when someone here post a pic (like the upside down vols pic scott posted) i saved it to picture folder.i want to make it a desktop background,but it wont fill the screen.i went to paint and can zoom to fill the screen,but that makes it burry.i have been wanting to do before,but got the same results.am i missing something or do i need to use a third party program?this is no big deal,just wanting to learn. this is a dell inspiron 1501- basic with sp1 laptop (that should read vista basic w/sp1)

lmao

@Mike,

Think Scott means Office Picture Manager program.

I'm just pulling images from different websites with html code so what background are you looking for ??

Mike,

I can do it in XP so think you can do it in Vista.

Left click Scott's picture and save to desktop.

Go to screen desktop properties and browse for background picture file saved on desktop.

Set as background by stretching the image.

It does alright on a wide screen. Not much blur at the size he posted.

Kindest Regards,

rick,the only option to stretch is in paint,and i dont like the result. it isn't a big deal,i just thought it was something simple i was doing wrong.it may be the fact that this is just a basic verson of vista.thanks for your and scotts help.you may now go back to helping members with real programs.lol
