    You can use any wmv files you want afaik, so you can make your own vids as long as they're in the right format - I forget what the other formats it uses are as I'm working on getting XP running, but take a look in the dreamscene options and it'll tell you what the formats.

    I dl'd a couple of WWE wrestlers entrance vids to put as my background :D

    Maybe you should get something hardcore as a video, so that you would actually look at the desktop from time to time.

    theres a few here of fairly basic ones

    http://www.dreamscene.org

    and you can also use any of the 720p or 1080i hd vids from windows media hd showcase i found, i also downloaded a torrent pack of a few, a turtle one etc that are very good

    i really want to be able to run the .dream ones tho, as you get sound and stuff, there must be a way ?

    Go here:

    http://www.vistahd.org/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/

    Follow the link to deskscapes and download the free plugin.

    Then choose and use any of the 57 dreamscenes here, many of which are HD. I like this the best and there is no site watermark in the final free download:

    <object width='425' height='355'><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F__w5tPPwgM&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F__w5tPPwgM&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width='425' height='355'></embed></object>

    no i have not had any errors as of yet at all !!

    i really want to get the .dream ones working

    http://wincustomize.com/

    on menu on the right han side click on dream, there are loads of them, click most downloaded etc , some of them look fantastic, like tunder and lightining storms with sound effects too, there are loads fo great looking ones, they work the same as the dreamscene , but the thing you need to run them is called deskscapes,and it only works on vista ultimate

    http://dream.wincustomize.com/index.aspx

    there is only 1.02 on their site,its free but only works on ultimate vista, but there is a 2.o that works on home vista, but its a beta and only available to subscibers of this object desktop here...

    http://wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?aid=172930

    there must be a way to get it working for free somehow ,help me find it and get it working
