Netbook Q&A

I recently got a Sony netbook, its the small one, like 10" screen, and i can’t find an option to change the background to a picture, I can only change the color. My husband has a bigger laptop with windows 7 and has a "personalize" option. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
I tried right-clicking on the image, I don’t have the option of setting it as the desktop. I looked at the Windows website, and none of their suggestions exist in my computer.

I made the mistake of turning my netbook off during updates. (I didn’t want the updates) Now it keeps rebooting over and over. Can’t get past the Windows XP home screen. Can’t load into safe mode. Tries to and reboots again from the Windows XP home screen. So, I can’t even network my computer with my laptop to use it as an optical drive because i can’t get the netbook to boot up.

I’m thinking about getting an Android netbook, or maybe a tablet when they are released (The iPad is too restricted and too expensive). What software will I need to watch movies on it, does Android have a built in player and if not how much does it cost to buy one?
Oh, and what would I need to encode the movies on my PC?

I recently got this netbook and installed windows 7 in it (and I haven’t made any kind of modifications, it’s the specs that are on the box). But it’s kind of laggy even with just flash games and youtube. Is there a way to fix this? Should I upgrade the video card (if it’s even possible) or the ram?

Really appreciate any help and input. Thank you!

I need a little suggestion regarding what would be the best antivirus to use on my Acer Aspire One netbook. (260 GB HD, 1 GB RAM). The McAfee Antivirus that was provided with it is not a very good software, I must say. So I need a better alternative. If anyone is using Acer Aspire one netbook, please do leave some suggestions for me.
