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

Hi Cooper

Yes, you must be running Windows Vista Ultimate, and you must downloa
this Ultimate Extra. It is called "DreamScene". This will explain ho
to use DreamScene

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.
