Thanks for the link, but the image is too small for my desktop.

I use 1280x1024, and the image is for 1024x768.

Ah, here we go: Screenshots of my dual monitor configuration. I won't post them here, as they are seriously huge - but I'll link to them.

Image 1 - iTunes and Mozilla in use at the same time, each on a seperate monitor.

Image 2 - All programs minimized with the desktops on both monitors showing.

I haven't got any idea?
Just wondering.

In that case, convert it to PNG format, and stretch it to the size of your monitor resolution.

In most cases, the images are stored off-site, but the link used to display them, is placed in the message when it is edited.

Didn't have to. :)

I right-clicked Save As Wallpaper, and XP apparently resized it with very little noticable distortion.

What's that? Windows did something RIGHT??? :shock:

Then maybe this isn't the time to tell you that SuSE did the same thing, resized it automatically to 1280x1024.

Just an auto-stretch feature, are you guys all right?
Otherwise, use Netscape to view that image, and context click and choose set as wallpaper.

Well the only off site I have is Geocities Yahoo! and I know that I can't use that. So what other options do I have?

The best thing to do is just ask someone who has some webspace to upload them for you. I could upload them for you, if you like.
