maxXPsoft Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) it works but i have to figure out how to do something first so its better and saferIf you have a value in the registry say its 15.its a DWORDHow would I increment that in dos cmdline and the registry to be 16?I can do a query and I get <NO NAME> REG_DWORD 0x15I think I can use a For and get last 2 characters into a variable but i'm not good with ForNo clue amit. I've not been playing with 64 Edited July 1, 2007 by maxXPsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 ok amitfirst post is the way I'm doing it, I found I could make it work without incrementing that 1 key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amit_talkin Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 good work bro. i am sure it is working fine now caz u have tested it . saving this webpage for offline use now . thnx for it. AMIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Ok the black background I've figured out is because when you start a dreamscene within vista it creates a image.jpg of 1 scene from that file and stores it. When you reboot with dreamscene on and come back to desktop you will see this image for a few seconds, motionless like a wallpaper. I think its giving time for the dreamscene to kick inIf you needed to you can create a still shot and store it in this reg key location and it will start like any other. I tried it with another image till i figured out you can pause the dreamscene and get your shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxXPsoft Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 (edited) you need quotes around them paths will be long nameREG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v WallPaper /t REG_SZ /d "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows DreamScene\DreamScene.jpg" /fREG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MotionDesktop" /v FilePath /t REG_SZ /d "%systemroot%\Web\Windows DreamScene\rockystream.mpg" /fnotice that Windows DreamScene has a space in itEdited my first post.explain what is "DreamScene.jpg" ? is it screenshot of dreamscene video? i have tried to capture ss of it. but Screenshots only showing blackscreen after saving it as jpg file!The DreamScene.jpg and the Img001.jpg are just still shots of the dream.You can pause it to grab screenshot.EDIT: Just right click the Desktop and a Pause Dream Scene will be in that Context menuI just got through doing complete Install and Dream was playing and seen it.

amit_talkin Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi,just want to inform u tht in vista sp1, reg entry to enable dreamscene at 1st logon is changed.as far i have tested it i can say new keys are as below.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-111066163-3857612836-1258876716-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DreamScene]"FilePath"="G:\\Windows\\Web\\Windows DreamScene\\BlissfulSunset.mpg"i have tried this new entry and dreamscene worked fine for me now the main question is that how to add this entry in registry?because SID changes often, if u will run this reg. in ur pc thn dreamscene wont be enabled as ur SID is diff. right?so is there any variable to set reg. key ?i meanHKU\%SID%\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DreamScene\"something like that!AMIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 HKU\%SID% is only a temporary location for some keys. That key is mirrored inHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DreamSceneWhat I'm saying is you should be able to add it there and should work.I don't have SP1 integrated at this time cause I was waiting on a final.
