| | Flash/Animated wallpaper. Hi... I like to have Animated/flash wallpapers, in Windows XP i could do that with some tools/programs, but now with windows vista, i just can't get this to work. I tried several programs, but none of them worked. Is it possible to use flash wallpapers in windows vista? and if so, how to do it. Thanks, Kenny |

The feature that let you do this in XP is called "Active Desktop" and since it is a security hole that allows malware to run, it was purposely removed in Vista.
