I want my backdrop to be a single picture. But when I set the backdrop on and texture it, the picture is tiled, no matter how big I resize the picture in my paint program.

Any way to get a non-tiled backdrop?

yes.. or no actually.
you get a textured backdrop but it is called sky box.

it will be like the real sky you see outside your window (you have probably seen it)

so just make a sphere/box at camera range/1.75, texture it with your image, scale it to -100,-100,-100 to make its polygons point towards you and position it at the camera position. here i will give you some code to better explain all that:
