Here is the patch (Thanks to timbertide)

Download NonUltimateDreamScene.zip (from here) and unpack the archive content to a folder.
Right click on InstallDreamScene.bat and select “Run as Administrator” to install Windows DreamScene on your non-Ultimate version of Vista. Answer “Y” to continue. You can also open elevated command prompt with administrator rights and type InstallDreamScene.bat to execute the batch script.
Restart your computer.

You can download the DESKscape program for free, and there are some hacks, and free .dream images here as well as Vista DremScene .mpg images: Free Dreamscenes*-*VistaHD.org
note- (scroll by page see bottom of screen. there are 641 pages- if you dont like watermarks, it costs $2 to download them without the "Vista hd")

Unfortunately it didn't work with me! :cry:

Did as advised, still my Vista can't open .dream files.

Thats right.

In the other thread I linked, it states .dream images (which are for DESKscape) must be extracted. I cannot use them in my Dreamscape either. Most of the downloads from that Vista hd site that are for Vista Dreamscape are .mpg videos.

attached is the dreamscene .mpg video from the other thread. Dreamscene images must be right clicked and "set as Desktop background"

How do I assign the "mpg" file as wallpaper? I can't select anything other than jpg/bmp as wall paper.

Dreamscene (animated/video wallpapers) patch for Windows Vista Home Premium and Business edition!

Mod edit:
Here is the patch (Thanks to timbertide)
Download NonUltimateDreamScene.zip (or from here) and unpack the archive content to a folder.
Right click on InstallDreamScene.bat and select “Run as Administrator” to install Windows DreamScene on your non-Ultimate version of Vista. Answer “Y” to continue. You can also open elevated command prompt with administrator rights and type InstallDreamScene.bat to execute the batch script.
Restart your computer.

If you don't know how to get permission of systrem files in Vista, then using TakeControl can make the process easy. Read the Steps.
You can take help from this Video Tutorial on DreamScene Patch.
After installing this patch, Click Here for some HD videos for DreamScene.
Source:http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13105

If you are still having problem in installing the patch then please read the comments for the help.



Update: Razorblade has released the final DreamScene version for non-Ultimate, English language, and working for both 32 and 64 bits. It better works having SP1 installed (because its themecpl.dll supports DreamScene). It's the same installation method (a batch file), but please read the Readme.txt file first.
Download Here or here or Here or Here


If the program installed copy the video into the dreamscape folder:

Right click desktop>Personalize>Desktop background
