Active Desktop would probably be overkill if all you want is to have a nice wallpaper (I don't know, I never used it myself). Simply converting the image you want into a BMP file that Windows can handle should be less of a hassle
I thought it would be less of a hassle to let Windows do the conversion, instead of using some modern software where writing 9x-compatible files isn't straightforward.
I just did some experiments with 98SE, and:
- it does support GIF, JPEG, PNG
- when setting such a wallpaper for the first time, it displays that such formats are only supported with Active Desktop, and asks whether to enable Active Desktop
Now I'm lost - I always thought that Active Desktop is enabled by default.
But if not, then what's the reason Windows 98 is so much slower than 95 ?

Nie tylko, jak widzicie, w tym trudność, że nie zdołacie wejść na moją górę, lecz i w tym, że ja do was cały zejść nie mogę, gdyż schodząc, gubię po drodze to, co miałem donieść.
