I have done some googling but havent really found what I wanted so next step is here!

I remembered back in the day I was wowed by having rubbish quality animated jpegs as a desktop background and ofcourse since then my puter has got a lot more powerful. Also I enjoy winamps milkdrop plugin that can do a desktop background animation mode. Then I remembered that videolan also has a desktop overlay mode for making films your backgorund. So the next step was I was wondering if there was a decent repeatable video somewhere of waves ona beach or a water drop or something tranquil like that which I could use as a background when my pc is idling? A nice loopable high quality video to make people go "oooo"
 
lol. theres a major bug in vista when using dual core cpus with agp graphics. It either wont install the graphics card or you have to uninstall a cpu core. Beleive me if there was a solution I would be on vista. Its not about the computer speed its about the bugs.
 
That is just what I was looking for :p thanks mate! specially the lake with the waves, thas nice. Gotta find a way for the track change / repeat not to jutter and to stop vlc crashing after a dozen repeats :p
 
pointless faff, just creates problems where there shouldn't be any

btw, they're gif files, no such thing as animated jpeg (not trying to belittle)

yeah noticed that after I wrote it. but didnt think anyone would be picky enough to point it out :p
 
might try to reinstall vista this evening. had a shed load of uni work this weeka nd havent had a chance to stop. Will let people know how it goes
