you probably have windows 7 starter. if so, then you can't change the wallpaper.

I have windows seven too, if you save the photo all you have to do is right click your desktop and go to personalize at the bottom of the list, then look at the bottom of the window that opens up and click the words "desktop backround" then click browse and pick your saved photo. Hope this helps!

save the picture you want. Right click on your main desktop. Click properties and click appearance and settings or something and click desktop and click the picture.

You're lucky I use windows 7 too..... All you have to do: 1. Right click on desktop 2. Click Personalize 3. Then Click Desktop Background be sure to save it as a new theme after to avoid doing it again if you loose it! And yes, I know. Windows 7 is just so simple to use that experts just get confused
