People who have a solid grasp of code basics can learn to use DW in a weekend.  Seriously, DW is not hard to use.   But if you can't work with HTML, CSS (and to a lesser extent JavaScript), the learning curve is very steep.  

My advice is to spend a weekend doing code tutorials first.  In the long run, you'll be mighty glad you did .

See CSS background property

What you want is fixed.

Example:

body {

     background: url(some_image.jpg) center center fixed;

I tried that just now and my background disappeared.  When I removed the center center fixed; it came back.

You probably used the background-image property instead of just plain background.

It makes a difference.

For backgrounds it is always best to use longhand until you are comfortable coding. It is also a good idea because Dreamweaver is not nearly as friendly a CSS editor as Front Page was. Using shorthand will often leave you HAVING to code CSS manually as the so-called CSS Designer panel will drive you nuts. So, this would work:

body {

     background-image: url(some_image.jpg);

     background-position: whatever you want;

     background-attachment: fixed;

     background-size: use cover if you want the image to fill the screen;

}

I accidentally stumbled across this code background-attachment: fixed; and it worked.

Yes I did.  There is defiantly an extreme learning curve to this program.
