Instructions
These pictures of the Isle of Wight's natural beauty have been chosen to provide an enjoyable background to your computer desktop. Choose your wallpaper from the selection on this page. To set the picture you choose as desktop wallpaper:

Which size do I need?
Each image has two links, one for each size. All the images are available in either 800x600 (smaller) or 1024x768 (larger) sizes. Both sizes will work on any monitor, but different monitors and screen set-ups will look better with one or the other, so you might want to try each to see which you prefer. If you have a small monitor, try the smaller size first. Larger monitors can show either size, but the larger size will be better quality.
