Windows 7 DreamScene Activator: Activate DreamScene in Windows 7

May 2nd, 2010 - Customization, Downloads, Tips & Tricks, Windows 7


Windows 7 DreamScene Activator is a free tiny portable tool that activates DreamScene in Windows 7. DreamScene is a feature that allows users to set any video in WMV/MPG format as the desktop wallpaper. This feature was included in Windows Vista but was removed in Windows 7.

How to use:

  1. Run the tool as administrator.
  2. Click Enable DreamScene. It will now copy the required files and add the necessary registry keys & values. Then it will restart Windows Explorer & DreamScene will be enabled.
  3. Right-Click on any video in WMV/MPG format and select Set as desktop background. Now the selected video will be set as the desktop wallpaper.

You can find nice DreamScenes on deviantART.

    Movies seem to work fine, but I downloaded a couple of .dream files, and they don't seem to work on my 32-bit Windows 7 Enterprise machine.

  • http://www.door2windows.com/ Kishan Bagaria

    This tool doesn't work with .dream files. .dream files are only supported by Stardock DeskScape.

    after running the program my windows explorer restarted but there is no “set as background” option where i right click on a wmv or an mpg file..

  • Corralesdan

    Is there any way to get the video to loop? Dream Scene works on my 64-bit Windows 7, but it only runs through the video once. Am I missing something?

  • http://www.door2windows.com/ Kishan Bagaria

    The video should loop automatically. Send me the DreamScene that you are trying to apply.

  • Corralesdan

    It's the Brokeh Dream Scene from Deviant:

    http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/?q=d...

  • Corralesdan

    Not sure what I did, but it's working fine now. Thanks for a nice piece of work.

  • Corralesdan

    Nope. Now it's now looping again. I've tried with Deviant art such as the Brokeh and also with one of my own videos — both wmv files.

  • Corralesdan

    Opps 'now' should be 'not' looping again.

  • Gomer

    Great work! How can I control if it pauses when an application is maximized? I do not want it to pause.

  • http://www.door2windows.com/ Kishan Bagaria

    If you do that, it will take up too much memory and other apps will not be able to work properly.

  • steelew

    What's new in 1.1?

  • http://www.door2windows.com/ Kishan Bagaria

    It has both 32-bit & 64-bit versions merged.

  • Gomer

    I have ATI quad core and 2 – ATI HD 3870's in crossfire supporting 2 monitors. I can handle it. I can manually unpause with a maximized window and have no issues. Is there really no option to turn off the pausing by default?

  • http://www.door2windows.com/ Kishan Bagaria

    Nope

  • Chronosome

    How do I remove this program completely? Ever since running it, my desktop takes 10 times as long to load. I deleted the exe and W7DSA folder, but the slowdown continues and I still have the “Play Dreamscene” item in my desktop context menu. Can you please help me “uninstall” this software? (Since it’s not registered in my Control Panel, I can’t uninstall it properly.

    Thanks for any help you can give.
