desktop resolution

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have a fixtures list I am trying to use as background
for my desktop, but it appears (after stretched) as
blurred and unreadable. I got it from a desktops website
and tried it with the 768 x 1024 resolution size, what i
run on offered but is blurred. I even tried it with the
2 other sizes but still the same.

Any idea how i can fix it?, thanks

What happens if you center the image instead of stretching it?

Yeah i tried that and it is clear but the text is too
small to read. I cant understand it, maybe someone else
could try (no d'load involved, just right click and set
as background)

good news, easy solution
go to http://www.spymac.com/upload/gallery/f_8/user_84622/upload_224125.jpg
use this as your background instead of the one you linked to, which was a
preview, and therefore a bit smaller.
the one I linked to was actually 1024x768 in size.
the other was a bit smaller, which caused the problems.
hope this helps.
