If you are using Windows 7 and missing Windows Vista's DreamScene feature which allows you to set a video as Desktop background, here is something interesting for you.
AskVG reader "Gromas" has created a small tool which can bring back Vista's DreamScene feature to Windows 7. You just need to run this tool and it'll automatically install the DreamScene feature in Windows 7.
This tool is available in 2 languages: English and Portuguese. When you run it, it checks the Windows language in registry. If Portuguese (PT-PT) language is found, it installs the Portuguese version. If it finds any other language, the default English (EN-US) version is installed.
Once installed, you can set your desired video as Desktop background by right-clicking on the video file and selecting "Set as Desktop Background" option.
The tool also comes with an uninstaller, so that you can remove it later.
Thanks again to "Gromas" for creating this tool and sharing exclusively with AskVG readers only...

If DreamScene was a part of Ultimate extras, does that mean that it is only available in Windows Vista Ultimate?
Gromas
Yes.
"Windows Ultimate Extras covers the exclusive downloads and services that are available only to owners of Windows Vista Ultimate edition"

You also have this info at microsoft.com
But remember, this version we are talking here it's to enable DreamScene on Windows 7 because Microsoft didn't added this feature to Windows Seven.

Thanks for the info. Going to try it on Windows 7 HB on VirtualBox!
Gromas
You're welcome! :)
Just remember, running Windows 7 HB (or any other O.S.) in virtual mode may slow down your computer. And also using the DreamScene feature in a virtualized O.S. may also slow down the O.S. virtualized and/or the main O.S..
But feel free to try it and use it :)

Is there any possible way to get dreamscene feature in Windows XP?
Or can I run a .gif animated wallpaper as the desktop back ground in XP?
