Click on the START button in the Windows toolbar.
Go to Settings, then choose Control Panel.
Click on the Display icon.
Click the settings tab.
Write down your desktop screen area (something like 640 by 480 or 800 by 600).
Save the image...
On the oldcowdogs.com web page, select the image size that matches the resolution setting you wrote down. The wallpaper images are downloaded as bitmap (.BMP) files. When you click on the correct size, a window should pop up that asks if you want to save the image. Choose this option and save the file to your Windows (or WinNT) folder (probably on drive C: on your computer).

Go back to the Display icon in the Control Panel.
On the Background tab, select the wallpaper file you just saved.
Click 'Apply' to change the wallpaper.
