Is there anyway to download animated wallpapers on desktop?

Question

is there anyway to download animated wallpapers on desktop (not screensaver) does the animated picture really works on desktop

Answer 1

WIndows Vista Ultimate has this program called Dreamscape that allows you to use any video as your desktop background.  Some websites allow you to download animated desktop backgrounds  for free as part of a free trial.

Answer 2

Running an animated background eats resources - which Vista doesn't leave you too many of to begin with.  (You can't do it in XP, only in Vista.)

Answer 3

in my experience no because a wallpaper is exactly that a bitmap or image. i have tried using animated gifs before. and no cigar mate!!
