SYMPTOMS
When you apply the Garfield Desktop Theme, the associated wallpaper may
be tiled on your desktop if the display resolution is set to 1024 x 768 or
greater. As a result, the animated portion of the wallpaper overlaps into
the sky of the tile below it.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because this wallpaper is an animated Graphics
Interchange Format (.gif) file. You cannot change the dimensions of this
file without losing the ability to play the animation embedded within it.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, reduce the display resolution to 800 x 600 or less.
To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click Display.
- Click the Settings tab.
- Move the Screen Area slider to the left until the display resolution
shown beneath the slider is 800 By 600 Pixels or less, and then click
OK.
- Click OK, and then click Yes.
- Close Control Panel.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Plus! 98,
version 1.0.
