Instructions for Use

The images below may be used as a wallpaper or background for a Windows desktop.

These instructions are written for Windows 95 / 98 users. Mac and other OS users should be able to make similar use of these images but these instructions may not be applicable.

Each wallpaper image is provided at different resolutions :

640 pixels x 480 pixels (also known as VGA)
800 pixels x 600 pixels (also known as SVGA)
1024 pixels x 768 pixels (also known as XGA)
1280 pixels x 1024 pixels (also known as SXGA)
1600 pixels x 1200 pixels (also known as UXGA)

Choose the resolution that you are running on your monitor. For those with old 14" monitors, this will probably be VGA. For those with fairly new 15" monitors, this will probably be SVGA. XGA is a common resolution on 17" monitors and those with bigger monitors probably know what you're doing. If you're in doubt, right click on an empty area of your desktop, select properties, select the settings tab, and look at what is shown under screen area.

To make one of these images your Windows wallpaper (background image), click on the resolution you require for the selected image and allow the image to load fully in your web browser.
