Try to check if the desktop is stretched there, and change it

Yeah well you have Vista or?

(And yes it's only for the wallpaper, but it was worth a shot ^^)

well, I am not using Vista, so I got this info via google and I can't validate it:
Click View > Advanced View > Stretched Desktop.
you should find an option to enable/disable it there.... :wink:
