Windows Vista - stuck on logging off the screen
I have this same problem with Vista Home Premium that others have had. When I tried to shut down the computer laptop last night, he is stuck at logging off-page - with the active circle always renewable. After 20 minutes or so I was tired so close by using the power button. This morning when I turned on the laptop, he went to the same page of disconnection. 3 hours later, it's still there! My technical knowledge is, to say the least, "limited." I tried to open safe restart mode and pressing F8, as suggested on other threads, but which didn't work - I can not go beyond the logging off the screen. How can I solve this?
I had the same problem... This method works.
Turn on the computer and when the screen shows recovery Windows press the space key.
You will be presented with 2 options - either to continue with system resume or to remove the Hibernation file and start with primer system - choose the second option - you're fixed!

When I connect to AOL my Windows XP automatically restarts. The strange thing is that this isn't it every time, but most of the time.
Hi bill1106,
1. not the problem only occurs when signing off the coast of AOL?
2. you receive an error message?
3. when all the updates is correctly installed on the computer?
It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

NB520, NB550D - how swich off the screen immediately?
I can't find "function key" to switch off the screen immediately...
Don't mess this with past to standby or hibernation state. I just need to swich off the screen during some computer work (to save battery life) or hide the view of someone who comes to me :)Hi communication,
Such a combination of keys is not available to immediately turn off the screen.
But what you can do to save the batteries setting screen brightness dimmed in Windows power options. There you can set the brightness of the screen dimmed to 10% for example and display dim after 2 or 3 minutes. :)

Installed a wireless network adapter by using what I think was the wrong driver. Cannot remove properly. At the time my mouse and Window Media Player begins to act.

Program opens off the screen in a multiple monitor on Windows XP configuration
Original title: I URGENTLY need help with an XP several problem of monitor!
Our company has recently migrated to a new office and I got stuck with the displacement of all the computer systems to the new office. To make a long story short, one of our employees use four 4 monitors. After many difficulties, I finally got the monitors working as a horizontal screen with scrolling smoothly from left to right.
However, I have a BIG problem. One of the programs of this employee uses disappears (flies off the screen right most) when maximized. I can bring it by moving to the right screen, but I can't understand how to do that a permanent solution. ANYONE - your help would be appreciated. Is it a matter of swapping the screens? It was rather difficult to get properly prepared screens because it did not meet the order, I tried. Anyway, these people are rare flowers and get bent out of shape, if the program opens on the designated window. Is there a way to specify which window it can open on whether it can be remedied at all times?
Thanks in advance
Hi Petrovsky9000,
Have you tried disabling 3 additional screens and then by testing the application? If you need help of deactivation and activation of the monitors, you can use the following as a guide:
http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/Setup/hwandprograms/monitors.mspxIf you always lose the application when the window is maximized, try the following:
- With 1 active display, maximize the application.
- In the display properties window, set the resolution of the single screen for a step down from where it is now and apply the changes.
- Accept the new resolution, and now to see if your application is in the center of the screen.
- Now go ahead and set the resolution to what it was and and apply the changes.
- Make sure the application is always visible and maximized correctly. If so, go ahead and turn the other 3 views and see if everything works properly.
Here are a few steps that solved the problem for my own systems in the past. I hope this helps!Cody C

Hello
I need to disable the ability of application full screen to turn off the screen and start screen saver. Basically just need to it:

A screen saver is a program that, including the screen or filling it with moving images or patterns when the computer is not in use.
Screensaver programs were designed to help avoid these effects by automatically changing the images on the screen during periods of user inactivity.
