Both the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems feature built-in tools that allow you to resize images without skewing the picture's aspect ratio, letting you modify your pictures for Facebook use without having to install third-party software. Resizing a photo to fit a Facebook profile picture is accomplished using several methods. Facebook has a simple editor for quick resizing and cropping needs but you may require an outside editor.

Is the desktop background all the way to one side? Or are you simply talking about the need to change your screen resolution? A graphics driver issue maybe?

What type of monitor do you have? The more information you give us, the better informed our answer will be. In the meantime. To make the desktop background larger, smaller, or simply make it fit the screen, try using the monitor buttons to adjust the screen location. If you need to adjust resolution which can affect the size of the background, then RIGHT click on a blank area of the desktop, choose 'Properties', then 'Settings', then change the 'Screen Resolution' to something that fits your needs.

If you're having issues using anything but the 'Fill' option for a particular desktop background, you probably (like me) just right clicked the image from Windows Photo Viewer and selected 'Set as desktop background.' This is where the bug comes in. If you go in to change how the image is displayed, selecting 'center' or any of the other non-default options, it does absolutely nothing. Here's how I fixed it: 1.

Right click your desktop. Select 'Personalize' 3. Click the 'Desktop' link along the bottom of the window 4. Click the 'Picture location:' drop down menu (where you can browse different folders) 5. Make sure 'Windows Photo Viewer' is NOT selected. Check 'Downloads' and/or 'Pictures' for your image. If the image is not in one of those two folders, move it there.

Dear Caffiend81, I was so pumped to find your answer.as it was finally different from the same answers of 'pick tile, blah blah or blah'. I'm usually good at figuring this stuff out.but, alas, even your 7 steps haven't helped me. I just restored this hp laptop.with my restore dvds and driver dvd. Do you think i should try to re-install the driver dvd to see if that helps? I'm scurred, as i just don't want anything to go wrong.again. Any suggestions would be great.

I'll keep googling this, in the hopes i can figure it out. Placing the overly large sized source image inside the special 'Photos' directory preserved its dimensions instead of annoyingly resizing it. You helped me restore the desktop to the bleeding size style I had set in XP and eveyr veriosn of windows in memory and this newer Vista auto resizing feature seemed to be an omitted annoyance of vista at the Wikipedia artilcle. You are the, the authoirty Caffiend81, you're welcome to sneak into my home and steal anything you desire!!!! Thanks a ton of tons.

Resizing photos before posting them to Facebook can make your pictures easier to work with, helping you to avoid long load times or having to crop large chunks out of an image. In addition, Facebook sets a minimum size requirement on profile images, requiring them to be at least 180 pixels wide in order for the system to accept them. Both the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems feature built-in tools that allow you to resize images without skewing the picture's aspect ratio, letting you modify your pictures for Facebook use without having to install third-party software. Select either “Percentage” or “Pixels” from the Resize menu. “Percentage” allows you to set the image to a percentage value of its original size, while “Pixels” allows you to set a specific value for the image's height or width.
