James,
Desktop Dreamscapes is designed not to interfere with or slow down your normal use of your computer. It runs as an idle process, using only CPU time that would otherwise be wasted. It also monitors and releases video resources when another application or game needs use of the video card.
What is most anoying, is the irratic mouse pointer I get. It's like it skips every second pixel, instead of moving smothly across the screen. Also, when I move open windows around, it leaves traces, and studders. When I use programs like AutoCad and Photoshop I need a pointer that doesn't jiggle.
Call me perfectionist, but I don't wan't my system to suffer in performance, when I have programs running in the background.
-"Interfere, and get uninstalled really fast!"
Maybe it's just my grafx card, but I tried different settings on it without any improvement. So soon I will unistall it for the second time. hehe
