Dana,
First of all, make sure when downloading the background image from a site,
that you first click on the actual background sample, to get a full view of
this particular background. Then, once youre at the new full sized
background page, right click and "save as". Also, make sure your BODY
attributes are called properly, for example:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" BACKGROUND="grain.gif" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF"
VLINK="#C0C0C0" ALINK="#FF0000">

I believe your problem may have come from you downloading the sample
background image, instead of clicking on the sample and viewing the full
size background first.

HTH,
Cindy
