"Change the graphics card" spam message when you are connected to the AC adapter / CC

Normally, I run my laptop computer Alienware 17 dedicated graphics processor NVIDIA with integrated graphics off. However, I've recently been submerged do with the following message will be displayed that plugged my AC adapter: "switch of graphics card. "For the life of optimal dough, press Fn + F5 to switch to the integrated graphics card (a system Reboot is required).

I noticed this a couple of days, because as soon as I plug my adapter by practicing a game (for example, the Lord of the Rings Online) my fps drops dramatically. I realized that if I tap ctrl + alt + delete as the above message keeps popping up. If I close the message in a new guard burst until I have unplug the power adapter.

To my knowledge, it is normal that the message appears when the plug/unplug the power adapter for the first time, but I can't understand why it is me spamming with this message even after I close it at the start. I tried to update my NVIDIA graphics card, have changed again my computer of the discrete graphics integrated graphics and back to the integrated graphics card, have made sure that NVIDIA is selected as my discrete graphics and have updated my BIOS. None of them help.

If anyone knows what's going on or if there is a way to disable this notification, I would really appreciate it!

PS My power adapter works fine (it is not loose or damaged) and I ran diagnosis at startup which showed all systems running 100%.

After much further research, I was able to find a way to disable the notification.

Windows + R, type msconfig, then click on the Startup tab to open the Task Manager and disable the display on-screen Alienware. Restart the computer, and the popup no longer appears.

  • Why the last OS update cost me gigabytes of data when you are connected directly to my computer and ISP via Itunes February 29, 2016

    Why the last OS update cost me gigabytes of data when you are connected directly to my computer and ISP via Itunes.  29 February 2016

    While it is connected to ITunes via my Dell system, I was informed of the latest OS update for my IPhone 6.  I decided that the direct connection to the internet would be the fastest way to download and install the software.  During the process I started to have some warning of our AT & T account that I approach the limit of our data plan, then in quick succession, only warnings, said I've reached the limit and then passed in the data, limit charges.  At the time it was done, I had accumulated more than 2 gigabytes of additional data charges.

    Until that point, I was very pleased with the device and confident in the ability to use Wifi and data.  Due to this incident, I became very suspicious of the camera and the huge potential for data overcharges. It is extremely disconcerting as it happened while it is directly connected to the internet using my computer at home.

    Please note that, in the episode my ISP and the computer is remained connected to the WEB with no sign of connectivity issues.

    Someone at - he had a similar experience and understand what went wrong?

  • Internet goes when you are connected to wifi

    Bought an iMac on eBay this week, works fine apart from a problem I encounter with internet stall, which really starts to get boring!

    It's an iMac, mid-2011, with OS X el Capitan 10.11.3 installed and put to update to the most recent update.

    The question...

    When you are connected to our home network (Sky Broadband) I get internet access for 5 minutes for an hour then stop him internet but the wifi is connected. At this point if I check all other computers/phones/tablets on the network that they are all still connected to the internet with absolutely no problem.

    The temporary solution...

    If I disable the wifi on my iMac and then back on again once it reconnects immediately and internet works fine still a time - until it stops!

    What I tried...

    Restart the mac repeatedly

    Restarted the router again

    In network settings, advanced on the mac, I renewed the DHCP lease (loads of times - note it always seems to come back with exactly the same ip address - I guess it's good?), updated the DNS (last post I read said to use 2.4.4.2 so am currently on that), tried to manually set the MTU to 1453, I deleted all the other networks stored outside my home network Too much.

    Does anyone have any suggestions please for all messages that have worked for them, or things that I could try?

    Thanks a lot for your help

    You can use the cmdlet Copy-DatastoreItem but there are a few known issues with this cmdlet when the current generation.

    Or you can use the underlying CopyDatastoreFile_Task method.

    Note that you need to copy all the files (header & flat file) that make up a vDisk yourself!

  • Why do I get the access denied error message when you are logged in as administrator?

