Hi Sergey
I tried building _screen as an object and now the .jpg only fills part of the screen. Tried setting the stretch property to 0,1, and 2 with no change.
When you set the display background it covers the whole screen & most of those .jpg's are 800X600, so there is something that they are doing that we don't know about.
Also, when I go into that routine a second time I get error#1771 (a member with this name already exists). I suspect have to test for nulls but don't know the syntax.
Thanks for your efforts.
