how can i get my desktop wallpaper to fit my screen?

i have a 17 inch screen laptop and i use webshots for my screensavers and wallpaper. but they never stretch to fill in the entire screen, so i have solid colored spaces on the left and right side of pics. i have tried everything to fixt it, but it seems all the options are already checked for the pics to fill the screen. is there any way to fix this?? thanks in advance! i have tried EVERYTHING listed here! didn't work...

1. Edit the picture size to the same size as your screen. Then it will fit. 800 by 600 or whatever you screen size is set to.
2. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Display. Go to "Desktop" tab, and there will be a dropdown box "Position". Pull it down, select "Stretch", click "Apply" and "OK". You should be done. If you have already done all this, then try this: open webshot click options then screen saver select enlarge pictuer to best fit screen If this also doesnt work, try changing the resolution of your display screen. Cheers!
3. Right click on desktop, select properties. Under desktop tab, change the position to stretch and click ok
4. are you referring to your wallpaper or screensaver? Your wall paper is easy...Just put a picture in C:WINDOWS/WEB/WALLPAPERS folder, then select it in Display Properties. Click on Stretch and it will fit the screen. Some narrow pictures won't look good if they require lots of "stretching". The screensaver you probably can't do much of because you will get different sized pictures and can't adjust every single picture. therefore you'll get colored bars to fill the space. Best thing would be to use only those pictures that fit the screen good, and don't use the ones that don't fit.
