I would like to have different images, information about the sales team, and any other stuff displayed on them. The PC and monitor bundle is only for displaying info for and about each team and is not used as a PC per se?. The 6 bundles represent the 6 sales teams I have and they each have a name, therefore, I would like for the team name to display every once in a while also. I already have some images of different NFL teams. I would like at least 2 graphics to display at a time and then maybe a nice inspirational quotation to flash on it and then the team name to flash on it in large letters and different colors and then the results for the hour from each sales team. What application can I use to get this done? Your assistance is appreciated.

I would recommend you building a presentation in Microsoft Powerpoint (get some attractive fonts from http://cooltext.com/ ) or make a Flash animation.

The best and safest way to get a clear 3D desktop in XP is to use a third party software, like the ones I mentioned in this tutorial. If you really want to "transform" your Windows XP into Vista-like (note that it's just a graphical interface addon) you can try a "Vista transformation pack" ; just search for that string on Google and you'll get plenty results. I sincerely don't recommend to do this, because it will just take up many system resources (RAM, video processing and CPU) without getting the actual Vista-like desktop. Microsoft's operating systems are designed to work "as they are" and trying to change fundamental parts of them (like graphical interface) can lead to system instability. Best regards, Michael D.
