How to Set Screensavers as Wallpapers in XP



Windows Vista has a feature called Dreamscene which allows you to set any video as your wallpaper . Unfortunately Dreamscene is not available for XP users . But there are plenty of ways you can do it in XP too . Not so long ago i wrote a post explaining how the same can be achieved using VLC player . This time we are going to use an Open Source Software .

VdConfig.exe

Vital Desktop is an open source software which does the same thing but with screen savers . The best thing about this is that it doesnt slow down your system . After downloading the software , just enable it through the Right click menu on the desktop . After that , select the screensaver by opening the config file , tha path is “ c:Program FilesVitalDesktopVDConfig.exe “ or where ever you may have installed . You will get a menu as shown above . Just select the screensaver you like and click apply . The job is done .

My Desktop

Take a look at my desktop above by having a screensaver . I am sorry for not being able to upload a video as i get very low speed at college .
