great progress
i see that viz will not work and i believe that vb uses wmp as its engine
so maybe you could use a stand alone media player plugin for viz playback
such as gforce would be worth a try failing that put a personal or zany image
on the desktop that will show in between selections or if using windows 7
it does its own moving desktop images or maybe you guys have the know
how to create something smart for us to download
great work guys
