Computer help. Increasing the size of the screen saver
« on: January 20, 2009, 08:06:14 PM »
The last two screen savers have been 3 x 4's. Can I blow them up to full screen size. Any ideas?

Do you mean your wallpaper/background? That can be changed by right clicking on your desktop and going to display properties. Tell it under wallpaper that you want to stretch the image. That will make it fill the screen.

If you've got vista, looks like you choose "personalise" when you right click on the desktop, then it brings you to choices. Click on whatever it is you want to change! :)

Does that help?? Disregard if I've totally misunderstood!

I've been thinking along the same lines. If the image is 3 x 4 inches when set at 100%, the quality may be visibly worse when stretched to fill the screen. In general the more pixels the better, and the nearer your screen resolution the better also.

True enough, but you pretty much expect that with digital photos these days.... Sometimes it works ok.

Thank you. I was able to follow your instrustions and it worked.

How long will it be and is it possible that spell check will allow OBAMA to be used without correction?
