New updates including DreamScene Preview


Recommended Posts

Just updated my Mouse drivers and did another force check and it came up with JunkMail updates for Windows Mail and Outlook 2007 plus DreamScene preview!! :)

Just installed it and it seems pretty good, no flickering on the included video. Seems to use about 5-8% CPU, but it is a preview so that may improve.

I expect this is only for Ultimate users.

Hrm updates installed and rebooted, i cant find it though.. care to point out how to run/start it?

You have to right click on a video and select Set As Desktop Background

You can also right click on the desktop and choose Personalize and then select Desktop Background and you can choose a folder with any videos you have.

Side Note

I've never seen anyone mention this anywhere yet. When you choose a regular static image you see those options on the bottom where you can stretch the image out or give it a checkerboard pattern where the image is broken up into different sections.

This works with videos as well. Pick the video you want and when it starts playing shoose the checkerboard pattern :laugh: I didn't expect that to work on the videos

I don't know if this is just me, but to me, it seems that Vista is a lot more responsive when using videos as backgrounds using this version than using the "beta" version. With the older version, Vista seems a bit sluggish, but now its ok. It may just be me though lol.

Install the english language pack, switch to it, install DS, and switch back to italian ;)

Thanks a lot :) It just needed the english MUI files (it wasn't necessary to switch language); after I downloaded them, Windows Update found Poker Hold em and Windows Dreamscene. :)

Ever since installing Dreamscene and selecting the Dreamscene background, my display driver has been crashing sporadically when I'm doing certain things. Luckily, Vista handles this very well and doesn't crash the system, just notifies me the nvkdlmm driver stopped working and fixes itself.

The new 100.64 drivers couldn't have come at a better time - gonna try them and see if that fixes it.

scrap that, just done a recheck and DreamScene?is there along with the junkmail stuff lol

Junkmail and DreamScene, that fits together just fine:laugh::

Having videos as wallpaper is about as useful as having junkmail in your inbox. Both things are just as annoying, too:pinch::

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
