Help with Dream Scene please

Hello,
I have Vista Ultimate on a HP notebook. I would like to install dream
scene. It's not in the ultimate extras updates. When I go to view update
history It shows that it tried to download last November but the download
was cancelled. I can't find any info on reinstalling it. Can you please
tell me how I can install it and is it worth installing?

Thanks in advance,
Linda

hello go to the control panel > Programs and features of vista (the old add
remove programs) and then to "turn windows features on and off" and see if
its listed there as a component to be removed

if it is, remove it and go to windows update and redownload it...

if you need any further help post..

tell us if this helps

Thank you for your reply. I tried what you suggested, going to "turn
windows features on and off" and dream scene is not there. It's not in the
add remove programs either. I even tried a search and there is no trace of
it anywhere on the computer.

I also updated Windows Ultimate Extras. It says "No new Windows Ultimate
Extras are available for your computer at this time.

Linda

When you open Windows Updates, in the left side menu, click Restore Hidden
Updates. Do you see Dream Scene there?

No, there is nothing listed in the restore hidden updates list.

I did a search of my computer for Dream Scene and there is no trace of it.

Is there anywhere I can go to download it?

Make sure you have used all of the proper steps to install Dreamscene. It
may be that it is already installed? There should be a folder at this
location:
C:\Windows\Web\Windows DreamScene
That contains several video files.
You also must be using a video card that is capable of running the Aero
Theme.

See this page for more information.

MR MVP.. lol.. you guys dont know much about vista do you?

You can install dreamscene on non aero glass capable vista just fine!
the microsoft even says this, and then goes on to say that it enables non
glass capable systems to set videos
as wallpapers but in static mode only.
