- Hmmm... Don't see why you would have a problem if you used Paintshop Pro
- (Which I uses to crop and resize to exactly the size I want). Be sure to
- save it under BMP - RLE encoded (I think). Or, you can always use VPIC
- 5.0's convert feature to convert the picture on the spot (compressed). The
- program GIF2BMP should also work for any type of gifs w/o decreasing the
- gifs' color depth. I really had fun dressing up my Windows with neat
- wallpapers, so hopefully this will help you as well. Let me know if you
- have any other problems.
