  laptop HP envy using windows8

  I do not set up the administrator when configuring the computer. How can I configure an administrator now?

  By default, the first account created during the setup of the PC is the "Administrator" account  Windows, to the best of my knowledge, will allow not a standard user account must be created before an administrator account.  Press the Windows key + X and select Control Panel.  Select user accounts and verify that it is an admin account or not.  If this is not the case, click on change the type of account and it should give the opportunity.  There must be at least one administrator in Windows 8, so this should be an admin account, provided that it is the only one.

  You receive a prompt in a program he needs administrator privileges?  What made enter you the account isn't an admin account?  Some older programs may not recognize it as an administrator account.

• How to activate the Sleep function to put the computer to sleep if a program is open?

  I have Windows Vista basic on a desktop Dell 530.  I found that if I have a program or application running (such as I-tunes or windows media player) then the Sleep function will not put the computer to sleep.  How to activate the Sleep function to replace these programs and put the computer to sleep?

  Note: This is how it was with windows XP, the Sleep function would put the computer to sleep no matter what was running, he was reliable, if you left the computer and I forgot that you had something running.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi kevino4130,

  If you disable sharing on your computer (not only the power settings) of media, it should allow him to enter the mode 'sleep'.

  See if that does not solve your problem and let us know.

• What happens when Task Scheduler is scheduled to wake the computer from sleep mode

  I have the windows vista Task Scheduler to wake the computer from sleep to run a command script. some tasks in the script work correctly and some do not. This is because the computer is "awake from sleep", whatever that means. This is not what is happening, because the tasks that the batch script runs when the computer is actually on, with display and all are very different tasks, it runs while the computer gets "awakened from his sleep", so what happens exactly when the task schedler wakes up the computer of mode sleep under vista? How is it possible to emulate a real awake state with the Task Scheduler to a State of sleep, according to a schedule?

  I have a pavilion with Vista m9457c.  Recently, it developed a problem in which the mouse or the keyboard you wake the computer from sleep mode more.  I knew that the fan on the video card was bad, so I replaced the video card.  This does not solve the problem.  I did so that the keyboard and mouse could get the computer from sleep mode, but it is still not correct the problem.  If I let the computer to sleep, nothing happens when I move the mouse or press the Crescent Moon on the keyboard.  The screen remains dark.  Then I have to physically press the power button / stop and return to restart the computer.

• Files on a share network stuck as 'read only' to put the computer to sleep.

  By necessity, I use my 98 computer windows that the file server since tempting to access any shares of Vista will cause Windows 9 X to crash. It is already used as a print from the Vista computer server does not have a parallel port.

  I worked on a Microsoft Word document and subject to frequent interruptions. When I put the computer to sleep before walking away from the keyboard, it isn't properly disconnect the Win98 system. Wake up to the computer, I am unable to save office documents, because they are locked for editing.

  In addition, sometimes even after I close Word or Excel, the system is not disconnected. Even when I stopped all other computers, the Win98 system reports that there are still users connected to the system when I go to stop him so. Is it possible to force the Vista computer to disconnect all network connections before you put it to sleep or stopping then the Win98 system recognizes that no one is online and that all the files will be closed?

  I really don't want to have to close a document that I am in the middle of working on when I have to walk away from the keyboard, but this seems the only solution to the problem. Leaving open is the main reason that I put the computer to sleep rather than stop it. Recording locally is not really a good option because I want files stored in one place, and Vista Home Premium does not support synchronized folders.

  Any suggestions? I already use the Briefcase feature to save documents on a flash drive, do I have to use the drive in question and transfer it to the server through network disks? This seems to beat the goal of a network.

  The affected systems are Windows 98 Second edition and Windows Vista 64 bit Home Premium =.

  Hello

  Win 98 is a former client OS, server to call (or any other OS cleint) is nice, but this does not mean that they can be found on a peer-to-peer network and behave like a real server.

  Under this situation (using Win 98 for a server) it is not advisable to change the files over the network. First copy them to the Vista Edit computer and then synchronize. Return using one of the many free synchronization applications that work on most of the windows releases.

  Example, http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Allway_Sync/allwaysync.html

  There is no judgment of network functionality, if the Application is enabled and go to sleep while a file is open on Win 98 it will stay open. Closing the file needs to be done by the application.

• Lose the FTP connection after you put the computer to sleep

  I usually work in Dreamweaver on my Macbook. However, if I'm working on a Web site and decide to stop for a while (it's how I closed my Macbook), everytime I open my Macbook again, so lost FTP connection. Sometimes it comes back after a long period of time, and other times I can do return disconnection/reconnection airport several times. But most of the time, I just closed Dreamweaver and reopen it. If I do this, the connection works perfectly again.

  Does anyone know how to avoid to have to close and restart Dreamweaver in order to maintain the FTP connection after having put a Macbook to sleep?

  The FTP queue time is set by your web hosting provider.  I don't think DW has mechanisms in place to send empty commands to keep the connection alive, and even if it did, it would take the computer to be operational.  You shouldn't have to restart DW well in order to get a connection.  Simply by clicking on the login button in the files panel should do the trick.

• How to wake up the computer from sleep

  I have a Pavilion HPE h8-1100, 64 bit, Win 7 running. When computer goes to sleep, I have problems, he wake up. I tried different keys but nothing happens. Microsoft says to check the manual of the computer, but I don't see anything in the manual that tells me what to do. I end up turning off the computer.

  I found touching the space bar or the 'any' key will sometimes wake him, but if he sleeps soundly, try pressing the power briefly - button not long enough to power it down, just enough to "poke" it.

  I put a power of 'Never' option and called "Virus Scan" for when I want to let it run without me fall asleep on me. -otherwise the darn things NAPs more than my dog!
