SUMMARY
You may get an Unrecoverable Application Error (UAE) if you use a 1024 x 768 bitmap as wallpaper in Windows 3.0 or 3.0a. This problem can usually be eliminated by converting the picture to a 1024 x 767 resolution.

This problem does not occur in later versions of Windows.

Windows 3.0 and 3.0a
To convert the image to 1024 x 767 using Windows 3.0 Paintbrush, do the following:


 * 1) Open Paintbrush.
 * 2) Open a 1024 x 768 bitmap.
 * 3) From the View menu, choose View Picture.
 * 4) Press the PRINT SCREEN key on the keyboard to copy the image to the Clipboard.
 * 5) From the Options menu, choose Image Attributes and change Units to pels, change Height to 767 pels, and choose the OK button.
 * 6) From the File menu, choose New, and maximize Paintbrush.
 * 7) From the View menu, choose Zoom Out.
 * 8) From the Edit menu, choose Paste. (This step may need to be done twice.)
 * 9) From the View menu, choose Zoom In.
 * 10) Save the file and it can be used as wallpaper.
