After 10 months of Vista I've almost had enough but just a couple of final
questions before I jack it in altogether. My desktop background picture
remains the same size regardless of whether I choose fit to screen, tile or
centre. Anyone have any idea what's wrong here? Next, despite reading through
all the problems people are having with the screensaver, mine will not come
on automatically even though I have followed the instructions and
recommendations on here. I do not have a wireless mouse and never have. I'm
using Vista on a laptop and have nothing on it much apart from the bare
essentials as it's only used when I'm away from my desk. The only thing that
changes regularly is the Windows Updates which are done automatically.
Can anyone help once and for all? Thanks.

Regarding the desktop background could it be that the image you are
using is the same size as the resolution you have set for your display
or does it happen for all images ? The behaviour of those settings is
somewhat counter-intuitive.
