Why can't I use Personalization in Win7 to change desktop pictures?
It's there, but does not work. Why even put that option if its useless?

Hi PocketG,
Are you using Windows 7 Starter? If so, then unfortunately desktop background personalization is not a feature available to you. Here's some more information: Let’s talk about Windows 7 Starter

It says Windows 7 Home Premium at startup if that makes a difference.

Yes. I can change the pictures but can't change the size to fit or center and so on.

I can change my desktop photos now but I have to learn how to get them to fit the screen or use the tile, fit to screen and so on option. Why do they evn put that in the Personalization if I can not use it? Is there an update or something to correct this issue? Now since I started resaerching this, it's a question that thosands of other have.

There is a known issue with HP computers in which the desktop background cannot be changed from Stretch (i.e. the Fit-to-Screen, Center, and Tile options don't work). HP has released a fix, which is available here: Fix: Cannot Change Wallpaper Picture Position to Tile or Center in HP/Compaq PCs Running Windows 7 - The Winhelponline Blog
Let us know if that helps.
