Default Dreamscene? Think again.

Hey everyone, my favorite eye candy in Vista was Dreamscene. Well, after months of troubleshooting my delayed start up time and Sandbox2 locking up (forcing force reboot), I found the cause. I've just reinstalled Windows and since it was booting quick and all, I thought that I should start troubleshooting by not installing Dreamscene. Well, I was able to play on the Editor for an half hour without a single crash, without an error, my PC boots so quickly now. Well, it's sad that I have to let Hellscene go because it did really look good, I know about the VLC player background thing, but I mean Dreamscene was very user friendly and didn't require any tweaking. Well, just to let you guys know, if you experience any of these symptoms:
-Crysis locking up
-Sandbox editor locking up
-Really long boot time (what I mean by that is that you logon properly, but it takes an extra 30 seconds for your desktop to become usable)

The reason I stopped using it was actually just to improve my boot time and memory usage. It's a great feature, but you can't guarantee that it will work with everything.
