    In the window where you specify the background image there is a setting that is currently set to "tiled". You want to change this to something else. (e.g. stretched or centered)

    Tyler's instructions are correct with respect to XP.

    In Vista, right-click the desktop, personalize, desktop background, "how should be picture or video be positioned..."

    Assuming this is Windows.

    1. Go to the Control Panel

    2. Go to Display

    3. Click the Background tab, and change the display from "Tiled" to "Stretch".

    However, the small image will become pixelated or blurrier.
