Wrong Wallpaper Position
Feb 17, 2009
I didn't seem to find a solution for this issue. I have a wallpaper that's 1280x800 and that's my monitor's resolution as well. I tried to have it "fit to screen" but the wallpaper ends up being at the upper left side of my screen (cutting part of the wallpaper). I've also tried the other available options tiling and centering but they all came out to be the same. I have to change the resolution every time I turn on my laptop in order for it to actually fit to the screen; change 1280 to another resolution and then change it back again to 1280 for it to actually fit. But even still this option doesn't really cover my entire screen (2nd picture: Top part

I have a new Windows Ultimate Installation and changed the Control Panel to Classic View, and also expanded it into the upper part of the monitor, but it does not remember it.

Is there a way to set constant UAC popup window positions? It appears in different places on the screen depending on application, for example while starting Total Commander with administrator's right the UAC window appears at the left low corner, Symantec Endpoint Protection - at the middle of the screen's bottom. It's not a big problem of course, but maybe it is possible to fix such behavior?

Me and lwbh have been trying to solve a problem where 2 of the options down the bottom of the Picture Position selection menu are missing.We understand that vista ultimate has all 5,but Home Premium only has 3.We were wondering if anyone knows how to enable those extra buttons under vista Home Premium(see the examples if you don't know what I mean).

I've seen numerous posts out there about how to get Vista to remember the size and position of Windows Explorer. Altering registry keys, holding down Alt, Ctrl, or Shift while closing etc. None of these worked reliably for me. Here's what I've stumbled across that works in my Vista Home Premium 32bit:
* Position and size Windows Explorer as desired.
* Select the Computer folder (via Navigation Pane or Address Bar)
* Close Windows Explorer (no need to hold down any keys)

All free stuff (not necessarily 64-bit, but I have found them flawless with vista x64 and I'm sure most of you probably know these already)
- "Transparent" Tools -
- Desktop Icon Position/Restore (32-bit and 64-bit versions) Restore your icon layout after updating your display driver, etc.
- ClipBoardPath (32-Bit) As far as I'm concerned, this is much better than the default in vista. I use a lot of design programs and I need the file paths from inside viewers such as acdsee and this desplays nicely, whereas the default vista one can't be accessed.......

I now have Vista Home Premium 64bit. My HP Laserjet 1022 prints just fine... BUT it won't let me position the image on the page the way I want it to. Sometimes I have a 16x22-inch image that I need to print full-size--what I've always done in the past (when I had Windows XP) is print it in four different sections. When I would start to print, it would automatically show me how the image was positioned on the page and I could move it around to get it in the right position to print one-quarter at a time. Now it does not give me that option.

BTW - My system is Vista Home Premium 64-bit NVIDIA was randomly changing the placement of my desktop icons. UNTIL, I updated the drivers to 191.07. After that, the desktop stabilized and I didn't have an issue. NOTE: My version of NVIDIA is 8500 GT/9200 (not sure why it has two?) I just updated the drivers today to 197.13 and sure enough . . . during installation, it took my desktop icons, rearranged them, and shoved them all to the left. I cannot tell you how irritating this is to me.
I have read some of the other threads and the general concensus then, was that there is no way to lock the desktop. Has anyone found a way to either lock the desktop or resolve this issue? I assume I'm not alone in this. Course the "easy" fix would be to just restore back to the earlier drivers, but . . . I'm thinking that it's really best to have the most up-to-date ones - yes??

I really need some software like this. I used one on XP but it does not work in Vista. The icons are wildely dancing around my desktop every time I do something with the sidebar or switch from the full screen game. Change resolution or such and It is really annoying They often even get under the sidebar so I cannot use them...

I've been running Vista now for over a year and ever since I made the switch, I've been annoyed, by how Vista deals with Wallpaper. I'm on using a widescreen monitor, with vista, it doesnt' resize the image to fit without stretching it. With XP, it would resize it while maintaining its proportions, but I can't seem to find a way to do that with vista.

I like to have Animated/flash wallpapers, in Windows XP i could do that with some tools/programs, but now with windows vista, i just can't get this to work. I tried several programs, but none of them worked. Is it possible to use flash wallpapers in windows vista? and if so, how to do it.

I really want to be able to have an SWF file as a wallpaper in vista (I got a killer idea) but I cant get it to work. Theres many programs to do it, but they are all for XP and before. A way I could do it would be to put it in html, but then that only works for XP and before too.

When I used to change my wallpaper I had 5 options to fit the image to the screen, cant remember them exactly but they were something like; Stretch to screen, fit horizontal, fit vertical, centered, and tiled. Why is it now that I only have; Centered, Tiled and stretch to screen?
Was this an update because this is really annoying!? It was much easier to fit the wallpaper to screen without stretching it when I could fit horizontal and vertical? Why can I not do this now?

Using Vista for the first time - lotsa little annoyances, but nothing I don't thing I can handle or deal with except... Whenever I shut down and restart, my wallpaper is gone. It's a simple JPG downloaded from the internet. I keep a few dozen in a folder and change them as the whim hits. Any idea why it doesn't remain in place a after a reboot?

My computer shut down and when it re-booted the icons were SUPER LARGE and the picture wall paper I had is enormous now. I was able to get the icons back to normal but the wallpaper won't readjust. I have Vista 64-bit. In the old computer, all I had to do was right click and the properties box would open and I would just re-adjust the pixel size but this computer is different.

I'm wondering if it's ok to Delete any of the stock wallpapers that were included in Vista? I've found one of the folders which has a few that I have no use of, but still haven't located the other folder. I think there's at least 2, maybe? I'm thinking about downloading some new wallpapers and wanted to clear out some extra space. Also, when I get new wallpapers, can I add them directly to the Windows Wallpaper folder?

I want to put one of my own pictures, centered as my desktop wallpaper. I can get the picture there ok, but if I try to set it as centered, all I get is the center of the picture as the wallpaper. If I try to tile the picture I get the top left hand corner of the picture as the wallpaper. It seems to be tiling or centering the screen on my picture, instead of tiling or centering my picture on the screen! Has anyone else come across this problem?

I'm trying to change the way a wallpaper is displayed on the desktop (i.e. Stretch, Tile, Centred) but I can't. The wallpaper is always displayed stretched out and I can't change it to be tiled or centred.
The way I'm doing this (to no avail) is obviously to right-click the desktop, then choose "Personalize", then click on "Desktop Background", then click one of the three radio buttons at the bottom (in this case, either of the two on the right), then click "OK".

1. Windows Vista Home Premium wanted me to update so I did.
2. Update changed my desktop giving me new icons and a new wallpaper. But my files in My Pictures and My Documents were missing.
3. I used the Start Search to locate them and cut-pasted them into the My Pictures and My Documents folders in the new interface.
4. I shutdown my computer after I was done using it.
5. I turned on my computer again and Windows reverted back to the older (pre-update) interface.
6. I checked and to my luck the My Pictures and My Documents folders were empty again........
