    I have a Ferrari One netbook.

    The default desktop background is the ferrari car with a calender.

    When I go to change the desk top (right click, personalise, select a new theme eg window aero) and reboot the computer it starts up again in the Ferrari scheme! Any ideas?

    I've googled and for some reason the window to select all the different themes DOES NOT have an 'Ok' and 'Cancel' button on the bottom right? That's weird!

    Maybe some Acer software is overriding you. Are there any Acer/Ferrari related software that seems to be related to personalizing your computer?

    It shouldn't have one, at least not in Windows 7.

    on previous ferrari's, the wallpaper and sound is a startup entry called ferrariwp.exe

    try unchecking it in msconfig.
