You must resize your images to the same aspect ratio as your monitor. 800 x
600 or some wide screens like mine 1440 x 900

Right click on the desktop, choose Personalize, Display settings. Determine
your settings, and then edit your images accordingly.

====================================
Maybe you need to adjust your screen resolution.
Check the documentation for your monitor and see
if there is a recommended setting.

The following article explains how to change the setting.

If your images are being stretched, check the options for image handling at the
bottom of the right click Desktop, Personalize, Desktop Background link at the
bottom of the page. (No need to resize your images. Choose the middle option
radio button.)
