Animated backgrounds?

[Guest]

Im still trying to figure out where the upgrade was from XP to vista (didnt
have a choice on my new computer to get xp) Also, how do I set animated
desktops, and is ultimate required for that?

Vista Ultimate is required (and the DreamScene Preview installed) in
order to use movie files as background on the desktop.

I dont even mean movie files, but gifs and other formats as well? No plugins
for this?

Hello,

that feature, called ActiveDesktop, doesn't exist in Vista.
You could try the following program:

I can't tell if it really works.

Hope this helps.
