The background graphic is not wide enough. It is only 672 pixels wide. Most
border backgrounds I make are 1400 wide. That takes care of just about
every screen resolution there is.

What I do when I get this is to re-make the graphic original graphic but
just adding some width.
If you feel uncomfortable doing that, you may want to e-mail the person you
got the graphic from and ask him/her to make it wider for you(some people
who offer free graphics don't want the graphic altered in any way, even
widening it).
