Hi,
                       I tried to run the gif file as wall paper and it shows it as mere picture. But if i open that with internet explorer, then it gives animation.
                            When i could play the gif files in my previous xp version, i could not find ways to do the same in higher windows 7 ultimate.
                                       Probably MSFT would have disabled some features of xp in windows 7. Would you share the trick so that i could also get it play animation in wallpaper or as scr

Samson:
You need software that will do that....."it's impossible to do this without extra software. Windows doesn't support animated GIFs as background images, so although you can select one and set it as your wallpaper, it will appear as a static image: effectively the first frame of the animation."

jraju:
Hi, But in xp, i could just select gif as wall paper. Do you know free programs to do this. I do not just want to open it. I want it used as wall paper or screen saver pl

Samson:
Feature was disabled in Win 7 I think?

jraju:
