Andrea,
The free background you downloaded and chose to use is apparently made
for 800x600 resolution, meaning those at lower resolution will not see
the full right border graphic, and those at higher resolution will see
more solid color past the right border. The only way around this is to
modify the bg in a graphics editor: (if it is permissible to modify)

-Open up the bg in a graphics editor like PSP, choose the existing color
of the solid bg, add canvas to the right side of the width to be approx
1600 pixels wide total bg (image/canvas size). Then choose the shapes
tool set at rectangle/filled and solid color over the graphic on the
right border.
