Desktop Background Wallpaper - Change in Windows 7 Starter

I have a brand new Asus EeePC bought for my daughters birthday next week.

I have tried installing, uninstalling & re-installing the Oceanis program but like Syren it keeps reverting to the default screen after a re-boot.

I have checked the Tips & warnings but these seem OK as its a new computer.

I tried uninstalling (and then got a Microsoft background), after re-installing I got the Asus background. It changed OK to my background after running Oceanis but then re-set to the Asus background after a re-boot.

Any help would be apreciated.

Cheers

OOPS - I have just found the same (or very similar) program already installed under "Eee Tools" - "System Setting"

Problem solved :)

Hello Gnimble, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Yes, go ahead and add the Oceanis program to that user's startup folder to see if it the background will stay afterwards when you restart. :)

Yeah, you will have the UAC prompt at startup for a standard user.

I agree, the Starter edition is just bit to stripped down.

Hi Brink,

As with the other people who've had a similar problem, I'm able to change the background in Oceanis, but when I click "save," it disappears and the program closes. Here's what I've done so far in an attempt to sort it out:

1) uninstalled and reinstalled Oceanis--and restarted properly.
2) confirmed that I have no 3rd party theme or skin (the netbook is brand new)
3) set my User Account Control to the lowest level
4) attempted to run the program as an administrator

Everything is done according to the steps given but till I experienced difficulty in the 5th step.

5) made sure the "turn off all unnecessary animations" box was unchecked in the Ease of Acess Center. ( I uncheck both "turn off all unnecessary animations" as well as "removed background images" but my changes could not be applied to my HP mini 210 despite trying it for countless time.

I realise I am the only one experiencing this problem so far, please help!


EDIT:
the additional information that I want to provide is that, I did check the "turn off all unnecessary animations" box earlier on however when I want to uncheck it, the changes couldn't be applied.

SO I am guessing that the problem should be something wrong with my notebook and the window itself right?

Please kindly help me!I would really greatly appreciate your assistance in this! . I am getting all vexed up with this as I have been trying to fix this for more than 8 hours but to no avail

thanks :)

Hello Ivy,

It may be something specific to your HP mini 210 netbook. We will have to see if others with the same one are having the same problem or not.

No, it may not if it's an included app or some special OEM function that came with the netbook that is causing the Oceanis program to not work for you.
