Maleeq: Sorry mate, but you cannot change the background image in the Starter edition of Window 7.
you are wrong. it can be changed with the help of a software.

Use crayon, Felt Pen or Marker and draw whatever you feel like on the screen.

It is possible. There are many software to do that and even add aero to the personalization. Google on Oceanis or download it from the link: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/47294-desktop-background-change-windows-7-starter.html

Never upgrade with a fake product key, if you do, your windows will be blacklisted...

life_style: Never upgrade with a fake product key, if you do, your windows will be blacklisted...

I have been using a fake product key for years nw and I have neva been caught....It's based on luck sha. I'll rather get a FREE product key than pay over a $100 for windows product key. God forbid.
To the op, either. Upgrade ur windows or use the apps that the others suggested. The limitations of the windows 7 starter are not excessive tho.

hey you can change the desktop background or wallpaper without any third party app or spending a dim. just follow the steps below
1. Open regedit (aka registry editor; you can access it from the star menu by typing “regedit” in the search box…)
2. Go to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\” folder and click on it
3. On the right hand side find there are a bunch of entries. Find the key named “Wallpaper” and double click on it and put the path of the picture you want as your new wallpaper (example path is “C:\Users\Bob\Pictures\new_wallpaper.jpg”)
4. Right-click on the “Desktop” folder in regedit that you found in step 2 and click Permissions.
5. Click “Advanced”
6. Go to “Owner” tab, highlight your name in the box that says ʽChange owner toʼ ( There are only two choices the other is Administrator )… once your user name is highlighted click “OK”
7. Click on “Advanced” again
8. Uncheck the button that reads “Include inheritable permissions from the objectʼs parent”… click “Remove” when prompted
9. Click “Add”
10. Type “Everyone” and click “OK”
11. Check Allow “Read Control” and click “OK”
12. Click “OK” again
13. Highlight “Everyone” and check to Allow “Read” and click “OK”
14. Restart Computer and enjoy new Wallpaper

if you do an upgrade you will not loose any of your docs or files but truth is you have to know diff between doing upgrade and doing custome/fresh install.

before you start praying like atipako masquerade, did you check if your laptop is capable of being upgraded to ultimate?

If not, that might be the genesis of your computer problem.

You see how daf[i]t[/i] you are?

Your laptop is not designed to run Windows 7 ultimate. And, if it was designed to run it, so many people have used that serial. I give your computer 1 month max before it goes black and tell you your windows is not genuine.

... you this didirin!
