Try opening the picture in Paint, and going to File Set As Background
(Centered). It's not stretched, but it's not tiled.
If that's not good enough, also try getting Mozilla Firefox, the internet
browser, if you don't already have it. (It owns Internet Explorer) Then find
your picture on the internet, then right-click it and select "Stretched" and
then "Set Desktop Background".
Hope I helped

I have received some very worthwhile advice from at least one of them.

The poster making that claim was not Leythos--who would never say such a
thing--but rather Patrick Butts, who thinks it's real mature to
impersonate people who post here.

To the OP: You may not have successfully removed the malware or, if you
have, the removal process may have damaged your computer. That's how
entrenched malware can be.

You may want to show your computer to a professional, but beore you do
try this: Download HijackThis from www.trendsecure.com. Run it, save a
log, and post the log at one of the many sites that support HJT, such as
spywarewarrior.com, bleepingcomputer.com, and http://aumha.net -- but
not here. Within a day you'll have step-by-step advice from an expert on
cleaning up any malware infestations.

Why does everyone else call that person "Chris"?

You must have missed several of my posts where I said I was changing my
posting name to Leythos. I am doing that to prove to everybody that you can
file 100's of complaints about that and nothing will happen. The name
Leythos is just a name. The stalker thinks he owns that name and that he is
the only one who can use it. Since the stalker already replies to every
post I make what difference does it make what name I use, you all can tell
the difference. I actually post good fixit advice he does not.

You say you are Leythos and then go on to say "do not trust advice from
,,,,.....Leythos"!!?
Nevertheless, you say you are and sign as "Leythos" and then go on to
quote "http://pcbutts1-therealtruth.blogspot.com/
" as YOUR website; and so the question is, who do YOU think you are?
