From what you describe it sounds like the image is larger than your desktop resolution? So, when you choose "center", it simply puts the entire big picture in the center of your screen - since the pic is bigger than your desktop, you can't see the edges of it. If you choose "stretch", the pic will be squished so that it fits your screen. The stretch function will either enlarge a small pic, or compress a big one, so that it will exactly fit your screen.
If squishing or enlarging distorts the pic too much, you can edit the pic file in a photo editor to make it smaller or larger. Hope that helps, Donk On 11/14/2010 11:29 AM, Tom M. wrote: > I am using WinXP. > > I select a picture for the desktop and opt to center it as opposed to stretch > or tile.
