Most likely your netbook came with Windows 7 Starter Edition. You can tell for sure by looking at the Windows License sticker that is affixed to the bottom of the system.

In Windows 7 Starter Edition, Microsoft disabled a number of features, one of them being the ability to change the wallpaper on your desktop. Below is a link that describes the missing features in Starter Edition, and provides a comparison of all the version of Windows 7.

CANT CHANGE THE WALLPAPER

Hi Friend,

In case if you are using netbook, mostly netbooks comes with the starter editions of the OS like "Windows 8 Starter" or "Windows 7 Starter", these Starter editions does not have the option/capability to change the Wallpaper.
So, if you are using netbook with Windows Starter edition, I am afraid you will not be able to change the wallpaper.

Thank you.

I cant put a wallpaper

As you have not mentioned the Operating System, let me provide the general information.

But, please do not worry, I'll also provide you the alternate options.

In all the Windows Operating Systems, the Desktop Wallpaper can be changed by using the Display Properties option.

The option to change the Wallpaper is only not available with these Operating Systems:

1) Windows Vista Home basic.
2) Windows 7 Home basic.

However, here's the key.

You may change the Desktop Wallpaper by using any third party Applications.

This also applies to the Windows Vista and Windows 7 Home Basic Operating Systems.

I have mentioned one such Application below:

You may download the Wallpaper Changer Application from the below link.

Hope this helps.

Please feel free to ask further questions.
