  • Satellite A200 - message "your computer is locked.

    First of all, I am a novice.

    Secondly, I have a message on my main screen after opening which reads "Your computer is locked" and I can't do anything with it. I have stopped with the help of the key, closed the lid, control Alt Delete, did all the usual things, but this screen remains! I am running Vista Home Premium. Any advice would be magical.
    Thanks in advance,
    JayneM

    Go into Windows and check the power settings in the Control Panel, it can be programmed to lock the screen or enter mode sleep when you close the lid.

    If there is a bad driver or software installed, it may cause problems with sleep mode.

    Hello

    ·        What are the steps that you took form of Blizzard Technical Support forums?

    Follow the steps mentioned below.

    Method 1:

    It may be that some third-party software is causing this problem. Perform a clean boot and see if the problem is resolved.

    If you can boot in safe mode, then I suggest you perform a clean boot.

    1. click on Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start The System Configuration utility.

    2. on the general tab click Selective startup , and then click to clear the check box loadstartup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

    3. on the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click disable all

    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    2. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart

  • I'm having a redemption code that goes into problem.  I can enter numbers, but when I try to enter all the letters it is as if the computer is locked, but he is not on any other application

    I'm having a problem entering my redemption code.  You can enter numbers but no letters.  It's as if the computer is locked when I try.  My letters work on any other application

    Looks like you are trying to use a (alphanumeric) redemption code where you are supposed to use a serial number (strictly digital).  A purchase is normally used to purchase a serial number... serial number is what you enter to activate the software.

    If so, you can connect to another account and change the password of the user account that you are currently facing this problem with.
    If you have a password reset disk or another account that has administrator rights, you can think to reset the password.

  • MY COMPUTER GUARD LOCK UP TO 5 - 10 TIMES A DAY. LINES DIAGONALS IN A VARIETY OF BACKGROUNDS COLORFUL WHEN CELA SE PRODUCT.

    My computer continues to be locked.  When this happens there are diagonal wavy lines (bottom left to top right) on screen.  This happens 5-10 times a day.  I have to press the button power 5-7 seconds to power off the coast.  The diagonal lines are different colors, with different colored backgrounds.  There is no consistency in the colors.  They range from red to orange to blue to white.  I'm ready to throw it off the roof!

    Various colored lines are usually an indication of a problem either with your graphics drivers or a graphics card fault.

    Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    If the above does not fix it: try changing the graphics card, if a desktop computer.
