Hello and welcome to the forums charcan,
Do you have a screenshot of how they look? What resolution were the pictures taken? And how are you setting it to display them? If they are a much lower resolution/size than your screen and it is set to Fill/fit/stretch then they will look bad. A way to test this is to change it to center.

When I set it to center the picture is about 1 1/2" X 1 1/2". The properties of this photo are 800X600 with a dpi of 96. I have one photo in the bunch that works beautifully and it is 1024 X 768 with a dpi of 72. I appreciate any help I can get.:)
I finally started all over. I deleted all my colorado pics and retrieved them from my disk that I had saved them too and this time it is working beautifully!!! Thanks for your time:) and sorry for bothering you!
Hi and welcome to Seven Forums.
You need to use pictures with the same resolution as you monitors native resolution. What w7 is doing is resizing that picture to a bigger size, that will always be blurry. From what I see, your native resolution is 1280x800 so you'll want a photo at least 1280 pixels wide.
EDIT: No problem and you are not a bother.
