Windows 7 Starter Custom Background Wallpaper
This screencast will show you how to easily change your Windows 7 Starter background wallpaper for your netbook.
You need Samurize to get Custom Background Wallpapers on your PC running Windows 7Starter.To install Samurize on windows 7 you need to run in Win XP (SP2) mode. You need to right-click on installation file and select ‘troubleshoot compatibility’ to then run in win xp (sp2) mode. Using Serious Samurize (Samurize.com) you can edit your desktop by embedding an image, text file or widget.
As you may or may not know, Microsoft have restricted the Windows 7 Starter Operating system by forcing you to only have their wallpapers. Their image files have encryption applied to them and therefore you cannot change them by simply replacing the files.
awesome tutorial and easy to use software lets see if it doesnt fry my netbook in the future
im having the same problem others are having. is it possible to keep desktop icons on top -or- even better, is there a download somewhere that will give me a tray at the bottom? kinda like what mac has
yes. how exactly does one maintain control of the desktop. all i have is a blown up image covering all the goods.
where did you get the wallpaper at the begining
Thanks for your video, worked perfectly. Can you tell me how to keep toolbar & icons on top of the wallpaper/image, thanks.
put it in the startup folder
how did you get the bluetooth…like what is located in your system tray…because i have windows 7 and i dont have bluetooth
hey i have a qestion ..i’m not very good at pc and stuff but i was wondering about the toolbar …i have a windows 7 starter on a netbook and i don’t have that, do you put that yourself or wath? pls give me a repsponse and tell me how can i have one of those pls
hey i was trying to download samurize but i wont let me because its win 7 starter of course but when i go to change to xp mode in the properties of the file the only thing that pops up is the tap label general!?!? so where is the file that i am supposed to use?
increase your virual memory space, i have a 250g hdd and i set it so im using about 4g’s for virtual memory
i’ve tried this config,and it was really helpful…but unfortunately,when i start my laptop again,the wallpaper disappear…is that mean i have to make it again and again everytime i open my laptop?..thanx..!!fyi,i’ve save it like u did in that video..
type in ‘mirrors edge wallpaper’ into google images and it should come up eventually:]
no problem
Tanks!!!
its from the game “mirrors edge“ google it and you`ll find it
What wallpaper is the one with the girl on top of the building, used at the end of the video as wallpaper on windows?
Tanks!!!!
While doing this does work, it seems to slow down everything graphically and puts a load on the cpu if youre moving anything around. Moving the Task Manager around with an overlayed wallpaper, is alot slower than without it.
right click the icon on the taskbar . it should look like a little grey ‘s’ .
what do you mean right click the icon?
if it comes up covering your desktop icons, yu have to drag it so you can access the icon yu right-clicked.
right click the icon then click on “Position”
then click on “Pin to Desktop”
yu should be able to see your icons.
hope it helps (:
thank you soooo much for making this video! this ACTUALLLY WORKS PEOPLEE !

i did notice that it is not a actual background it overlaps the windows back ground and by that u cant clik on your desktops now i have to clik the windows key on my key board but still better than seen a lame back ground

At the beginning of the video I saw you have on the bottom screen your browsers and etc. Is there a way to get that to pop up? or is it just a hp netbook?
