If it is your own image, have you tried a different image of your own or is it just one particular image? Can you center one of the built in XP backgrounds? Have you tried several of the XP backgrounds to see if it is one image or all images? Is there and XP background that will not center, which one is it? What happens if you try some of the other options, like Tile, Stretch, etc. Jose |

Centering Desktop Background
I try both a built in background and one of my own. In the Display image in
control panel I can stretch and center image. When I hit apply, nothing happens. Also, many of the images in "MY Pictures" are showing up as selections I can make for the background. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jose" Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2009 8:37 AM Subject: Centering Desktop Background On May 20, 8:18 pm, "Lon" wrote: When I use the centering command, nothing happens."Alan Edwards" wrote in message ...

So, is your problem is that you can't center built in XP backgrounds but you can center your own pictures as backgrounds? Certain malware can be the cause, so do this first: Download, install, update and do a full scan with these three free malware detection programs: Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/ SUPERAntiSpywa (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/ AVG (AVG): http://free.avg.com/ Jose |
