Re: DreamScene and DreamScene Contrant Available Today

Problem solved -
My already mentioned ex-wife must have gone into the Windows Features
setting and TURNED OFF Dream Scene.
I assume she assumed it was part of the divorce settlement - it WASN'T.
I turned it on - did the update, d/l, install, reboot deal, and all is well.
The water fall is very nice, as is the one with the rolling ball bearing,
or whatever it is.

Next time I get married, I'm including Windows Features Settings in the
pre-nup.
Its the right thing to do
;-)
