Have discovered it's something to do with having two monitors - one is
1280x1024 and the other is 1440x900. I can fill the screen on one or the
other but not both at the same time - is there a way?
 
Run them both at the SAME resolution. Thanks for that little bit of info
about there being TWO monitors.

I then get a stretched picture on the widescreen.

The same file is used for both monitors, match the monitors or match the
resolution.

There's no need for both monitors to be at the same resolution. I have
two monitors here, one 19" and one 17" and I run each at a different
resolution.

Yes I have them running at different resolutions, but the option seems to be
which monitor to have the blank bars on in so far as the
wallpaper/background is concerned.

The issue is "distorted" wallpaper, there is not a problem with actually
running monitors with different resolution/sizes.

saying.
