Windows 7 desktop

[expat]

I have a new lappy with Window 7 and I have a small desktop problem. I have a picture on my other Vista lappy that I transferred over. I set the picture to the same setting that I had on the other lappy, but with Windows 7 it is not quite working. On Vista I had the picture centered with a black desktop background colour. The picture then appeared to have a three inch black boarder. With W7, no matter what I do the picture zooms to full screen even though I have centered selected. The picture is around 250kb and the zoom effect is ripping it up. Any one got any ideas??

Thanks

Try choosing black for your background. Then open the picture in an editor and change the canvass size to your screen size, with black background. But jic, save it under a different name, keeping the original.

That is exactly what I had done, but no matter how I resized the picture, it is still zooming :-/

That's weird. Sorry, I can't think of anything else right now, but I'll take a look and see if I can figure it out.

Wouldn't the black background have to be the size of the screen.. and the actual picture be smaller so the boarder shows around it

have you tried that?

You have to change your screen resolution, right click on your desk top and go to screen resolution and try raising or lowering the resolution and that still might not work, then try re-sizing the pic to 1024X768 and raising your screen resolution to something bigger and then the pic should sit in the center.....
