Zip file attached:

At home I tend to use pictures of my pet rabbit, Snuff.

On my work PC I use all kinds of crap, but at the moment I am cycling through pieces from www.banksy.co.uk

Also in the attached zip is a picture I took on my phone of Old Harry Rocks near my home, that I have been thinking about putting on my home PC.

I just use the "Circles" wallpaper that comes with Windows. I rarely find any images I like enough to use as wallpaper. I once had a pretty cool picture of a dragon, but using it as wallpaper seemed to make my computer less stable.

That's quite common. If you're going to use a backdrop picture of something heavy, like a dragon, it's always a good idea to make sure the heavy item is central on the screen. If it is to one side, you should at least make sure there is something of approximately equal weight on the other side of the picture to balance it out.

That should fix most instability problems
