Do you mean an animated wallpaper running on the desktop? If so, there is three alternatives (only one of which is theoretically applicable to XP, heared, but not tried)
1. If it is Win 7 ultimate, you me have Dreamscene as an windows update, its free.
2. You may get Stardock deskscape (a paid software), that also does it.
3. Use vlc media player and follow the tutorial : Have a Video Wallpaper as Desktop Background
There is also the tutorial here at Seven Forums, at the link below.
DreamScene - Install in Windows 7 and Vista
thanks for your replies, they have been very helpfull i think its better with a movie file
what i meant was that i would set an animated picture as a desktop picture and it would animate with XP now i am with 7 ulitmate it does not animate when i add .gifs as wallpaper:/ but this is a very helpfull and good way around it thanks a lot
Rather I should be pleased to have friends like you and a roof like our forum to enhance my knowledge. I never thought that a little patch can make it possible, when paid software are sold for the same purpose. They are resource hungry, too. Still now I am astonished. I applied it on my home premium, and just voila! Then why seven ultimate, why dskscape, why a difficult process using vlc, feeling like I am drunk, man.
It's magic! I can say no more about it.
Thanks in advance to all,
I have a q! can we set a html/htm page as wallpaper in windows 7 like WinXP,
is the DreamScenes will support to enable the same
if any other idea are there plz disclose
