    I'm connecting a HP W2207h via HDMI to my HP DM4 with a 5450. For some reason, the wallpaper only covers about half the screen and the rest is a thick black border. Is there anyway I can extend the wallpaper to cover the entire background so I don't have that black border?

    Thanks.

    It's a 22in monitor with 1680x1050 wallpaper. I tried using that resolution wallpaper and it doesn't work. Regardless of the resolution of the wallpaper, it should "stretch" out to fill the screen. I'm just not sure why it's not doing that.
