Wallpaper & Background Installation Instructions
These instructions are for people using Windows 9x. I am not familar with how desktop backgrounds work in the Mac OS or in Linux. Please feel free to email me if you are familar with those operating systems & can provide me with instructions.
  1. Determine what the resolution of your display is. In Windows 9x, you do this by by going to START | Settings | Control Panel. Once the control panel is open, double-left-click on the 'Display' icon. Click on the 'Settings' tab. There should be a small gray retangle titled 'Desktop Area' and it should say something like '800 by 600 pixels' or '1024 by 768 pixels'. This represents your display resolution. After you determine your display resolution, close the 'display' dialog box and the control panel and return to your internet browser.

  2. Select a tgw.net wallpaper that matches your display resolution. Do this by clicking on the appropriate hyperlink underneath the wallpaper you are interested in. Wait until the appropriate image displays in your browser.

  3. Once the appropriate wallpaper is displayed in your browser, your browser can help you convert it to the wallpaper on your windows desktop. If you are running Microsoft Internet Explorer or NetScape Communicator, all you need to do is right-click on top of the image and select 'Set as Wallpaper' from the pop up menu.

You can also download three images from any collection (all three resolutions) in a Self Extracting WinZip file. Here are links to download those Self Extracting WinZip files:

         Lonely Sentinels (Lighthouses)
         Go Sailing (Sailing Images)
         Just Barkley (Golden Retriever)
