Background does not fill whole monitor screen

[Guest]

After encountering various virus problems on my computer, my background
picture changed to some fake spyware warning image. Since removing the
problem there appears to be no way to get
my background image to reappear across the whole monitor screen. I now have
a blue background that goes from left to right up to about 3/4 of an inch
from the right hand side of the monitor screen. I try to adjust the edge of
the background farther right, but it will go no farther. How do I correct
this problem.

Try this.

Open Display Properties...
Right click Desktop | Properties | Desktop tab |
Under Position, click the V to see the choces | Select Stetch |
Click Apply | Click OK

Position
[[Lists background display options. Center will display the image in the
center of your screen; Tile will repeat the image over your entire screen;
Stretch will stretch the image to cover your entire screen. ]]

Hope this helps. Let us know.

I tried everything that you suggested. "Stretch" was already the selected
option. Your suggestion did not solve the problem. Thanks for the reply.

Hi, David,
check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WallpaperStyle
value should be 2 for fully stretched wallpaper.
