Hi. Does anyone know if it's possible to use a background that would essentially turn my computer monitor into a mirror? Scanning a mirror doesn't work.

Love the idea of scanning a mirror!!

the best reflection you will get is with a plain black background, but even then it will not be like a mirror!

Have you considered a webcam?
Why would you want a monitor mirror? Just buy a large mirror instead.
They already have one daffy, they tried to scan it :)

Ah,but they may have tried to scan a small mirror and then tile it to make the background Chuck....bet you didn't think of that eh? ;-)
Do not scan a mirror. Light can blow up. Look at the effect when putting a mirror in front of another mirror....it's a tunnel to infinity.

Scary!

I think I will have to go down the webcam road. It will probably work If I put it full screen.

Easy - take a photograph of a mirror, then make it your desktop!
BAKING FOIL!

cover screen with it, make sure its flat or itll look silly.

when running a program, cut a hole it the foil the same size as the window
"It will probably work If I put it full screen. "

er, a mirror is a mirror BECAUSE it's a mirror. It's all to do with the surface of it, what's underneath etc etc. I've got a picture of a decent motor, but can I drive it - no.

Do you use Tippex to correct mistakes when sending emails?
Dummy, he uses a rubber!!
They phased the tippex correction out with windows 2000 Androcles, you just need a normal eraser for later versions :)
You can all take the wee wee, but I think it would be a great idea, if it were possible.
