    I've installed and activated dreamscene on windows 7 to try it out. After trying it out, I wanted to disable it cause it was causing some problems. After disabling it, I cannot do desktop slideshows because there are not more checkboxes next to the desktops to let me choose multiple images.

    There are many steps online to disable dreamscene, but they don't completely disable dreamscene. I just want to get my old desktop slideshow functioning the way it did before I installed dreamscene.

    Please help.

    Desktop slideshow replaced dreamscene, hopefully what ever hack you used has a restore ability. If not you can try a system restore to before you messed it up :D

    I do not think you can have both dreamscene and slideshow on the same system at the same time else they would have probably just left dreamscene on windows 7 instead of replacing it.

    Not sure if this still works on 7 but its a safe way to do about the same thing and its not against the UELA of Windows to do it.

    Also I really liked to use winamps milkdrop2 plugin as the desktop wallpaper it has that option and its a lot more interactive than any static dreamscene video (and actually used less CPU% than most of them)
