I am just curious. I use Paintdotnet, (MS)Paint, and Graphics Workshop variously for editing images. Occasionally, when I select an image to set as desktop background, the bmp or png images will not appear as backgrounds. When I convert with a diff program, it then works (ie paintdotnet dosn't 'view, but GWS convert does, or Paint convert does) They all show/view with 'MS windows picture & fax viewer', just occaisionally, not (MS') background. Its just a simple one time fix & not any issue but I just wonder why??

(I allus convert jpg, gif, etc. to bmp first thing, if png, I use png. Only ever convert 'back' to jpg for online posting)

(convert bmp to png or visa versa)
