Your desktop wallpaper may also exhibit this behavior when you configure your Active Desktop to be viewed as a Web page. The images are displayed properly when you save the image file to a disk, and then view the saved file in Internet Explorer or other programs. This behavior occurs only when the images are rendered in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format.
