Energy saving changes my wallpaper

Hello.  I use an Asus with Vista Home Premium computer.  I installed Power4Gear to manage my energy saving options, and I love it. However, when the computer is unplugged and goes into battery saving Mode, desktop wallpaper is made background base Asus. I love all the other power, however, the recording options.  I just can't understand how to disable this feature, because I like the wallpaper :) How can I disable JUST the changing wallpaper?

Thanks for any help!

Hi imhistori,

 

Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista 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.

Perform the check and the clean boot if you have the problem.

1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

User account control permission

Reset the computer to start as usual

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

Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

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

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

This can happen because certain parameters within the power4gear program.

I suggest that you uninstall the Power4gear software and check if the wallpaper changes.

If the wallpaper does not change so it might be a problem with the Power4gear program.

For additional assistance, contact the manufacturer of the Power4gear program.

Hope this information is useful.

  • Energy saving and its fall to stop AGAIN!

    Hello

    My topic was blocked for unexplained reasons. It seems that many other people in this forum and I begin to doubt the quality of your support department. :(

    Here is the link to my (mrbyte) topic:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1976&TSTART=30

    My question was energy saving crashing to the stage of the stop. I did not help so far. and no update driver since October 2004! my laptop model is relatively new (bought last August):

    Satellite Pro M30:Centrino / 1.7 GHz/15.4 "TFT-W/60 GB / 256 + 256 MB/DVD-S-MULTI/LAN/Wi-Fi/i.LINK"

    Please... I would appreciate if you could at least ensure that me and other users concerned that another version of the driver for standby power is soon to be released!

    It isn't really the laptop cheaper that I bought, nor it is old. and there certainly should be according to the level of technical support service!

    looking forward to your reply,

    Hi again Andrew!

    I think that this last topic was perhaps a bit too long and difficult to understand and that of why it was closed, but the discussion can continue in this topic. I think that it shouldn't be a problem and I would like to discuss more common subject of Eve, but all first I would ask you to do two things.

    First don t always just copy my words because it simply turns into a lot of text with no beginning and no end and it s too long. I would like that discuss you to accept the other view s of people so mine I have calmly without frustrated because no one is forcing a solution his individual views. It is entirely at you if you want to change something or not.

    It's a good thing that you are a programmer because thanks to this line of work, you get more information about issues that occur when you have conflicts between the programs.

    I have two laptops Toshiba that I use for work and private home. After our last discussion, I have examined carefully the features of saving on both of my books. There are two totally different versions and they both work great on AC or batteries.

    In my opinion, it is the cause of your problem is a conflict and that that of why energy saver cannot end process. I believe that after years of practice in collaboration with computers as you know sometimes BONE without apparent reason starts to behave differently and that, in these cases, the best thing to do is just reinstall OS around and set it up. To avoid these problems, what I do is to make the image of my system using Ghost application.

    Please accept that in your case it is not an error in energy saving because if it was you would experience difficulties with him from the beginning. If it was a mistake that occurs to a few thousand users, that would be a serious mistake, and it would be possible to update from the web.

    I don t want to talk you to do things, but the best option would be to backup your data and reinstall the OS using the recovery CD. I'm sure that after doing so, you will have no more problems. Then, you install the programs you need and use and configure the operating system to meet your needs.

    Sorry if I said just a little too but I would really like solve you that problem and enjoy using your M30 SP.

  • Satellite M40X-286: energy saving and the E - key utility does not work on Vista

    First of all, sorry for my bad English.

    I managed to install Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit on my Satellite M40X-286. Everything works, except for the energy saving and the E - key utility. I tried the added value of packages of other TOSHIBA models, but they all give an error message during the installation. Is there a solution for this problem?

    Now I can't change the speed of the processor and the brightness of my screen, and I can't even adjust these settings in a power mode. The only way to change the brightness is manually using the FN + F6 and F7 keys.

    Kind regards
    Stijn.

    Please don t be crazy about me, but there is no problem at all. The situation is quite clear.

    First: tools and utilities are similar, but in most cases have to be adapted for each laptop model. It may happen that some tools work on the different model of laptop, but this does not mean that he has to work on each model.

    Second important fact is that Toshiba does not Satellite M40X support for Vista operating system and I guess you won't be able to use this tool. In my opinion, it is not so important, because all the energy-saving settings you can find in Vista power options.

    For utility E - key, I don't see a solution. If you use OS not supported, you must live with it.

  • Satellite M30-951 - processor clocked at 600 MHz (it must be at 1500) - high energy saving

    Hello

    earlier this year, a company has changed the case of my laptop. Since that time on the laptop was very slow. I thought it has something to do with the software, but after a new installation, the problem was not solved.

    Now, I used severel programs to check the speed of the CPU. Programms all tell me that my CPU Speed is 600 MHz (it must be at 1500 MHz).

    The laptop is connectet to current alternative and energy-saving is high. I did a bios update and spent setting the CPU in the Bios of dynamics to high. But no sollution.

    Then I saw that my fan does not (at the beginning, or when I use Notepad). I thought that his damaged, but I tested it on another laptop and the fan works perfectly with 5V.

