  1. Desktop background stretches over 2 monitors?


    Hi, my desktop background is unintentionally stretching across both monitors:

    Adapt:



    Desktop background stretches over 2 monitors? 0_big.jpg



    Fill it in:



    Desktop background stretches over 2 monitors? 1_big.jpg



    Adjust, on another image:



    Desktop background stretches over 2 monitors? 2_big.jpg



    Stretching seems to work, but "stretches" just does:



    Desktop background stretches over 2 monitors? 3_big.jpg



    Fill in, should look like this:



    Desktop background stretches over 2 monitors? 4_big.jpg



    Why is windows 10 now standing in the way of this one picture? Are the dimensions the problem?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Lost desktop background

    I did a Search & Distroy spyware scan the other day, and one of the suggested "fixes" said something about removing Active Desktop. Like the muppet I am I clicked yes and am now without a desktop background picture.

    Does anyone have an idea how to reverse this? If I try to select a picture it's simply not added as a background.
