Ok

I have pasted an image 1920x1080 to the screen (1920x1080 is my current screen size), the picture only covers the left corner of my screen.
How do I make it cover the whole screen ?

I don't think you can have images larger than 1024x1024, could that be it?

I pasted an image 500 by 500 on the screen and it displayed it in the top left hand corner

load image "background.jpg", 1
paste image 1,0,0

the image is quite small.

Even when I changed my screen size to 640x480 it only took up 1/4 of the screen.

Is there another way to set a background picture image ?

What are the virtual dimensions of your app?
Try setting it to the same size as the virtual width and height

Is that code AppGameKit? It looks like dark basic to me.

I agree with Mike. In AppGameKit you'll need to create a sprite from your image, and then use drawsprite if you really need to render it to the back buffer. Alternatively, just leave the sprite displayed in the background (use setpritedepth to send it behind other sprites on the screen). You can scale it up to fit the screen with SetSpriteSize.

Good luck!
