[comp.windows.ms] Wallpaper bmp's

mark@dekalb.UUCP (I'm the NRA) (03/13/91)

	I got one quick question...  I'm running windows in real
	mode w/ an ATI VGA Wonder 512K in 800x600.  Are there any
	size or memory limitations on the type on .bmp files I can
	use as wallpaper?  I using a 386-25 w/ only 1 Meg RAM (8 Meg
	is in the mail to me soon...)

Definitely.  You can only display certain sized images with only one meg.
My girlfriend's machine has 2 mb, and runs in 640x400x256.  In this mode, I
can't get a large bitmap to display (about 300k or more).  I couldn't get
paintshop to convert large files either...  Not sure why.
