    I'm going to say this once.

    DO NOT TRY ANY LEAKED VERSIONS OF ANY WINDOWS ULTIMATE EXTRAS PRODUCT!

    They are pre-release and not thoroughly tested. There was a reason why they were not release with the Vista launch. If you find any links then send me a pm directly so I can get with the beta coordinator and let them know where the file is at. If anyone knows who did leak it then that will be useful. That person will likely get removed from the beta (and any future ones).

    Also I will note that the product will not run on any version other than Windows Ultimate Edition so unless that is the version you got then you are wasting your time. That is unless it was cracked to work on any version then in that case I would be worried about a trojan horse being in the application.

    Dreamscene works pretty well on my M1210... I love how it pauses the video if you have a word document or browser at full screen... and how it autoplays right when you mininize it seems so smooth... I play a 720p 1280x720 video on the background the cpu usage went up to 10-25 ish... on the low music vidoe 1-15 ish... :] It's freaking sweet i haven't had any problem with it SO far. I been showing off at school quite often but when connect a external monitor you might recieve an error [not a reboot but a explorer reboot]... sometimes when i restart from hibernation it does the same... otherwise it's sweet :]

    anyone installed dreamscene on a sony vaio SZ series? have an SZ280P with an NVIDIA Geforce Go 7400 and have 2GB RAM.....

    With 1 screen, everythign is smooth and works fine. I can even watch a movie fullscreen with dreamscene running. Howver, if I add an external monitor and extend my desktop to the external monitor, the dreamscene movie looks a bit sluggish....furtermore, if I run mediaplayer, the video I play is slow and lags.....

    anyone experience this also?
