But it didn't occur before I upgraded to 1.01 and installed the Earth dream. It used to just show the animated dream straight away (but paused) until the system had booted at which point the animation began. Who knows, it may be a problem with the Dreamscene Ultimate Extra from Microsoft... it is in beta after all
When you boot up or shutdown your PC, before the new Earth dream loads and right after it is unloaded, you can see a static image of the previous dream you had selected before installing the new Earth dream. This is either down to a faulty earth dream, or a faulty deskscapes product. It's almost like the running of the Earth dream is totally different to the running of regular animated video dreams and the new earth-type dreams just sit on top of the previous method.
