You might be able to do it by embedding the video file into a webpage, then using the active desktop option found somewhere in desktop properties (I dont use ME so I dont know the correct path) to display this page as your desktop - or on it, at least, fullscreen video would probably be suicide if not unworkable... in windowed mode, it might work.

BUT

I have to say that that it would probably be a really really bad idea though... especially if your using ME.
I wouldnt try it with anything less than XP.. If I wanted my PC to wig out, that is ;)

In my experience, I've found that using the active desktop in any Windows 9.X OS (Win98-ME) usually makes the PC unstable and needlessly chews up a bunch of system resources. Constantly having a video running would just compound the problems you will see emerging.

If you do it, you can expect your PC to crash a heck of a lot, if it works at all. :lol:
