Garfield Wallpaper Is Tiled When Using High Display Resolutions (187284)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Plus! 98
This article was previously published under Q187284

SYMPTOMS

When you apply the Garfield Desktop Theme, the associated wallpaper may be tiled on your desktop if the display resolution is set to 1024 x 768 or greater. As a result, the animated portion of the wallpaper overlaps into the sky of the tile below it.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because this wallpaper is an animated Graphics Interchange Format (.gif) file. You cannot change the dimensions of this file without losing the ability to play the animation embedded within it.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, reduce the display resolution to 800 x 600 or less. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  2. Double-click Display.
  3. Click the Settings tab.
  4. Move the Screen Area slider to the left until the display resolution shown beneath the slider is 800 By 600 Pixels or less, and then click OK.
  5. Click OK, and then click Yes.
  6. Close Control Panel.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Plus! 98, version 1.0.
