In the DisplayFusion Settings > Advanced Settings window, enable the "Allow All Sources in All Versions of Windows" option, save the settings, then restart DisplayFusion. After that you should be able to use the My Videos source in Windows 7 again :) ]]> RE: I would like to re visit an old topic: Animated GIF wallpaper support. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/i-would-like-to-re-visit-an-old-topic-animated-gif-wallpaper-support/?ID=49446ec0-8203-4969-be0c-67d293a4267e#38 Fri, 03 Nov 2017 02:15:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/i-would-like-to-re-visit-an-old-topic-animated-gif-wallpaper-support/?ID=49446ec0-8203-4969-be0c-67d293a4267e#38 DisplayFusion

Ok, thanks for trying that! We've got a few issues to work out with the video wallpaper in Windows 7, so I'll post an update as soon as we've gotten those fixed up and we'll continue testing from there.

Thanks!


Hi! Any update on getting this working in Windows 7? I saw in an earlier comment that it would only work on one monitor, which, ironically, is all I need it to work on, but it looks like the update nixed that and now I must have Win 8+.

Thanks! ]]> RE: I would like to re visit an old topic: Animated GIF wallpaper support. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/i-would-like-to-re-visit-an-old-topic-animated-gif-wallpaper-support/?ID=49446ec0-8203-4969-be0c-67d293a4267e#37 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 17:57:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/i-would-like-to-re-visit-an-old-topic-animated-gif-wallpaper-support/?ID=49446ec0-8203-4969-be0c-67d293a4267e#37 DisplayFusion Thanks! That's unfortunately a known bug, but still on our list to fix up. We'll be sure to let you know when that's all sorted out.

I think Direct X was the culprit.
