Hi
Try
<body background = http://pix.auctiva.com/pix/07/42/95/garrow.jpg
BGPROPERTIES="fixed">
http://pix.auctiva.com/pix/07/42/95/garrow.jpg is my image hosted by auctiva.
Upload your own image and replace mine with yours. Do not leave aany spaces.
If you don't want to fix the image i.e. text scrolls down but image stays just remove ="fixed"
Good luck
