I decided to give this a try to see if the publisher had changed it's way to make these animated wallpaper auto start with Windows. I am happy to say that they have. This sits in your start menu waiting for you to click on it. After start up, it places an icon in your task bar. From there you can change the options or exit out of the program. So how does the image look? It's actually a fairly decent wallpaper image. You get some ripple type movement in the water in the foreground with some birds in the background. I would not want it to run full time but it's definitely worth the download to me for the change of pace it provides. Thank you GOTD team and AnimatedWallpaper7.com.

"Paradise Mountain" installed quickly and without a hitch on my system and causes no perceptible slowdown in performance. Based primarily on photographic art, this animated wallpaper provides exactly what it promises, a relaxing and attractive animated background on the screen. The program's controls permit the user to start the wallpaper on Windows startup but by default this software waits for the user to manually start it, a very polite behavior for such programs.

Not everyone will want animated wallpaper -- it's almost certain all of the downvotes on GOTD really just mean "No, thank you" -- but if you're interested in an aesthetically pleasing background on your screen, this is a good choice.

Thanks, AW7, and thanks GOTD!

Has made the desktop icon names go all fuzzy and almost unreadable. Deleted immediately

I love natural mountain scenery. So, as my first foray into animated wallpaper use since the '90s I decided to try Paradise Mountain Animated Wallpaper. Sadly, I found it neither attractive nor relaxing.

I have a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 i.e. nothing unusual. The default 'stretched' option gave the wallpaper the appearance of being distorted and low resolution. When I deselected this option, the wallpaper filled only the right half of my screen. I was also underwhelmed by the crudely drawn flying birds and the streaky rays of sunlight that cover the entire image.

So, back to using a high quality photograph of mountain scenery on my desktop instead.

On the upside, installation and uninstallation on XP SP3 was smooth and quick. Revo Uninstaller's advanced setting found nothing left by the developer. Thank you GOTD and AnimatedWallpaper but this product is not for me.

@2 Hey Bill, just an FYI: animated wallpapers are not causing your problem. You have one or more of the following: 1) an older, slower processor, 2) a poor-performing graphics card, 3) not enough RAM. Bill, you need a computer upgrade.
