There are 2 ways top stop a bg from tileing. one is to set up the image using a css, the other is to takr the base colour and extend the image past the largest viweing size u think your users will use I usualy use 1000 * 700 as a rough guide.

If you require more help let me know.

Set up a reference in your css.
Go to background and link to your image.
then play with the settings below (repeat, attach, HP and VP).

(I am using dw 4 not sure what other vertions have.)

or you could manualy put these in, here is the code.

.name { background-attachment: fixed;
background-color: #999999;
background-image: url(*.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right bottom}

As habit I always put a bg colour similar to the main colour of the image.

the bits in here are other options.

background-attachment:
Fixed or scroll

background-repeat:
no-repeat
repeat
repeat-x
repeat-y

background-position:
left center right value
and
top center bottom value

value can be in px, pt, in and more.

hope this helps
