Full screen screensaver photo query

Guest

Hi all
I'm not sure if this is the correct area for this particular posting, but
here goes.
How can I adjust "screensaver" photos to cover the full screen, which are
presently surrounded by a blue border. I have done this previously but have
since forgotten. Thanks for any helpful advice.

=======================
Does it help if you go to...
Display Properties / Screen saver /
Settings Tab..........

At: "How big should pictures be"
drag the slider to 100%.

And or check the box,
"Stretch Small Pictures".

Hi John
Thanks for your response.
The instructions that you describe are featured in the Dell Insp. 4000 but
not in the Dell Insp. 9300, (As far as I can find), of which I have both.
It's really not a problem but just another chance to try to possibly increase
my computer savvy. Thanks again.

On any computer running Windows XP
you should be able to find Display Properties
by going to...Control Panel / Display.

Or go to...Start / Run...and type:
desk.cpl
....Press enter.

Yes I do get the display properties but when I hit the settings key I get My
pictures premium settings but it shows a different window as insp. 4000.
The window I am getting shows the following...

Collect pictures from the folder listed below. Click browse to select a
different folder. Click customize to select specific pictures.

Pictures
c:/documents and settings\My documents\screensaver
Browse Customize Randomize order

Appearance
Picture change speed Style
Slow ------- Fast Fade----------

Windows Media Player playlist

Playlist
None-------- Shuffle


Display Settings ok cancel



It doesn't look like the 9300 has the same feature as the 4000.

Maybe this computer is running the
Windows Media Center Edition of
Windows XP?
