201191	2003-12-17 04:43:00	I seem to be losing my desk top background picture.There is now a 20mm gap between the side of the screen and the picture.Is there a fix for this ie.something in settings somewhere? and if not should I be concerned that it is a problem with the monitor.I have a virtually new LCD monitor.Changing the picture did not fix the problem.All ideas/fixes most welcome. Thanks DD.	dumdum (4965)

If so, you will need to look at the settings for your new LCD monitor - it probably hasn't had the settings adjusted. Have a look at your LCD monitor for how to adjust the horizontal and vertical postion/size. Some monitors will have an Automatic adjustment button on the monitor that will do this for you. Also have a look at what resolution you have your desktop set on. Right-click on the desktop > Properties > Settings tab.	Jen C (20)

This will depend on your version of Windows, but its likely your new monitor is simply higher resolution than the picture. The stretch setting resises the picture to fit automatically. Make sure you run the monitor at its "native" resolution, or the display will be less than optimum sharpness.	godfather (25)

Cheers for that, DD	dumdum (4965)
