Desktop Wallpaper?

Question

Hello. For some reason everytime I download a wallpaper onto my desktop, it comes up very small. How do I change the size to make it much more bigger?

I have windows 2000, i don't know if that makes a difference, but i right clicked and all i see after that is, background, screensaver, appearance, web, effects, and settings. i do not see a desktop tab.

Answer 1

You are probably downloading the thumbnail image and not the actual full sized image.

Before downloading the image: right-click it and check it's properties. If its says something like 1024x768 / 1600x1200 then you are getting the actual image ( this is good ). If you are getting weird property size numbers like 325x243 then you are downloading the thumbnail.

Answer 2

maybe the image that you have downloaded is smaller than your desktop resolution. simply right click on empty space on desktop, choose properties. it will bring up the display properties window.
1. you can decrease your screen resolution. go to setting tab, and move the slider to your preferred resolution.
2. or you can strecth the image. in the desktop tab, set "strecth" for pull down position option.

Answer 3

right click your desktop and go to properties, choose the desktop tab, choose your image and to the side there will be a pull down list called position, choose stretch from that cateagory and click ok. :)

Answer 4

Right-click on the desktop--select properties--desktop--then under the stretch pull down menu select stretch

Answer 5

When you try to set it as wallpaper, where it says "Position" in the lower right corner, have you tried, "Stretch"?
