Didn't try that yet Cybercore. Will check that out shortly. Thanks.

Fantastic!!! It worked. Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooo much. It's a very small pic in the center of my screen, but it works.

WOW! This sounds good. I'll give it a try. I'm not sure I would have know where to look for stuff like this. Thanks.

Sets as background fine, but I still can't get it to change to center or tile or anything other than stretch. Thanks for trying.

Well, it looks better. But I still cannot get the setting to change to centered so the pic is smaller and with a solid border around it. Even tried to set it to tile just to see if it works. Can't do it. Very frustrating. Hubby and I have the same laptops, bought at the same store at the...

I see... yours is wider. Must have been a 'duh moment' for me. Thanks.

I saved it so I can give it a try. What's the diff between mine and yours?

I have it set to 1600 x 900. That's what is recommended by HP for this laptop with the 17" screen. I may have distorted the pic when I went from the square mouse pad to the rectangle for the pic. But I still cannot get the background to change to centered. It would have a broder around the...

Thanks Sarge. That was what I needed. Worked fine. Hubby doesn't need a fancy unzip program.

Thanks Cybercore. I've tried everysetting offered to no avail. I'll boot up the laptop and get that other info shortly.

Thanks Sarge. I have the WinZip also, but it's an older version. I'm still trying to figure out where the built in thing is. Why download something if there's something built in that will do the job.

Thanks Mike. I guess I should put the 'ultimate zip' on the laptop. That's what I have on the PC. But can you tell me who to find that built-in one?

Thanks Mike. Would you tell me how to find this info? I've never had to look for this before.

When I set my desktop background, I can only get it 'stretched'. I've tried changing it to centered, but it won't stay. I'm not new to computers, but I am new to Windows 7. I don't understand this. Thanks.
