How do I set a video as my computer background?

This is an interesting question, and I don't have a definitive answer, but this information may help. I assume you have Windows and by background you mean your desktop background.  \n\nTo display a video on your desktop you would need Active Desktop which is an add-on to Internet Explorer. I'm not sure if it available for version 6.x, but there is more information available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q165695/#appliesto\n\nIf you right-click on your desktop, look for "Active Desktop" in the context menu. If you see it, select it. The right-click on the desktop again, choose Properties, then Settings (I believe, I don't have this available on my pc right now) ... find the tab that contains the settings for Active Desktop.\n\nI believe you will have to provide a URL pointing (presumably) to a web site that plays or contains a video of some sort. I believe that whatever is displayed on the web page will be displayed on your desktop. You can resize the frame of the active desktop window to suit your requirements.\n\nOne example of what you're asking about would be a web page that displays live webcam images, of traffic for example.\n\n ... another alternative (depending on what you're looking for) is simply to play a video in full-screen mode using Windows Media Player, Winamp, etc. and Alt-Tab to a running application in the foreground ...\n\nHope this helps.

just put your cursor over an Yahoo! icon and click the right button on your mouse and a menu comes up the point to 'Set as Background'.

Its possible on all of them....but be warned...to play an animation or a video will GREATLY suck your RAM and processor speed and cause normal programs and web surfing to lag majorly.\n\nright click your desktop and choose "properties" then choose tab "desktop".  at the bottom you'll see a button for "customize desktop", click that and a new window opens.  on the new window click the tab "web".  you should recognize this from 98.\n\nyou can make it a page or item from computer, doesn't have to be from the actual web.

I can't think of any programs that will do this automatically, but a good work around is to download VLC Media Player.  VLC has an option that lets you take image captures at any point while playing the video.

You dont need a special wallpaper to put a pic up as your background! Do a search with the images tab in your browser and copy the pic to your PC somewhere. Right click on the pic and set as background!