    Moreover no program shows me the temprature, so I think the sensor of temprature or anything else is failure, so that the fan does not work and the CPU is at each time at 600 MHz.

    Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this problem or I have to change?

    Thank you very much

    Concerning

    Nassim

    Seems you have tried almost everything that can be done now.
    And I agree with you that there could be something wrong with temperature sensor and this is why I advise you to go to an authorized service provider to verify if this is really the problem.

    Before you do, you could try if the programmable notebook hardware control (NHC) can display the temperature because it is a very good tool. But as you say, no other tool could do this job, I doubt that it can control it. But worth a try.

  • Multiple instances of energy saving - why?

    I have two instances of energy saving in the system tray, and while I can make disappear temporarily (by removing then allowing the sys tray icon) it always puts another back after that the power has been disconnected, y at - it a reason for this?

    Also, if you have toshiba saver installed, is there no way to get the windows running battery monitor? I liked that he's here, he mysteriously disappeared, and I can't imagine a way to get that back (apart from uninstalling energy-saving).

    any help would be appreciated!

    Hello

    If you use Power saver you can still see battery remaining status. If you prefer to use the power of Microsoft option energy saver should be disabled removed o of the system. Please check in Microsoft power management it is possible to change eating patterns. If so you can change out there. If there is no possibility to use all the power options, you must remove Toshiba power saver.

  • Qosmio F50 - 12L - how to turn off the energy saving?

    Hello

    How to turn off recording mode on Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit on a Qosmio F50 - 12L?

    Hello

    What energy saving mode say you exactly?
    Normally in Windows power management you can change the plan of power for energy balanced or High Performance.

    You can also do this, if you click on the battery icon in the taskbar. ;)

  • power management Windows 8 returns to energy saving

    On my new laptop with Windows 8, I implemented a plan of power according to my needs, but the computer keeps returning on setting energy saver, that turns off the screen when watching films, mitigates the light so that I work and it is really annoying. How can I stay on the power setting, I chose?

    So far so good.  So, to summarize.  I had the problem of extended battery life Dell always force the Power Saver power plan on restart.  I entered the options for Dell Extended Battery Life Options and made the following:

    1. unchecked "enable Dell Extended battery life".

    2. you click on 'apply '.

    3. click on the "Settings" button... »

    4 unchecked 'Change the Power Saver power plan' and click on 'OK '.

    5 valve applies (even if this step is perhaps superfluous)

    6. re-checked "enable Dell extended battery life"

    7. you click 'Apply' then 'OK '.

    Restarted and voila, always on my selected power plan...

    The funniest on the Dells Power Saver plan is that I usually leave the laptop on open on my desktop and the thing just stays on, sucking power there all the time.  It seems to turn off the screen.  And never to Hibernate (Actuallly, I just double checked the settings - a full three hours before hibernation...) Who would think that which is energy saving? -It is half of the total autonomy when it runs)...  Can not understand how "energy saving" I would go further with a charged battery is full charge nearby when I got home, but would have an almost empty battery after 4-5 hours.  It seems also stay away, or at least suck power, when I closed the lid.  Finally got the option to Hibernate when I close the lid.  Not a lot of power use there, hopefully.

    Thank you

  • Terminal command to change the wallpaper does not

    I recently did a program that changed my desktop wallpaper according to the time of day.  He worked by entering a terminal command that looked like something like this:

    osascript-e ' tell application "Finder" to the image of the desktop value "/ path/to/file.jpg" as a POSIX file '

    It was working fine, until recently.  Now when I enter the command to define 'fichier.jpg', it works, and defines it as my desktop background as it is supposed to, but when I replace it with a new image of the same name and path, the command affects my wallpaper the original image of the same name.  When I went to change my wallpaper in system preferences, it showed in my new defined image preview area, even if it wasn't.  I'm doing something wrong or is there a problem with my Mac?

    osascript-e ' tell application "Finder" to set the image of the Office of POSIX file "/ path/to/image.jpg" '

    On OS X 10.11.6 and by operating in the Terminal, the foregoing has changed the image of the office immediately whenever it is run with a new image.

  • Energy saving of Toshiba on SP M30

    I have the same problem with Toshiba watch on my SP M30 laptop running WinXP SP2 and SP1.
    This utility generally LCD Brightness according to the level of the battery.
    If you connect your laptop to external power the display gets bright IF you are logged on as an administrator.
    This is not the case if the user has no administrator rights, the user gets the access denied message if you try to start this application.

    If I understand correctly Power Saver should adjust the brightness of the LCD screen automatically, or it should be at least possible to choose a predefined profile even if connected as a user.

    Energy saving settings may deny access to the application to users, but I don't have a check mark in this box.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app without success.
    Even with no installed saver the screen goes black, and then even an admin can not fix it.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    your first question is not clear as what experience do you have with the energy saver and SP1 or SP2? Could you write it down more detailly to facilitate the support of the community.

    In my opinion, you had installed as administrator energy saver and maybe you restrict the user rights!

    For the problem solve you should uninstall the energy saver and do a fresh install with the latest version of the page Web of Toshiba.

