• Can't change the wallpaper on windows 7 ultimate x 64

  I can't change it via the Customize menu (I choose other wallpapers, but the new wallpaper is not displayed).  I also tried to change my custom theme default theme and still does not change the wallpaper.  It also does not work when I get clickl on an image and select use as background. (my account is a type of admin)

  However I change it when I use the local and updated Group Policy Editor 1 default wallpaper for all accounts.

  But when I create a new user and try to change its desktop background it works.

• Impossible to change the wallpaper in Windows 7 Starter.

  original title: Windows 7 Starter wallpaper!

  Seriously one you can't change the wallpaper on Windows 7 starter. Of course, that I understand that this version of Windows is expected to be very light on has to run smoothly on netbooks... but F---ing screen? Microsoft remembers that they always write operating systems right? My dinosaur, Nokia cell phone from 5 years ago allow you to change the wallpapers.  They left the gadget feature but no background screen! This really proves to me that Microsoft has absolutely no idea of what they do.  Windows 7 comes on just about all netbook now from this current holiday season.  So here's my question... Why would anyone want a netbook windows 7 when XP (earlier than prior windows operating system 7) had more features it does? Apple is looking for better and better. I don't even have a netbook for Christmas, and even though I really wanted one, I'm very happy that I don't have. I'm not going to get one at all now if its windows 7 on it.  I'll wait for the Apple tablet, and that's all.  What do you mean Microsoft?

  Hello socratesman,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  In Windows 7 Starter, you are not allowed to change the wallpaper. You can't even replace the image by default by another because the system compares the hash of file of your background desired with the hash of the file of the default wallpaper.

  You need to upgrade to a more full version of Windows 7:

• How can I change the language of Windows Vista on Satellite A300-1CO

  last summer, I was in the Portugal and I bought a laptop Toshiba A300-1CO in hopes that we can to change the language to English or Roman without reinstalling Windows.

  Can someone help me?

  Hey Buddy

  Unfortunately, this is not possible.
  It s a Portuguese Vista OS preinstalled and you cannot change the language.
  If you want to use an English Vista the you must buy an original Vista operating system in the English language.

  If you want to use the Vista Enterprise and Ultimate for Vista, then you can download a Pack of MUI (MUI).
  But as a Home Premium user, you can use the interface (MUI).

• Cannot add the payment method that I can't change the country in Windows store information field.

  Hello

  I want to buy an app in the store windows using my credit card.  I found the section where I can add payment options.  It's all good and Nice, the only problem is that I can't change the country for when I'm in my credit card information.  It is a static field set to the United States.  Fill in the information because I live in the Canada.  If you can let me know if this is something I could do wrong.

  LinkHero

  I discovered what the problem is.  I don't know when this happens or what it is connected to.  As far as I know is if you go in '-> Panel-> clock, language and region change the location ' then change the "location:" in your country.  You should be able to add the payment method.

  Now, it worked for me and I'm guessing that this setting is set by default to the States.  Don't know why it is not requested in the installation where you live, but I guess they have there reasons.

• How can I change the software from windows to mac?

  I use a MAC, but already bought my design from adobe creative suite standard for a windows computer. Is it possible that I can change the licenses from windows to MAC, so I can continue to use it without having to pay for another sequel?

  They only allow swaps of platform for the latest version.  CS6 would be the last, but I don't know if they still offer the opportunity to Exchange.  You can apply and see.  Click on the following link:

• Can't change my screen resolution - Windows 8 PRO

  I have computer LAPTOP Compaq Presario A900 in which I installed Windows 8 Pro. After the installation, I'm not able to change my screen resolution. When I right click on the desktop, and then select the screen resolution, it is written in the resolution 1024 x 768 (recommended)box. I can't change the screen resolution. In Device Manager, I tried to update my Generic PnP Monitor driver, it says that your driver is up to date.

  This Device Manager cannot find generic drivers.  I recommend go to the Compaq website and download all the drivers for your model laptop (same drivers you already have, bring here to ensure that you have the latest version of the non-generic), but above all, including the graphics driver.

  Team blog product Microsoft Update: Windows Update and restarting automatic http://blogs.technet.com/mu/archive/2008/10/02/windows-update-and-automatic-reboots.aspx

  Change how Windows installs or informs you about updates http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates>

  If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

  You can change the setting "notify only". Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded updates are installed commandeLorsque, which they are installed.

  I prefer "Notify only" setting.

  When they are installed.

  What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

  While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live [as well as Silverlight & Microsoft Security Essentials]. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

  Source: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/FAQ.mspx>

  If you disable Microsoft Update, your default update source is "reversed" update of Windows, but it does NOT neutralize automatic updates.
