Windows 7 starter doesn't support changing the desktop background, you have to install a separate program such as Stardock MyColors or Samurize to change the background or upgrade to windows 7 home premium if you upgrade, i suggest you max the ram to 2GB, get a ready-boost capable flash drive to supplement the installed ram, and increase the HD virtual memory(aka paging files, area of the hard drive the PC uses instead of ram) to about 3000MB Good Luck EH EDIT well, you have to buy the upgrade, but if you open your control panel, one of the icons should be windows upgrade assistant, not sure if its called that exactly, but its usually in the last row of icons, towards the right end of the row, it will tell you how to purchase and upgrade to windows 7 home premium

In Position, click Center, Tile, or Stretch You can use a personal picture as a background. All of your personal pictures located in My Pictures are listed by name in the Background list.

If you have windows 7 starter version you can't change the background unless you upgrade to home premium.
