Sometimes when trying to apply a dream/video/wallpaper, the background blacks out suggesting that it's a codec issue. The previews in DeskScapes for dreams, videos and wallpapers works fine. No matter what I do, no dreams, videos or wallpapers of any kind will load or can be applied once Media Center is installed and activated. After Media Center is successfully added, I have to re-verify the activation of Windows and when that's taken care of, I'm activated once again with only this time as Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center RTM 圆4.ĥ.

I then upgrade to Media Center (via the add features to Windows feature in the Control Panel) using my legit 8.1 WMC key when prompted, then rebooting a few times to let it install. All dreams, videos and wallpapers work just fine.Ĥ. I even reboot a few times and all is still well.

After rebooting and verifying my Windows is activated, I install DeskScapes to confirm everything is working fine. When Windows 8.1 Pro is booted, activate Windows 8.1 Pro using my legit Windows 8 key via the phone activation method.ģ. Install Windows 8.1 Pro 圆4 RTM using the default install key when asked (not using my legit Windows 8 key yet, just the default one so it'll install but not activate).Ģ. Just in case, this is my Windows 8.1 Pro RTM clean install procedure.ġ.

So Media Center is probably the key here. But when I added Media Center, it just refuses to work. To test, I even did a clean Windows 8.1 RTM install and immediately added DeskScapes, and it works perfectly. It either blacks out the background or doesn't do anything at all. DeskScapes can't even apply normal wallpaper images after Media Center is added too. However, the second I add Media Center no dreams, not even the default ones provided with DeskScapes, will load at all. Windows 8.1 RTM without Media Center works perfectly with WMV video dreams for example. I'm capable of doing testing with video dreams by converting the MPEG-2 video dreams to other video formats (e.g MPEG-2 to WMV, AVI, etc.) and I can pretty much say the codecs isn't the issue. In my testing with Windows 8.1 Pro 圆4 RTM with Media Center, I've found this isn't the case.

However any issues with video dreams will be codec issues.
