The photo that I chose for wallpaper is only about 1/4
visible from the left of the screen. I've done
everything to correct it but it will not correct. I've
gone through desktop and all of the options available but
even when readjusted, the picture is only 1/4 visible.
What do I do next?
 
My guess is that this picture is too small to fit your screen.
1. Check the size of your screen
Right click on a part of your desktop screen with no icon. Click on
Properties and click on the Settings tab in the opening windows. You will
see something like this:
1280 x 1024 pixels. (or some number like this)
2. Check the size of the photo
Place your mouse pointer over the photo file. A textbox will open. The first
item listed is:
Dimensions: 680 x 460 (or some number like this).

If the dimensions of the picture are smaller than the dimensions of you
screen, XP cannot fill the screen because there is not enough pixels. When
setting it for your desktop, you can use stretch instead of center but it
will look terrible on your screen.

If the picture dimensions are larger than your screen dimensions, XP tries
to center the photo as best it can, but depending on the aspect ratio of the
picture dimensions you may have white edges on top and bottom.
