Can't Change View of Wallpaper in Vista 64 bit HP..

As the title implies I can't change my Wallpaper view as I normally could at one time.

Wondering if this has to do with Administrator Privileges or what?

This no Longer functions::



I can only use Full screen View not Tile or Center View.

Yes I Googled this, no luck.

Anyone Have a Clue?? How to FIX!!??

Thanks in Advance!!

If this is in the wrong section sorry about that, but it seemed right to me??

Hi Blue, and Welcome aboard!! All you have to do is set one image to open with MS

Paint in your MS Wallpaper folder, now all your Images will open as tiled or Centered

as you wanted!! Man it took me a wee bit of Time to figure this ODD bug out, but I

did!!

Also all your Images will still open with PAINT.net which I know you use and Love!!

Here's a Link for the Best Free Image App out there fully Compatible with Vista as

well!!

PAINT.net :: |MG| Paint.NET 3.36 Final

Have fun and Glad I could Help!!

I owe some credit to Honestjohn as well, he pointed me in the right Direction, another rep point for him!!

Thanks HJ!! and Shawn!!

(obviously I solved this issue on my own with my Bud HJ and Shawn)

But wanted to make sure folks Know how to fix this Issue should it come up

with their PC...

One last note the images it seems have to be less that the size of your Desktop

REZ, ok...
