Hi all,

Is it possible to make a slideshow of wallpaper .jpgs or even play a video clip as a background for wallpaper in XP Pro? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

There is probably some downloadable software on the internet that does that, but watch out: 90% of it will contain spyware.

Thinking outside the box......you could just create a simple html page and embed a video clip and then set the html page as the background. I used to set html pages as my background for various other tricks. As far as a a slide show you could use the several free "myspace" slide shows to put on this html page you create.
