Dreamscene lockups?

[Riptide]

Anyone else have this issue? After I last rebuilt my system I've noticed if I have dreamscenes running on my computer it will randomly lock up hard. It may take a few days or even a week but it happens every time. If I shut dreamscenes off it runs fine for literally weeks or whenever I reboot. I've tried reloading the video driver but it doesn't want to help. I've tried beta video drivers as well.

Thoughts?

Memory leak? Check VM Size after a few days to see if it consume memory or handles. I think Dreamscenes runs off an explorer.exe thread.

OK. I do have 8GB of main memory if that matters.

I've not once installed DreamScene and had it work propperly. DreamScene and games just don't mix for me. It worked OK 'til I loaded a game, then it locks up.:thumbdwn:

I used to use a video player called Core Player. It would let you play video on your desktop and worked perfectly.

Dreamscene has never worked for me either. It constantly crashes and recovers the video driver.

Though it seems like I'm always using some weird ass video driver when I try it. I'm sure if I actually used a known reliable driver it would be better. :p

It seems to work fine for a long time. But within a week of turning it on while I'm watching movies or even viewing southparkstudios.com content it will lock up hard. Never while I'm in a game. Only watching vids w/a player or my web browser (streaming). That's when it freaks.

Turn off dreamscenes and it's fine. WTF.
