“Vista image?”
I have Vista on my laptop. Not sure what this is, though.

Don’t know...while running Vista on my new laptop, I have thought about throwing it out the sliding glass door and off the deck. :)

Try this: position your cursor (the arrow) on your desktop, just on the image, and right-click the mouse. That’ll bring up a menu, and you should choose “Personalize” at the bottom of the menu. When the new window full of choices opens, choose “Desktop Background” - and once that opens, see the 3 choices at the bottom of that new window for “Choose a Desktop Background.” At the bottom, see the “How should picture be positioned?” - and choose the one which fills the entire screen. See if that works.

I think what you are facing is a settings issue with the display monitor. Check the graphics display resolution to see that it matches the hardware resolution.

Ken, there is a place to work on desktop properties. You may still be able to there by right clicking the desktop. Otherwise I’d suggest you access your computer options by hitting start and some reasoned second option.

In the properties area, you can select stretch on the desktop image.

Sorry I can’t be of more help. This is what I did when I fixed my brothers display.

Most monitors have adjustments for screen size, usually located somewhere around the bottom part of the frame that surrounds the screen.
Have you tried adjusting these controls?

i've got black bars on either side of my vista image.

how do i eliminate these so that vista can occupy the whole screen on my samsung 2693hm?

It's also destroyed your ability to capitalize.

I'd shut it right down if I were you.

Seriously, are you trying to display a photo on your desktop and it’s black either side? (If so, maybe someone can help but not me since I don’t have Vista.)

OK!! Everybody Knock It Off!!

Ken I'll help you as best I can. It's not so hard.

First, shut down or reboot.
when the black screen comes back up, hit escape. This will bring you to the start up menu.

Number 4 will read Start Windows Normally. It usually defaults to this, so just hit enter.

If it doesn't just scroll down to #4 and hit enter.

While this is happening, this immediately run to the bathroom and wrap a shower towel around your head and stick whatever fruit you may have laying around in the folds of the towel.

As soon as your Laptop makes that cute little Vista sound...strip down to your briefs. boxers are better...trust me on this

Just when you think that that all the unnecessary software has loaded...immediately run outside to your neighbors house, ring the bell...and when they answer it...do your best Carmen Miranda dance,...singing

I Got Bars On Vista....I Got Bars On Vista....I Got Bars On Vista....

The people in the approaching vehicle with the flashing red and blue lights will be able to help you.