    "Error" failed to create the file 'C:\Windows\Fonts\[font name]. " Access is denied. "

    is received when I try to install a font by being logged on as administrator (I'm the only person who uses this)
    computer with password protection guest no account)

    or when I use WinZip the fonts folder is not available

    The fonts folder is blocked with a "read-only" access  I can't find any way to change the permissions on the folder (there is no security tab), and any attempt to change the status of reading is has met an insufficient privileges error message.  I notice that the fonts have been added during the last few days several times but I have nothing personally for it - he did alone (how I don't know).  I admit be baffled by your inability to add fonts using your CD (even though I'm reasonably sure it's read-only permission which is at the origin of the problem). I use Vista Business SP2 32-bit and my comments were based on it.  I never really tried to install fonts on my system, so I don't know if I would have the same problem - I presume that I would give for the same reasons.  The article I posted http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Install-or-uninstall-fonts explains how to install individual fonts in formats of special fonts - it does not how to do when you use a CD with an install button.  Have you tried right-clicking on the button install to see if it brings up the run as Administrator option (it probably won't)?  Here is another article on how to install fonts: http://www.lytebyte.com/2007/07/03/how-to-install-new-fonts-in-windows-vista/.  If you link to the CD player will be able to see the individual fonts and "select all" or according to which you want to install - instead of using the installation with the CD button (if you can find the right folder (s)).  Here is an article from third on the installation of the http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-vista/how-to-install-fonts-in-vista/ fonts that suggests using the install button should work as should drag / drop it into the fonts folder - thought we seem to be having trouble with these procedures (and I think he did the permissions block which I can't imagine why he's here or why there is no security tab allows you to adjust).

    Maybe someone with more knowledge (like Engineer Support or an MVP) see this thread and respond with a solution.  In the meantime, I'm puzzled.

  • WLAN speed when you are connected to the internet

    I use WRT54G2 V1 Wireless Router. My firmware version is 1.0.04)is.

    I connect to the internet via ADSL.

    Both computers are connected to the router, we have a connection cable, other is connected wireless.

    If I'm not connected to the internet, I can transfer files between them through 1.5MB/s-2MB/s. But, if I'm connected to the internet, the speed drops to 100 KB/s - 200 KB/s. My adsl connection has a bandwidth of 1 Mbps (about 128 KB/s).

    Has anyone faced similar problem? No idea what to do?

    You said that you receive the Internet wireless at 100-200 Kbps (kilobytes per second), but I guess you're saying 100 to 200 Kbps (kilobits per second).  If you actually get 100 to 200 Kbps, so it is faster than your reported 1 Mbps line speed.

    A wireless connection is more important than a wired connection.  If most users, when connected wireless, get only about 50% to 70% of their wire speed.  So I'm expecting a 1 Mbit/s connected to the Internet, you should be able to get 500 to 700 kbps (kilobits per second) = approximately 50 to 70 Kbps (kilobytes per second) when connected wireless.

    When you file transfer from computer to computer on your local network, your speed is limited by 54 Mbps Wireless g your connection speed, which can provide a data rate up to 20 to 25 Mbit/s.  It is clearly much faster that your 1 Mbit/s to the Internet can provide data.  So that explains why the transfer of files on your local network is much faster than your wireless Internet connection.

    So, the only real problem I see is that your speed of your WAN (Internet) port to the wireless local area network computer seems to be slow.  The most common cause of this problem, is the default to reset the router by default after a firmware update.

    If you did not reset to the factory settings since the last update of the firmware, please do it now and see if it solves your problem.  After the reset, you must configure the router again from scratch.  If you have saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

    To reset your router by default, follow these steps:

    (1) turn off all computers, the router and the modem and disconnect from the wall.
    (2) disconnect all the wires of the router.
    (3) turn on the router and let it start up completely (1-2 minutes).
    (4) press in and hold the reset for 30 seconds button, then release it, then let the router reset and restart (2-3 minutes).
    (5) turn the router.
    (6) connect a computer cable to port 1 of the router (NOT to the internet port).
    (7) turn on the router and let it start up completely (1-2 minutes).
    (8) the power of the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it's off).
    (9) try ping on the router. To do this, click the 'Start' button > all programs > Accessories > command prompt. A black DOS window will appear. Enter the following text: "ping 192.168.1.1" (without the quotes) and press the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that begin with ' response to... ". "or"Request timed out". If you see "reply from...". ", your computer has found your router.
    (10) open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to the login page of your router. Leave the user name blank and in the password field, enter "admin" (without the quotes). This will take you to your router configuration page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually found near upper right corner of the screen). Exit your browser.

