   Hi Brandon,

   Yup - rebooted 4 times, ran Windows Update each time & still I see "There are no Windows Ulimate Extras Available".  I also went to "View Available Updates" & see 15 Language packs but nothing related to the DreamScene Content Pack.  Any ideas what I should try next?

   Shame it doesn't work with multiple monitors.  One of the main reasons I got ultimate is for extra's like Dreamscene, but people who have Ultimate computers often have multimonitor configurations...  Wouldn't it make sense to at least have it work on one of the monitors?!

   Just another dissapointment for me with Vista and I have to sell this stuff for a living.

   eseliq, Windows DreamScene works fine with my dual-monitor setup. It actually works amazing. If its not working for you with dual monitors its quite possible its a driver issue. I had to update my drivers. I do not believe Windows DreamScene works with 4 monitors though. Are you running 4 monitors?

   My favourite is the one which has the default Vista Wallpaper - I love that and also I like the Glowing Orb.

   I have also installed Stardock Deskscape and they have some excellent themes.If you havent checked Deskscape, do check it out friends

   BTW, thumbs up to Vista Ultimate Team for releasing a good Dreamscene Content Pack :)

   I really like the waterfall dream.  Make sure to stop by the Dream gallery at Dream.WinCustomize.Com, as we have had some fantastic .dreams submitted this past week.

   Prety cool update to dreamscen seems more stable i thought it was interesting but never really used it and was REALLLLY wondering when more things would come out and ya i think the lazer thing and waterfall are best.. the start button glowing is cool but for some reason dosnt show good  widescreen.

   Sadly Dreamscene is so brutally cpu intesive on a dual monitor system that it just isn't feasible for me to run it.  It would be nice if I could run it on just one desktop.

   Actually, it would be nicer if it wasn't brutally cpu intensive.  

   It would be even nicer if someone could beat the ultimates team into blogging on something more frequent than every 2 or 3 months in response to a huge public outcry over their apparent inability to do anything at all.

   They could start with explaining why Dreamscene was ready in July, but not delivered until days AFTER their promised release date in september.

    Ok, moved my machine forward from a 3ghz P4 to an Athalon X2 5200+ and upgraded the video card.

    Since I now have more available CPU cycled, Dreamscene now occupies a much smaller percentage of them and is now worth running on SOME of the video clips.

    I've checked out a number of third party stuff as well as a the content pack and the waterfall from the content pack is definitely one of the very best out there.  It isn't fake, it has a very smooth loop (except for a single little water drop in the image) and is visually appealing.

    THere are a few others out there that are interesting, like a northern lights one, but they are often just a static image with a single animated center image and clearly look like it.

    Others just move to darn fast to not be distracting.  

    Yup, definitely the waterfall.  More nature bits like it would be cool.
