troubleshooting

• wallpaper is stretched in an ugly way
  • the wallpaper does not fit the screen resolution; select a wallpaper that fits
  • two-screen configurations might require an extra-wide version (same resolution in Y, double in X)
• folder "C:\Windows" does not exist
  • use "C:\WINNT" on older Windows 2000 systems
