Desktop Background Picture
I am trying to put a family picture on my desktop background. When I set up as "centered" it clips off the edges. losing most of the picture. If I use "stretch", it looks terrible. When I use "tiled" it only shows a small part of the picture on the desktop.
How can I set the background picture so I can see all of it on my desktop? Using Windows XP, SP 2. Thanks.

What screen resolution are you using, and what are the pixel dimensions of the picture?

I do not have. But I am wondering what difference it makes? Shouldn't Windows take any picture and center it?

Right click on the file, choose Properties, and look on the Summary tab.
