters are detected... How are you getting DreamScene to play with two display adapters?

I am running [B]Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1[/B]. The processor is an [B]Intel Q6600[/B] (quad core CPU) overclocked to 3.2GHz (no way instability from overclocking is causing the problem, I tried DreamScene with one monitor, one adapter etc. etc.)

Thanks! Remember, the 9800GX2 works fine by itself when it is in Multi-GPU mode ("SLI on a stick") and SLI videocards (when I had 7900GTX SLI) work fine with DreamScene/Deskscapes. You can have two videocards physically present in the system (two 7900GTX, two 9800GX2 GPUs in one slot) but DreamScene only cooperates when the GPUs are presentings themselves in a teamed fashion. However, when GPU teaming (I can't speak for CrossFire but I imagine the same rule/logic applies) is employe

With the 9800GX2 in Multi-GPU mode (showing up as a single GPU as far as rendering tasks go) and the 7900GTX disabled, DreamScene/DeskScapes works fine. My point is that there is a Windows error because DreamScene does not support multiple video adapters, SLI or not. I was looking for a workaround.

I cannot login to these forums through Firefox! The rest of the internet works. I've tried clearing cookies, cache and private data but the forum either redirects me back to the page I was just on (where I tried to log in) or says "Login attempt failed!" even though I verified my username and password with a forgot-password email.

I do not have any Dynamic Dreams right now, I thought all dynamic dreams were pay-only... I run the latest Catalyst Mobility drivers.

EXPLORER.EXE has stopped working in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

DreamScene and DeskScapes used to work. I decided that I wanted to use static backgrounds for a while, and when I looked for some new Dreams I saw that an update was available to DS, 1.0.2 (I had 1.0.1). I installed 1.0.2 and now every time I try to load a Dream or video file from the Personalize control panel, Explorer.exe comes down on my head. I tried four different Dreams and two different videos (Microsoft defaults). Same result. Crash.
