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...) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Mark S.

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. Vince
