I thought I would get this new section started, I take no credit for creating these I?ve just hosted them for people to download.

Aurora

This was sent to me by a friend, I believe it was created by aeroxp.org

Bliss

This is from the Windows XP Bliss Screensaver by Microsoft, I converted it to a wmv file so it can be used in DreamScene.

This will let you use a screensaver as a desktop background, you carnt see the desktop icons with this though. It works in XP and Vista :)

The video files here wornt work with it though you need Vista Ultimate with the DremeScene extra for thise!

Would of been useful if you linked those :) Anyway... http://insanenutter.seifer402.com/misc/dreamscene/ ;)

Thaught i had lol, links work ok now! :D

If DreamScene is as good as it sounds, maybe one of these WMV HD sample clips will work as animated wallpaper?

One of the long 1080p ones actually kept crashing explorer for me. Ended up having to use a file browse window I opened from Task Manager to delete the video and stop it from getting applied. So there are limits, probably mostly on filesize :p

The WMV HD 1080p downloads of "Speed" and "Robotica" play fairly well on my now-average-performance system (which, suprisingly was graded at 4.3 on the Vista performance index):

Vista Ultimate RTM

AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (Clawhammer) - Stock clocking & FSB

DFI LanParty UT nF4 SLI-D

(2) OCZ 512MB PC3200

eVGA GeForce 6800 GT-I

Sceptre X9WG NAGA-V 19" Widescreen (16:9, 1440x900)

I personnaly think that DreamScene is just fish bait to make pc users buy Vista ultimate cause I also think that Vista is not "rush to the doors" os to get, as MS would think that people will buy blinded eyes. Everyone I know will try Vista as "the upgrade that you get FREE when you buy a new PC". They are just not ready to quit using XP.

    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