    Also, you should read the "Driver Update Information for Windows XP with Service Pack 2" which you can also download on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    Go to support and download and choose your machine!

  • Spectrum x 360: screen goes black randomly when on battery and some energy-saving options enabled

    Hello everyone,

    I bought this fantastic machine called spectrum x 360 and I love it.

    Unfortunately since the early days I'm facing what I think it's a problem of driver/software (not the related material).

    This problem only occurs when I'm on Windows, not in the bios or at the startup. JUST IN Windows envinroment, especially after the login, and when the computer was turned off. Sometimes when I use it after a while, randomly.
    This occurs only when the spectrum is on battery. The problem does not appear on AC adapter.

    Problem: the screen goes black randomly for a few seconds and then reappear, sometimes the entire image on the right slide and there is a part that looks like yellow and corrupt, then goes black and reappears.

    Windows Version: I'm on Windows Home 64 bit, build 14393.321 10 (update of the anniversary).

    The entire screen works fine for normal operations, no artifacts.

    Replication of the problem
    Initially, I was able to reproduce the problem with the driver build 4360 (which is the version of the driver from the HP site). Whenever I loaded the home page of youtube and the banner has started playing on the screen went black sistematicly.
    Then I updated the GPU driver through the Device Manager, which has improved my GPU driver to 21.20.16.4494, as of July 25, 2016 and the problem happens much more rarely.
    Now I am facing this problem again but Edge works correctly and is not the cause of the problem, it can appear even when I don't do anything with the PC.

    I noticed this problem appears when saving options are enabled for the Intel GPU (I'm trying to translate this to English because the GPU driver Panel is in Italian):

    -update panel houses;
    -advanced mode; energy saving

    If I disable these options, the problem does not appear or, better, for I've tested so far, he could not displayed when options are not in market, but I have not tested this very long to be sure.

    In my opinion, there is a bug in the display driver, or some customizations made by HP causes problems with the driver.
    The rest of the computer works correctly.
    Any idea to solve this problem? Or should I keep these options turned off power saving?

    Hi, thanks for your help.

    I have a passion for COMPUTING and ex-computer SCIENTIST, I am familiar in surveys on hardware/software questions and hope that this post will help some users get rid of this problem.
    Black screens and screen corruption has been issued by the option called "auto refresh Panel" energy saving.
    I did a lot of hours on battery (condition where this pop ups problem) in these days and the problem didn't show when it was turned off.
    To verify that I tried to activate "Panel options self-identity" in certain occasions and, at random, on the first boot of the machine (after being turned off) the problem arises again.
    It certainly is a problem with this energy-saving option.
    Now everything works fine.
    If the problem appears again, I will post more information.
    Thank you for your support.

    I think it would be useful to stick this post on top in this section of the forum, to be useful to other users and being more visible.

    or
    It is not okay and the screen stays on

    I also tried to uninstall the energy saver and reinstall the latest version

    When uninstalled, the standard windows power options, do not work or the other or are unpredictable, IE tell you when it is at full power, screen only turns off after 5 minutes, he won't, I don't know if its something running in the background cause

    I reinstalled the last Eve always of the same problems.

    This is my first post here, it's my first tosh, and I bought the most expensive.
    I had 4 other laptops before that were all excellent without any problems.

    I considered reinstalling basic o/s without extras tosh and base drivers just to be honest, just to see if its hardware or software that I realize that problems are not so easily diagnosed.

    According to the Task Manager, I'm an accumulation huge pf up after only 1 day of work. I prefer not to close every day if possible as I work online and I have a lot of open work. Only I have no choice that the pf usage becomes too high.

    Hi Jason

    I put t think it's problem of Toshiba Power saver.
    Of course, you can set these parameters in the energy saver and energy-saving control this option but in my eyes he s not the energy saver.

    I recommend the update driver graphic of the latest version that is available on the Toshiba driver page.
    Additional verification of the version of the BIOS. If new BIOS is available try to update. But be sure that Jason the BIOS wrong can damage your unit!

  • Satellite P30: Energy saving does not work correctly

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P30 (with Windows XP) and I have problems with my energy saving mode. When I use it for games and other applications of high power, it gets really hot on the edge of the moitor and stops.

    Is it for the last month or two. Before that, it was absolutelly no problem. I checked the file TPSTrace and got this error message:
    A fatal error has occurred. The program will end. Code: 0x0 rental: MainFrm.cpp (1317)

    I do not know what to do with it and how to solve the problem. Any ideas?

    Hi Thomas

    It is not easy to give you an accurate diagnosis, but in my opinion your laptop isn't hot because of the energy savings. Satellite P30 is pretty old laptop and maybe you should clean your laptop.

    Have you done this before?

    This error seems to be serious and what you can do is to remove the preinstalled energy saver and after restarting try installing it again.

    Just FYI: Watch tool is very useful, but certainly not so important and your system can function very well without it. Because of this, I presume that portable hot is because of dust inside. With more CPU and activity hardware graphics card will be hot and must be cooled properly. If the cooling rack does not clean this cannot happen. Initially, notebook will be hot, but one day she is probably turned off without any warning.

    In the first trial step to clean your laptop and remove all the dust under cooling grill.
