Even on an older PC dreams should run fine , don't know what what your PC make  up is but

try this " sfc " scan to check your PC that might could help.

Please try the following:

-For Win8/10 Users: Open the Start Screen, and type 'cmd'. Right-click on the search result and select 'Run as administrator' from below.
For Win7 Users: click Start, in the start search field type 'cmd'. Right-click on the search result and select 'Run as administrator'.
-Type: sfc /scannow
-Wait for the scan to complete (this can take several minutes)

In addition, please also run the following command in the same elevated (Run as Admin) command prompt window:

dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

The above command should assist with replacing any damaged or problematic system files. Please note, however, since it may require restoring certain files, this process can take some time and you will need to be patient until it has completed.

Please let me know whether this resolves your problem or if you have any additional questions.

I've already done the sfc scan two days ago. Here is my system info

What version of Win 10 - type in run -  winver

I would upgrade these 2 things for better Dream performance , more ram would help too.

1 - Codecs https://codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_mega.htm

2 -  Lav http://www.free-codecs.com/download/lav_filters.htm

The 8 gigs of ram is the max my laptop can take. 

I downloaded both files. The K-Lite codec pack has the same LAV filters, 0.73.1, as the ones from free codecs.com. Should I install them anyway or is the first one enough.

Yes both

It only takes one bad codec to mess with your dreams 

load both should update your codecs see then if your

dreams run better ,, always REBOOT after adding these files.

Installed the codecs, both sets, then ran the same dream. It ran well for a time then started skipping again. This process repeated again and again. Run well for a bit then skip. I gave it a try but decided not to go with deskscapes because it keeps, literally, keeps my cpu pegged at 100%. It normally runs at 20%. Sorry about the nuisance. 

Try one more thing for Deskscapes and try one of the newer dreams 

Would you Please try a Clean Boot: https://forums.stardock.com/485954/deskscapes-support-faq#cleanboot
