Let me guess, you are using a netbook with Windows 7? I say this as the Windows 7 Starter Edition installed on netbooks does not allow for desktop themes, configuration etc.

Yes i have a netbook with windows 7, so thats it i cant get any different backgrounds? Is there something i can do?

Nope, Windows 7 Starter Edition has desktop customisation taken out. As far as I am aware there is no workaround other than to explore the use of third party desktop customisation/theme tools such as Windows Blinds and the like.
