Re: Maximum size of a background file

Hi Jim,

I sure can't give you a maximum size for a background file (wallpaper), but
4MB is quite large. If your novice has a new machine with lots of RAM, good
video card, etc., he might be OK.
My machine for example is about 6 yrs. old, and to optimize performance I
went to Control Panel>System, and on the Advanced tab click on the Settings
button on the Performance section. I've turned off all the "eye candy"
(which includes wallpaper), all the "fade-in fade-outs", and my computer is
*much* faster.

Have him/her try it both ways.
