Instructions:
for those of you newbies first dl Takecontrol from here [link] so you won't have to go trough all the steps of clicking a billion times simply to rename the files then
Download the patched DreamScene files as above and unpack to a folder.
Copy " DreamScene.dll to %WinDir%\System32\ " folder.