    If you get this day without problem, try the Setup disk (or configure the router manually, if you prefer) and see if you can get your work and router configuration.

    If you can not ' response to... ". "in step 9 above, your router is probably dead. A report with this problem

    If you get a response in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, is that your router is dead or the firmware is damaged. Related to this issue.

    If you need additional assistance, please indicate your ISP, the make and model of your modem, the firmware version of your router and the results of steps 9 and 10. In addition, if you receive error messages, copy them exactly, and report.

    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Windows 7 - why the priority of network adapter is ignored when you are connected to the area on a lower priority NIC?

    I have two network cards installed on my laptop.  I wanted to test and see how Windows 7 Ultimate managed the priority of the network adapters so I connected to a small Internet (NIC B) router, and the other on my domain (NIC A).
    First of all, it was a pain to find network adapter priority.  After some research and fun Google I found this.  Unfortunately, the search bar has not helped.
    Control Panel-> network and Internet-> view network status and tasks-> to modify the adapter-> Hold down 'alt' to bring up the menu "File"-> select 'Advanced'-> select 'Advanced settings' in the menu drop-down-> adjust your priorities of the adapter in the 'Advanced settings' window, under the tab "maps and links.

    With "B NIC", defined as the highest priority, I tried to browse the internet.  It was impossible to travel.  Then I disabled 'NIC A' (the NIC domain) and I can browse the internet.  Windows XP he handled this much better.

    Select 'NIC A', and then check 'NIC B' is the highest priority.  Then try tracert on www.google.com.  It refreshes my domain as the first hop router.  It seems to be completely ignoring 'NIC B', unless I have disable 'NIC A' completely.

    In case someone of another Vienna here, looking for the answer to this, as I did, I thought that putting the real solution to this question.  Many web pages say to change the priority of going on network connections and change the order there to what you like.  You don't have to bother with this setting.

    It does not work. He has apparently no effect on the use of connections.

    What Windows actually uses is the metric value for network connections.  The lowest metric value is tried first.  In my case, I have a connection broadband shabby home, but I can attach wireless on my phone for occasional good bandwidth.  So, I want to always use the connected wireless and ignore the wired connection, but still the chance to printers and other things on my network cable at the same time.  I want to keep both on and not to disable the wired when I use my phone.

    To resolve this problem for real, go to and right click your Wi-wired adapters and one at a time to change the properties.  Select IPv4, click and then .  For each of them, disable the "Automatic metric" checkbox and set the metric value manually.  I put the wireless cable and 1-2, which gave me the behavior I wanted.

    The Automatic metric is defined by Windows based on the speed of connection and a wired connection is generally faster than a wireless one.

  • Satellite Pro L300D started crashing when you are connected to the projector

    Hi all, I have a Satellite Pro L300D, have since January. In March of this year, it developed a problem.
    He began to turn the power on and off screen until I got the blue screen of death and had to reboot the laptop, also BIOS crashed. He was sent to Toshiba and got sorted.

    I use the laptop in the Church for the presentation to the powerpoint, we use a projector that connects to the video output on the laptop, but it has now begun to crash whenever I connect the projector to your laptop.

    Can I use the powerpoint, switch to the view of presenters and show the presentation of 30 minutes, then the screen goes black for about a second, the laptop and the projector off, then when they come again, I get a message saying that the display driver has been restarted, little after that the screen turns off, and then market / stop about six times before that I get the BSOD.

    Also, if I show a clip AVI or video during the presentation, it will crash soon after or even before its done.

    Have updated the drivers for laptop, I always get a message stating all the drivers are up to date and I am quite at a loss to know what to do next.

    To be honest, I'm so fed up with it that I am almost to the point of buying an Apple Mac Pro and away from Windows-based computers all together, my friends have macs and they never have any problem.

    Someone at - it an idea on what could be the problem?

    RGS
    James

    Hello James

    Can you please tell me what mode you are using for the presentation?
    Is that what this duplication mode (the same image on the LCD screen and the external device) or something else?
    Do you have problems if you use the single external device (LCD screen is OFF)?

    Movie files can be problematic if you run on laptops LCD and try to switch to the external display while the movie is running.

    Now when I close the lid, the laptop switches mode pause.

    I know there is a place to set up, but I'm not.

    Go to "Control Panel" and find "Power Options."

    In the left column, find "closing the cover to choose."
