Things have changed with vista, I have loaded some desktop background photos/images. They fill the screen and are blurry. With my older cp there was a certain size worked and I cannot find that info on this cp. Can someone give me some info on how place a desktop scene that is not blurry. Thanks""

I'm not too sure what your trying to do but any single image you are trying to use 
as a desktop wallpaper should be close to the same resolution as your desktop setting.
If you desktop resolution is set to 1280x1024 then any wallpaper you use should be 
close to that resolution or higher.
Smaller pics will have a tendency to get blurry and pixelized.
It works the same in XP and Vista.

Save the picture before you make it your desktop
