Only recently I noticed jaggedness on my wallpaper..



and before I never had this problem, I could stretch the image to any resolution and it would still look the same like below

what is the size of the picture?
It looks like the second screen is centered, and the first one is streched.

that's because the top one is cropped, the bottom one is not (note the taskbar at the bottom of the second one)

Try changing the display mode to centered and then back to stretched.

Alternately, and probably better in the long run, is resize the image to 1024x768.
So as through a glass, and darkly

Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Thanx for the help but I wasn't looking for that sort of solution, the problem didn't exist before so I think its a display issue within WinXP or the Graphics Driver, I just thought someone may have experienced this problem before

You may have accidentally enabled some web-desktop thing, which I know has caused problems for colour depth and quality of my background before - but that was back in the '98 days.

Some web desktop features are still enabled in XP so thanx to Setekh and everyone else for helping :D. All I did was uncheck the 'Lock desktop items' CheckBox

That pic is from the MG anim, it's going to get more or less redone at some point. But if you'd like, I can make you a special beefed up version :D
