| Wallpaper resizing Hi. I've been running Vista now for over a year and ever since I made the switch, I've been annoyed, by how Vista deals with Wallpaper. I'm on using a widescreen monitor, with vista, it doesnt' resize the image to fit without stretching it. With XP, it would resize it while maintaining its proportions, but I can't seem to find a way to do that with vista. Any Help would be much appreciated      |

| RE: Wallpaper resizing Are you using the Vista wallpaper? If so they have wide screen versions. If not, you will need to edit the pictures to the wide screen size yourself. -- Paul "Chriseverything" wrote: > Hi.
