No, I tried that by reducing the image to 5" wide, did not help on my 17"
screen. Still stretches to fill screen even if I chose tiled or centered.
Strangly it showed correctly on my wife's new laptop until I transferred
files from her old laptop to her new one and now she has the same problem as
I.

Try an image which is smaller than your screen size ?

Did you try setting 'centered timings' for the monitor? If the setting is available it should be somewhere in your advanced video driver settings. In ATI's CCC you'd find it on Digital Panel -Attributes page in the Image Scaling section. There might even be a similar setting on the flat panel monitor itself.
