Desktop animated background

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.

I've had (actually got rid of them last week) 2 computers with dual core and AGP with Vista Ultimate. Both worked flawlessly and had done since Vista RTM was available.

I'm pretty sure when I had vista Beta2 I had it running on an AMD X2 3800+ with an AGP X800XT PE without problem - but maybe it was my 3700+

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

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

I can't get it to work as a wallpaper, it just stays as my normal one?

was cause i didnt have the "show desktop icons" selected on desktop.

right click on desktop > "Arrange Icons By" > "Show Desktop Items" make sure its ticked and it should work

other then that make sure that directx drivers and gfx drivers are up to date as these have also been known to cause problems

I am on Vista, you don't get the same options on it, but either way I have my desktop icons showing.
