Desktop Wallpaper not centered

[thepersiancat]

Hi everyone.

I bought an Acer Aspire 4530-6039 one week ago and it came with Vista. I was going to switch over to my previous version of XP, but the techie said I should try the new Windows 7. So I did and for a few days it was fine, but when I started playing around with the desktop wallpaper and trying to change it, I realized that the center of the monitor is not aligned with the physical center of my laptop screen.

Basically, there is a big gap in the right hand side and the bottom of my desktop, where the background image should be. None of the wallpapers that come with Windows 7 or the ones that I downloaded myself work. The only one that seems to 'fit', and barely, is the original fish backdrop that is the standard image when Win7 is first installed.

I have tried everything. I even went through the nVIDIA posts and installed the latest 9M G series for notebooks. Nothing. I'm really frustrated about this issue. Is anyone having the same problem as me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Goldie and welcome to Se7en Forums

Are you having this problem with everything, or just your wallpapers?
Your screen resolution is 1280 x 800, what are the resolution of the wallpapers that you are using?
Have you tried selecting Fill here?

Hi Dwarf,

Thank you for the reply. I'm having this problem only with the wallpapers - my icons can go anywhere on the screen and my taskbar is located at the proper location at the bottom of the monitor. I have already gone to the screen display settings and tried to switch it to Fill, but that, along with all the other options available in that menu, doesn't work either.
