when I click a desktop background picture, it stays in the lower right corner-How do I center it? I tried right clicking properties, then center, or stretch or tile-but I get a jumble of the picture. Can you help me to correct this?

Hi fnark,

Are you referring to your desktop wallpaper on Windows or setting a wallpaper from Firefox? If it's the desktop wallpaper on Windows, you can follow this to change it,

  1. Click Start>Control Panel
  1. Open Display in Control Panel.

On the Desktop tab, do one or more of the following:

  1. Click a picture in the Background list. In Position, click Center, Tile, or Stretch.
  1. Click Browse to search for a background picture in other folders or on other drives. You can use files with the following extensions: .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .dib, .png, .htm. In Position, click Center, Tile, or Stretch.
  1. Select a color from Desktop color. The color fills the space not used by a picture.

If you are talking about setting a wallpaper from Firefox, you have to view the entire image, not just right clicking on the thumbnail like in Google Images. Right click the image, Set as Desktop Background, then select Center, Tile, Stretch, Fill, or Fit.

Let me know if I am incorrect about your situation

I don't have a fill or fit-the problems started when I tried to correct the picture on my tv which was a bit fuzzy after i moved the netflix to my Tv

So you are trying to connect your laptop to your TV?
