At first I want to apologize for not answering yet. I am really sorry.

@Stephen: Thank your very much for your answer. 

Well I want to know with screensize is defined on the PC (1024*768, 800*600, 
1600*1200....). As my employer offers Wallpapers it is interesting to know 
wich sizes to offer. Is there any necessity to offer 800x600 any more or just 
start with 1024*768. 

Since short time we are also using a pixel-tracking system that gives us 
information about the desktop-screen-size.

For all, who do not have this possibility I found these "services" for several 
stats.
