By default those are disabled in Windows 7 starter

By default the Windows 7 Starter and Windows 7 Home Basic editions do not include the Personalization features such as change desktop background, Desktop Slideshow, Screen Saver, and Windows Color and Appearance.

Here you can find more about it, and some work arounds. Since I dont have Windows 7 starter, and I cannot check it I will give you a list of programs that will help you with your backgrounds.

You cannot change the desktop background with Windows Starter Edition.

Source Windows 7 Starter- what are the limitations? :

Windows 7 Starter does not include:

  • Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the Windows Basic or other opaque themes. It also means you do not get Taskbar Previews or Aero Peek.
  • Personalization features for changing desktop backgrounds, window colors, or sound schemes.
  • The ability to switch between users without having to log off.
  • 64 bit version
  • Multi-monitor support.
  • DVD playback.
  • Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.
  • Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, videos, and recorded TV from your home computer.
  • Domain support for business customers.
  • XP Mode for those that want the ability to run older Windows XP programs on Windows 7.
