DreamScene Error

Multiple downloads meet with same error

from WinCustomize Forums
I am receiving this error quite frequently with some of the .dreams I am downloading.





Can anyone help me figure out why?

My first thought is that I am in Iraq and for some reason the download is corrupting. But if that was the case wouldn't all my downloads corrupt? Not just certain ones at random?

What version of Windows Vista are you using and what are some of the Dreams that are giving you trouble?
Most Dreams are created from mpeg2 video files and need a codec to decode them.
Windows Ultimate and Home Premium come with this support built in, the others do not.

If this is the case, you can download a free codec from here.

VirtualDub is a small video editing program that will install mpeg2 support.

Not sure of the Authors. I just know that once I download them and try to activate them I just get a blue screen and that error message pops up.

With Ultimate you should be ok for the built in mpeg2 codec. Not sure about all of those dreams but these 3 are mpeg2.

You may still have a codec issue though as you could have one conflicting. To rule that out follow the steps in the MPEG-2 Video Codec section of the DeskScapes Troubleshooting Tips.
