  Hi oumzin

  
  1. have you modes sleep or hibernation, working on the computer?
  2. during how long have you had this problem?
  3. what changes did you do before the show?
  4. do you have the question start after the installation of service pack 2?

  Method 1:

  You can check if the problem happens again in safe mode. In safe mode; you have access to only the drivers and base files.
  Check out the link to start the computer in safe mode and then check-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

   

  Method 2:

  If you are not faced with the question in safe mode, then you can check in a clean boot state. To perform the clean boot follow step 1 mentioned in the article below, and then try again check in the clean boot state -

• After using Facebook for a while a mousemat gray screen comes up and covers the window that prevents me to post something, but I can still scroll up/down

  A gray transparent screen covers my open window Facebook keeps me to post, but I can still scroll vertically. Reload the page solves the problem for a few minutes before repeating the procedure. Problem with the Facebook Page right now.

  Hi Hannesdp,

  Thank you for your question. Right now, your question was refitted to the Helpdesk and to examine the issue, I will need a little more troubleshooting information.

  First please try to access the page in a private window, and then try to reproduce the problem in Mode safe, if it is not reproducible in Mode without failure, then one of the extension or pug-ins can affect scripts on this page.

  "Try Mode without failure of Firefox to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.
  

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
  • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  A screenshot of the problem and a screenshot of console js may also be necessary if the problem persists in a private window. These are the two reference tools that I can clarify as well.

  Photoshop CC was supposed to be able to use without an internet connection if I worked online at least once a month...

  I tried to work offline at home after working online for a while. The sign came and wrote

  «No Internet connection / - and the options have been - try again or continue offline "and I could not work no prob. by choosing «continue in offline mode»

  However, I've used photoshop for a few hours yesterday and I brought my laptop home from my photographer friend to share the work of editing... and I couldn't open Photoshop.

  "The network is not connected TRYagain.

  It was the only option, does not allow me to continue offline...

  You have an idea why I couldn't?

  An Internet connection is required the first time you install and your creative Cloud of license applications.

  You can use the applications in offline mode, but must be online from time to time to validate your software licenses. Please see this link for more details: CC help | Creative cloud / Common Questions

• After the upgrade from Office 2007 to Ofice 2010 on my Vista, then my computer turns off after being idle for a while.

  After upgrade Office 2007 to Office 2010 on my Vista, then my computer turns off after being idle for a while. When I turn on my computer, I get the splash screen indicating that Windows has finished unexpectedly and I would like to start in safe mode or normally (pluss a couple more choice...).

  Appears not to occur if there is activity going on--as if do me some work or have itunes playing music or I'm just surfing the internet. Curiously, it seems not to happen if I close Internet Explorer and Outlook.

  I shot all automatic updates for Windows Vista (32 bit) and Microsoft Office.

  Hi B Odd Andersen,

  I want to clarify if your computer seems to be sleeping or it completely closed after being idle for a while.

  Method 1: If the computer is in power saving mode, check if you can wake the computer from this State by moving the mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard.

  Method 2: Change the power to another and check to see if the problem persists
  Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme)

  Method 3: check the logs in event viewer for more information on auto-off down

  Open event viewer

  What are the information in event logs? (Event Viewer)

  Note: For your safety and security, it is not recommended to disable Windows Update.
  Activate the update or disable automatic

• I have Windows Vista and you need to install Windows XP Home Edition. Vista doesn't let me. What can I do? I need XP for my Quick Books program in order to make books. Please help me.

  This computer was given to me by my kids.  I had with Windows Vista already installed.  I also want to install Windows XP to my Quick Books program.  Vista will not let me install XP.  Can you help me?

  Hello

  You don't say how you are trying to install XP and if the manufacturer of your computer has XP drivers available for this purpose to activate XP to be installed and run successfully on this subject.

  You will need to go to their website where there should be a section to see if they have XP drivers for your model computer.

  If they have XP drivers available for it, follow the instructions in these links provided in its response to dual boot Vista and XP:

  http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm

  http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-1946.html

  I prefer the Instructions in the second link.

  Here's another consideration on the use of the XP Compatibility Mode in Vista for QuickBooks, but as I don't use QuickBooks, you will need to request support QuickBooks if it would work in this way.

• locking the computer: if not using computer for a while, it locks and requires the initial password to get in

  So do not use computer for a while, it locks and requires the initial password to get back in. When it becomes available, we've been thrown off internet, or another program we are.

  I don't know why Mr. Murphy suggested a system restore. Maybe he interpreted your post differently I did. You have your screen standby/power options defined on too short a time. You can also disable the requirement for a password during the recovery.

  Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and click on personalize. To customize the applet opens. Click the screen saver. Change the timeout to something reasonable like 10 or 20 minutes. You will see where you can clear the check box next to the "password required on curriculum vitae... ».

  Now do the same in the (Control Panel) Power Options applet. This link contains pictures showing you how to disable this option:
