    I have Vista Ultimate 32 bit and installed every Windows Update.
    My Dreamscenes are stopping every time I start my computer and Vista says the display drivers coulds load properly or something. I have Dell XPS m1530 Nvidia 8600 GT computer with Dell Nvidia display drivers. But i uninstalled them and Istalled Laptopvideo2go Vista 32 Nvidia 169.28 drivers. Ran Nvidia sweeper to get the Nvidia drivers out of the system before I installed 169.28.But then Dreamscene couldn't play anything because it said it couldn't decode it or something.

    What NVIDIA display drivers work with Dreamscenes or is it something else?

    Everytime I try to set a Dreamscene Vista shuts it down says there was an error.

    Perhaps you should reinstall the Dell video drivers and see if you still have this problem.

    It's likely a video driver but it could with Vista itself too. Try install service pack 1 if you have access to it.

    SPI isn't available for Sweden or it isn't released for my Vista (not on Windows Update)..? I renamed some dreamscenes to wmv and some of them worked. I installed the Vista codec pack.
    Some wmv files work. Maybe should wait until I can download SP1.
