My background screen moves when I move the mouse. It didn't do that before. How can I change it back?

Sounds like you have zoomed your screen a little. Hold down the CTRL key and scroll down with your mouse (assuming it has a scroll wheel or is a mighty mouse).

That should do it...

figured it out

I figured it out. I went into the system preferences, the keyboard and mouse folder, then options folder. There was a place where I could reset how the screen image moves with the mouse. I don't know how it changed to begin with.....



What? The desktop picture moves when you move your mouse?! What happens when it goes offscreen? What shows up behind it?
