Huh?
I have a 256MB PCI Express™ x16 nVidia GeForce 6800
I run GW on all the highest settings at home. Are you talking about my desktop at work? Because that is state property I'm lucky I got the Wallpaper up!
Ah.... I know what's wrong... you are seeing the screen cap I made of my desktop... here is the ful 65million color ver.
This is what I see when I play. The screen cap program cut the colors down when I took the one of my desktop.

Actually, it's not his graphics card. He saved it as a GIF instead of a JPG. Not his fault, really -- he's probably using poorly written software that lists GIF as an option when saving images that cannot possibly be saved as GIF, and then when it's selected, creates a new image in memory that can be saved as GIF (but only approximates the original image) and saves that instead, all without informing him of what it's doing. Users shouldn't need to know the nitty-gritty details of image formats, but when software is written stupidly, users need to be better informed. So, here's a rule of thumb: use JPG for anything you didn't draw yourself in Paint. GIF is the ideal format for simple drawings and art with few colors. It's a bad format for complex art, photographs, etc. Saving a photograph or GW screenshot as GIF will result in a very low quality image that takes more space than if you used JPG.
EDIT: Ah, I see he beat me to the punch. I'm leaving this here, however, since it might be informative to other users.

Woo got the stupid things fixed
I switch my wallpapers between my Fan Art and pictures of my cats usually.. it has to be something I relate to so rarely it's a Fantasy piece I choose cos they're all other people's work
I was just in the process of changing it from this:
http://img104.echo.cx/my.php?image=naladesktop8lg.jpg
..into this when I was reading this thread so I thought I'd post both
http://img104.echo.cx/my.php?image=k...desktop8vw.jpg
The cat on the right (Hermione), is the mother and the one on her left (Osiris) is her brother. No he's not the dad We know who the dad is. Gryffin(Black), Satyr (Silver) and Phoenix (Ginger) are the babies.
... I have no excuses for the sheep *_*

How do ye guys make that little preview screen appear instead of the full picture?
A link instead of a preview isn't bothering me alot. I was just curious. ^^

Pixie - if you have your own webspace, then you can do this to make a 'thumbnail link' on (most) modern forums:
Make a small version of your large picture, and use the BBcode to turn it into a link to the bigger picture. Example:
{url=http://domainname/thelargepicture.jpg}{IMG}http://domainname/thesmallpicture.jpg{/IMG}{/url}
*Replace the { } brackets with the BBcode [ ] brackets*
As to desktops - gawd, mine changes every day, almost. From game screenshots to stuff I make myself.

Hate icons that clutter things. Disabled the Recycle Bin, so that stuff deletes automatically w/o the extra step. Keep all my neccesary shortcuts in the start menu
