Help with background pic

:mad: For no apparant reason my laptop has started to show all background images HUGE. I've been through all the obvious stuff and cannot see how to have it display the pic either to screen size or actual size.

even tiny tiles are being resized to fill the screen with one tile.

Idiot proof instructions please.

I'm on vista if that makes any difference and have recently installed picassa photo viewer (but that was yesterday and it was fine when I started up this morning) :(

    Right click on an empty part of the desktop and click on personalize. Click on Desktop Background. That should bring up the screen where you can choose which picture to use.

    At the bottom of the screen are buttons for how to display it. Select whichever one you want and it should be OK then.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
