    Count down clock on my wall?
    « on: January 29, 2011, 07:53:37 AM »
    is there such thing i can add to my wall like a clock that will count down for something?

    like a gadget i can add to my screen?

    i have already gadgets on my wall like a calender and a map, but i couldnt find a count down clock.

    i have win 7.

    also while im on this thread, i have this mini laptop samsung and i have heard i cant change the wallpaper right?

    when i right click there is no options to change it :-(

    Thank you for your help and advices!!

    First, after googling 'Desktop countdown clock' I found this

    http://www.timeleft.info/desktop-countdown-clock.html

    Second, either right click and choose 'personalise' or find an image you want, then right click it and 'set as desktop background'

      Is it a laptop or a netbook?

      Dont think netbooks have that option, but without more information i couldn't really say!

        Setting wallpaper has nothing to do with whether it's a notebook or a desktop

          The OS doesn't care if it's a notebook or a desktop. Right-click on the desktop - Personalize - Desktop Background

          Windows 7 Starter Edition on netbooks does not allow you to change the desktop background.

          However, if your adamant that you want to change the background there is a program you can download.

          Here is the link and follow the instructions
