Desktop background ?
I have a problem that just appeared out of the blue and has me totally
confused. For some reason, the last few days my desktop background has been stretching every image I have used previously - even those that are less than the regular 800x600 resolution. Note that they appear in the preview screen correctly, as in the correct size with space around, but now ALL are stretched to take up the entire screen. Also, I thought there were three options on the background display ... tile, center, and stretch. Now there is no stretch radio button. Those previous images (BMP's) that I set to leave room around the perimeter so my icons fit there are now stretched to the extent they are distorted. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on and how I might get this back to how it was justa few days ago? I use a number of malware/spyware/etc programs as well as 2 different scanners. I get no reported problems running Sandra. I'm stumped. |

Have you been playing with TweakUI?
If so, turn in Shell Enhancements again. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.html On Thu, 13 Oct 2005 00:54:21 GMT, Cathy wrote: I have a problem that just appeared out of the blue and has me totally confused.

I have TweakUI, Alan, but haven't been playing with it - I have it set the
way I want a long time. I don't remember seeing Shell enhancements in there. I'll have to take a look....... Alan Edwards wrote in : Have you been playing with TweakUI?
