Acer aspire one d260 how change desktop wallpaper

one day my desktop switched from my selected theme to solid black. I could not choose anything else until I activated Windows - because the "trial period" had expired.
That was also in Win7

go to the desktop and press F1. type in change screen brightness and it should show you.

You have to know the password to change anything in the bios or to logon as the administrator in windows.

You might have Windows 7 Starter, please be advised that Windows 7 Starter does not include Personalization feature for changing desktop background, window colors, or sound schemes.

However, there is a solution for the desktop wall paper for Windows 7 Starter. You have to deal with the Registry. Please read my notes below.

• · Click start
• · In the search box or run, type regedit, allow execution
• · (Important, export the current registry setting) Right click on Computer and export the registry setting.
• · Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"
• · On the right hand side pane, doubleclick on key named "Wallpaper"
• · Change the path of the picture you want to use as your wallpaper (example path is "C:\temp\mywallpaper.jpg")
• · Right-click on the "Desktop" folder in left pane click Permissions. Click "Advanced"
• · Go to "Owner" tab, highlight your name in the box that says 'Change owner to' ( There are only two choices the other is Administrator )... once your user name is highlighted click "OK"
• · Click on "Advanced" again then Uncheck the button that reads "Include inheritable permissions from the object's parent"... click "Remove" when prompted
• · Click "Add". Type "Everyone" and click "OK". Check Allow "Read Control" and click "OK". Click "OK" again
• · Highlight "Everyone" and check to Allow "Read" and click "OK"
• · Restart Computer

Welcome to fix ya

If your system is running windows 7 try this

1. right click on the desktop and click personalize.



2. click on desktop background

3. choose your desired wallpaper then click apply.

hope this helps

Yes you can. Right click on an empty spot on your desktop. In the flyout window it will say - depending on which operating system you have ie windows vista - "personalize" or graphic properties etc. Click there. If you get the right one ie "personalize" in vista you will see "desktop background" on the list. Click on it. Then you can pick the picture/wallpaper you wish to have on your desktop.

You can also get to the same place by going through CONTROL PANEL and clicking on PERSONALIZE and change it on DESKTOP BACKGROUND there.

Click with the SECOND (usually the RIGHT) mouse-button away on that background.
Click Properties.
Click the "Desktop" tab.
Change the "wallpaper".
Click OK.
