Pauliez, please follow these instructions:

1. Hit your Print Screen button
2. Now open Irfanview (if you don't have it, shame on you)
3. Select EDIT, then PASTE
4. Now save it as a .png file using the default quality level 6
5. Then select IMAGE, RESIZE/RESAMPLE and resize it to 640 x 480
6. Now SAVE it as a .jpg file with a quality of 70 to 80 (whatever gets you to the 50 kb limit) You'll never be able to use quality of 100 unless it's a very basic wallpaper and even then I'd stick with 80% quality.

If you don't have Irfanview, use MSPaint or whatever other graphics program you use (it's just easier with Irfanview)

This works for me EVERYTIME. Hope it helps.
