Wallpaper won't fill screen
Hello!
Would anyone know why photos larger than my screen resolution will not cover the entire screen as wallpaper? I end up with about a half inch of space at the top when placed on centered. When tiled it get a repeat of the picture on the bottom half of the screen. I've even tried using the jpgs right out of my camera at 2288 x 1712 and even though my screen resolution is 1280 x 1024, I still get this space at the top. Any ideas what I need to do to correct this? Thanks a bunch! Verna |

Hi Verna:
The aspect ratio of your monitor is 5:4 whereas the aspect ratio of your jpeg is 4:3. Earl Grey Verna Walker wrote: Hello!

Hi Earl,
Thanks for the info! I created a jpg 1280 x 1024, shouldn't that fill the screen? I'm still having the same problem. hummm? Verna "Earl Grey" wrote in message ...

Hi Verna:
If you are running your monitor at 1280 X 1024 then a jpeg of 1280 X 1024 will fill the screen. Earl Grey Verna Walker wrote: Hi Earl, Thanks for the info!

Just a thought, is the display of your monitor centered? If
you've fiddled with the resolution settings quite a bit, sometimes you need to reposition and size the display in the monitor itself. HTH Chet "Earl Grey" wrote in message ...
