I'm not really here Started conversation Oct 30, 2003
I've tried to use one of these, but if I tile it it doesn't look as good,and if I centre it, it gets all stretched to fill my screen. What's going on?

I have good news and bad news on that front.
The good news is, my PC used to do that too.
The bad news is, I can't remember how I made it stop doing that.

I have an idea...
Take four of the pictures.
Stick them on paint in a square.
And put *that* as your background, with all four of them. It may even have to be squeezed down a bit.
On my computer, WIndows Xp, there's the drop down with "Stretch", "Center", and "tile"
tile makes lots of them, until the cover the whole screen...

Handbag, schmambag I'm not a novice, I do check these things. 
EV, that's useless. Amy, that's a lovely thought! I like a bit of virtual violence. ALthough is that a trick question because ant's don't have arms? *looks suspicios*
It works just fine on my home pc, when I get back to work I'll have to check to see what the dimensions actually are.
