I bought my brand new acer AO D270 the other day and still cannot figureout how to change the windows desktop skin into pictures I want, like nature, cars etc. I've searched through all Settings Pannel and cannot find a solution. When I choose a picture and right-click with a mouse it gives me option to set a picture as a desktop background. I click on this option but nothing happends. The drop-out window disappears and when I minimize all windows to see the desktop, it remains the same with Windows picture. Please give me a clue what to do. Thanks in advance.

If you have Windows 7 Starter for netbooks, you cannot easily change the desktop wallpaper. You have to buy the full version of Windows 7 which will run just fine on your netbook. This is M$ way of making money.

Welcome to Microsoft Windows 7 starter which is crippled so you cannot change the desktop along with several other things.
To fix this you need to buy, yes buy, another version of Win7.
SOURCE: Thanks ...but I have tried
You don't need your recovery disk to fix that, a simple XP install disk will do just fine - borrow one from a friend.
f you get 7 then - to prevent the problem from reappearing - you must do a full fresh install. But you will lose all your files and programs this way.
