computer won't stay in stand-by

My computer won't stay in stand-by.  I tried a solution listed on this site: Panel > Device Manager > metwork adapters > right click on the network adapter > properties > power management (tab) > uncheck "allow this device to wake the computer".  When I select the last 'properties' there is no "Power Management" tab - tabs that are on this pop-up window are "Général" 'pilot' "details.  Computer is 5 years old Windows XP.

Thanks for the tips.  My husband just took a glance found the tab power management in the Properties window of the 2nd option under properties of the network adapter - I just tried the first option.

  • computer won't stay asleep or put into hibernation

    I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 on a desktop computer.  I used to leave it on all the time but now I want it to go to sleep or put into hibernation after a few minutes (and stay that way until we want to use it).  I tried to sleep, hibernate and hybrid sleep.  It will turn off, but in a few minutes he returned upward by itself.  Sometimes it seems to scroll, and down every few minutes.

    I read that USB devices can cause this, but only the mouse and keyboard are attached via the USB port.  There are two internal hard drives.

    A thought-

    Check the network and sharing Center

    Some settings of the map change

    A click with the right button on your network adapter

    Select Properties

    Select Configure, then power management

    and make sure that allow this device to wake the computer is not checked?

  • Computer won't sleep

    My computer won't go to sleep at home. On the road, it does exactly what I want - after 5 minutes, he made a screensaver of my photos for 30 min, then falls asleep. Home, that she won't, the screen stays on the home screen forever.  Help!

    I venture a guess that it is running on battery, on the road and connected to the House. You can define things upwards so that the computer handles things like the "sleep mode", etc., differently depending on whether or not it works on battery.

    The first thing you should do is, make sure that your power settings are the way you want.
    To do this:

    Place your mouse over the the battery icon on the taskbar and right click.

    Select "Power Options".

    (You can also access power options through the control panel: start > Control Panel > system and Maintenance > Power Options.)

    According to the plan used on your computer, click on "Change Plan settings".

    As you can see, there are two different columns of parameters here, one battery and one for hip. Make sure that the settings for each column are defined as you wish.
    You can access more advanced options by clicking on the 'change power avancΘs' link. Go through the list of parameters available with care, make adjustments if necessary. Click ok.

    Click "Save".
    If this does not resolve the problem, please let us know.

  • Windows 7 pro 64. The desktop icons won't stay where I put them. After a reboot, the desktop icons are always rearranged.

    I've set up my office while I have the following icons down the left side of the top in the following order: computer, network, System (C), (D) options, reader of DVD (E), trash.

    Whenever I restart my computer, the icons are rearranged as: computer, network, trash, reader of DVD (E), options (D), System (C).

    I don't want to add all the new icons on the desktop, because I know they won't stay where I put them. When I was using XP it would happen only when I changed resolution but with Win 7, it happens every time that I reboot.

    Reorganization of auto desk is off, snap to grid is turned off, sort by has verified. I use two monitors. All the gadgets that I have in my hand right 2ndary monitor are stay in place very well. The icons gives me the problem are on the left side of the left main screen.

    I made an image of my hard drive just after the installation of windows 7 and before to install the drivers of manufacturers and updates of windows.

    Today, I restored this image, reinstalled the drivers from manufacturers and made the updates of windows. The problem seems to have disappeared now.

    I am re-imaging my hard drive after you install the complete driver/updating. I hope I don't need to use it, but I will if I have to. I still don't know what caused it in the first place, but at least now I have an option of fast food if it happens again. I'll recreate the image on the hard drive after all major software install from that time, I have two images. A fundamental right after pilot installations and one after each installation of software.

  • delete a block - my computer won't let me use google chrome as a browser. It indicates that the internet connection is not available.

    When you use the internet, my virus detector asked if I would allow google chrome to download a newer version. I clicked on the decline, and then my internet has stopped working. I finally got back on, but now my computer won't let me use google chrome as a browser. It indicates that the internet connection is not available. I was able to use other browsers, but not Google. I tried disabling my firewall to see if it would work then, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? I'm afraid, that I blocked it somehow. Thank you!!

    original title: fix a black screen

    After turning on the computer, the screen stays black

    It could be that your video settings have been set to a resolution that your monitor does not support.

    You can start mode (repeatedly tap the F8 key during startup key) safe?  Safe mode requires a video resolution supported by all monitors.  If it works, try to change your video resolution settings

  • If my printer USB cable is connected, my computer won't start?

    If the printer is on and the USB port connected.  The computer won't start.  If I turn on the laptop with the USB plugged in and as it starts and then turn on the printer, everything works fine.  Almost ok.  I think I should be able to leave the printer on all the time as I do at work.  Then when I start the computer, the printer is ready.  Every other printer I've ever had worked this way.  Any suggestions?

    Maybe the printer looks like a hard drive (some printers have card readers that make them look like a disk) and the computer attempts to boot from the USB drive instead of the hard drive?  It would be a modification of the settings in the BIOS
