i did not think active backgrounds where possible on vista..i know on xp you can select a .gif animated picture and it animates on the desktop but they disabled the active desktop on vista and windows 7 because it was a security problem or something..

how do you put a video background?

personaly i try have as little icons as possible so the background i have its easy to see the names.


That's what I do as well. :wink:

I tried that when I installed vista for the first time, but I got dizzy after a few minutes looking at it. :?

Well i stopped using video backgrounds. Doesnt look nice on a 22 inch wide screen

But
