Screen Saver Slide Show
Why do my screen saver slide show pictures show up as 3"X3" instead of
filling the screen. When I try to streach they get all blury. But if I make
the same picture my desktop picture it fits the full screen fine. I have had
other slide shows that display just fine and now every picture I download
will not fit. I even went to Google, Images, Large thinking the size of the
picture was the problem and they were still small. Help!!

============================
I guess you are running Windows XP?

Right click your desktop and choose...
Properties / ScreenSaver tab / Settings button.

Is the "How big should pictures be" slider
all the way to 100%?

If you right click your desktop and go to...
Properties / Settings tab...what is your
Screen Resolution?

Is the pixel size of your images equal to
or greater than your screen resolution?

Re: Screen Saver Slide Show
Thanks for your reply. I had those set correctly. I downloaded these
pictures from desktop downloads so I would presume the size of the pictures
would work for this application.
