Display sleeping all the time

I thought that it was a question of Win7 but Microsoft sent me here. My computer turns off the display within one or two minutes of inactivity. I changed the settings to never. I changed again and rebooted. I changed it to no password required on wake. Nothing seems to affect it. He's still asleep and always requires a password. I got lost.

Is this something proprietary software (which seems to suggest that MS')? Any help appreciated.

UPDATE - I ran a convenience store Windows Power who told me 'never' was too long and "fixed" for me. Surprisingly, after that, my choice not including no password started working.

  • I want that the to-do bar to show all the time

    When I use MS Word on my Macbook (OS X El Capitan 10.11.3), and I'm going to full screen by pressing the green button, I do not see the taskbar (the thing that says "file, edit, view," etc.) at the top of the screen.  It's a real problem for me because I write in several languages and regularly switch between different keyboards. to change keyboards, you must click an icon in the taskbar. So to move from a keyboard English, German or Spanish when you type in the Word doc, I have to first, click on the green button to make the smallest word doc, change the keyboard by clicking on the change of keyboard icon on the taskbar (that's a flag US for American English) and then click on the green button to make the Word doc full screen. Here are the three steps instead of one. I want to have the taskbar visible even when the Word doc is completely open, or to spend sort button that controls change the keyboard to another location on the screen.  Can we do anything?  BTW, I'm very new to Mac (always PC user before two weeks ago) so I'm still a little confused.

    This is the menu bar. If you use the full screen then you cannot have show all the time.

    Just expand the window in the image of the screen and you can display the menu bar.

    Also, you don't have to leave it full screen to see the menu bar. Simply move the cursor to the top of the screen.

    Or, you can configure a shortcut in the keyboard system preferences to switch between input sources. By default, it was cmd-space, but who has been co-opted by Spotlight. You can set it to what is convenient and not used. Then, you won't have to go in the status menu.

    A hard drive the HP dv2915nr laptop was dead. Installed a new hard drive and use the HP recovery CD. installs for 4 hours and then stops: Windows could not complete installation. Please re - install Windows again. Each facility is 4 hours. Because another install and it took 4 hours and then it restarts and stop at the same error. Now, I'm administrator (locked) - turn off when I pop in the recovery CD. Message: Your account has been disabled. Please, see your system administrator. I tried Safe Mode and loading Windows files stops at crcdisk.sys all the time and then restarts and displays: Windows could not complete installation. Please install again. Can't go in the office. Only restarts with these messages. Asked HP cat (3) Tech people and they do not have the answer. Said, could be a compatibility issue with the software. I ordered this CD of recovery on their part and he got yesterday. Now, they send in the laptop. So tried advice here. Please notify.

    I found the answer. HP Tech Support Chat did not know the answer. When you run HP recovery CD, don't hit the restart WINDOWS button when it asks. The software will do it for you automatically. It will take a while (several hours 1-6 hours) to complete. You'll know it's done when WINDOWS ask you information of language, country and keyboard. In other words, don't touch anything once you start the restore CD program. Leave it alone and it will fix it for you. IGNORE the pop-up restart.

    I can't believe HP has not even tell me that and 3 chat sessions with them was a waste of time. Last HP person ask me to send in the RECOVERY CD and the laptop.

    No help from anyone on this issue. :(

  • Computer is very slow and IE does not work all the time.

    I bought a computer from my old employeer.  He is doing all sorts of things, or should I say not to do all sorts of things.  It is very slow and IE does not work all the time.  They have questions arise and ask if the administrator oks things and other things like that.  It came with any disks.  I would like to wipe, clean and load a new disc, but I don't know where to find the disc or if I can do it.   Can someone please?

    Hello

    Proceed as follows to contribute to these two questions. You can probably buy the disks of Vista machine to system or get
    the former employer to do it for you if necessary.

    Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
    role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
    machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

    Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

    not better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

    Hello

    Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
    It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way? Keep in mind
    This associated heat does not always mean too much heat as it is often a part or a component
    who is too sensitive to normal levels even heat.

    Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
    in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
    air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
    You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
    test).

    This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need help
    a real computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a Best Buy or other stores) or the
    Support of system Maker.

    For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are

    the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
    Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
    MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
    If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
    you have.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
    and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
    their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
    Site of the manufacturer here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
    REBOOT after each installation.
