I have a 20x20px background image that I want to repeat to fill the entire screen.

I have tried using the following:

background: #000000 url(images/bg.gif) repeat-x repeat-y;

This does not work, it only repeats on the X axis.

Could someone please advise what is the correct syntax that I should be using.

Thank you

Well I just got a 2WIRE wireless adapter for my router and the 'FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD' window won't pop up. I tried to go to my control panel to add the hardware manually, that's when I noticed I couldn't do squat on my control panel. Whenever I Try I get a window that says. "Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe , I don't know what to do. I don't have the disc that came with the computer. For now my biggest concern is that, but if you guys could tell me how else i can bring up the 'found new hardware wizard' window. I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!!

My computer has got a very nasty worm. I've decided that I want to COMPLETELY wipe the hard drive clean and replace Windows with Ubuntu. How do I get EVERYTHING off the hard drive so that I can start over again with Ubuntu.

they dont pop when the 5.1 system isnt plugged into the computer, and when it does pop the lights flicker at the same time. is this a power surge? i recently had to replace my power supply so im thinking this is a possibility. when my power supply did blow it was already hooked up to a voltage regulator. is a regular surge protector better? what can i do to stop/prevent this?

I installed a legal copy of Windows XP Home on my dad's computer (a 4 gig hard drive) and that drive is faltering, I want to put a new drive in my dad's machine and get rid of the old one. Will I be able to re-install windows on the new drive from the disk, is there something I have to do before I strike the old drive?

Everytime I go on Whyville.net and go into a room my computer shuts down, could there be a reason for this? Is there any way to fix this or prevent this from happening?

i dont have a router, so dont waste my time telling me i need one. im not allowed to get a router because all the computers
& my laptop are hooked up to this one thing in my dads office and if i got a router, it would go there, which means all the computers would get wireless, but only my laptop would benifit from it, the other computers are regular not laptops so the wireless would be no use. if theres another option, let me know. ALSO THE PROBLEM IS:

i wanna connect to a network. most are secured, but if one isnt, how do i connect to it? IT NEVER WORKS. i try, but it doesnt work. I WANT INTERNET WHEN I DONT HAVE IT PLUGGED IN! pppleeeassee help! thanks

The mobo is an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe. I just recently started placing the unit into Standby. Everything appears to shut down (Fans, lights etc) and the power light would start to flash. Usually I can press the power button on the front of the case and within seconds, the unit is back to my Windows Desktop. On this day, it didn't do it. I pressed the power button serveral times with no success. I then unplugge the computer from power and let it sit for a few minutes... plugged the unit back in and nothing. Absolutely nothing occurs. I've checked wire connections, plugs, cards, making sure they are all tight and properly installed. There is a green LED on the mobo that lights when the unit's power plug is attached to power. I've removed all cards, other external devices, pretty much everything to see if a hardware device was causing the issue and still nothing. How can I trouble shoot this or are there any suggestions on what I could do to get this unit back up and running? Thanks.

Recently, I went to print something and couldn't (I have 2 printers listed on the MacBooks hardware). I wound up trying to delete them both and then reinstall them but that didn't work. I keep getting a message when I start up the computer that I haven't completed the transaction...but it wouldn't let me complete it!
