Outer reaches of insanity!!

Hello Kind and knowledgable folk,

I've had this irritating problem with my background for quite a while. It won't fill the screen completely. I've tried everything!!! I've noticed that when I change the res to a lower one (I'm currently using the full 1680*1050) and then reset it back - it goes back to normal - with the wallpaper completely filling up the screen - just like it used to back in the day but as soon I shutdown and start a new session - the position of the pics goes all funny again.

At first I thought it had something to do with the hi-res wallpapers but I set a doodle my little sister done on paint as the background and it still has the same issues. I wouldn't mind using a lower resolution but i'm my monitor is a 20 inch widescreen and anything lower than full res looks blurry and out of proportion. I would really appreciate it if anyone had any idea how to sort this out.

Monitor: HP w2007v

Firstly, can you please resize the image!

Then tell us what the properties of the original image is. We'll need to know the orginal size in pixels

Format: JPEG
Size: 785 kb
Image dimensions: 1600x1200

Your wallpaper image should be bigger or equal to the desktop resolution. In you case, >1650*1050.

Hope this helps,

Extensa
