It is also my last windows os. I have considered learning Linux for a long time just because I thought it valuble to know another OS. The time has come. I'm putting it on my old laptop and once comfortable with it, I'll replace this numb nutz W7*r crap. I agree with one of the posters – Windows 7 starter is a non-starter.

Maybe im doing it all wrong, i think i need more detailed instrustions, if there is at all anyway to do this, if not, no big deal, but should i just return this damn netbook and save for a better one?

In trying to apply the workarounds, my windows genuine status was called into question. I LITERALLY HAD TO USE THE RECOVERY PARTITION BECAUSE OF M$ STUPIDITY!!!!!!!!!! I may try Ubuntu on the netbook or mandriva. Come on Microsoft. Do the right thing and let people at least change their desktop image for crying out loud. I should NOT have to upgrade to ultimate or premium for that simple thing. I too am frustrated by this ridiculous limitation.

There are some applications that might be important to yoou (e.g., Kodak Easyshare software) that you simply cannot run with it. Clearly, it is another idiotic, inferior product from our friends at MS; expect a wonderful series of Justin Long commercials making fun of it.

New path must be 100 per cent spot on or you will get black screen. It took me 5 attempts due to missing out a forward slash. You can get exact path by clicking on photo thumnail to use, then right click,properties then securities it will be written near to top. Dont forget JPG on end. You will have to have an Administrator account type to perform the op. Mabel
