Grayed out button standby and Hibernate in windows XP missing button

Hi, my computer is a Dell (Inspiron E1505) using Windows XP laptop. I had a problem of virus a few weeks ago and had to format and reinstall everything. I'm really bad with computers and apparently I did something wrong because now my sleep button is gray and my Hibernate button is missing. The two were there and works perfectly before the virus.
I went to check the power options, and there is no Hibernate tab more. I checked the following instructions from Microsoft are supported and I labor thing ACPI and in one of the assignment, he says I'm supposed to check a BIOS thing and I have no idea how to do that. I really really need help with this because my laptop is old and it takes forever to start.

Aicam,

For standby and Hibernation work, you must have at least as much disk space on your drive hard as you have RAM in your system.  For example, if you have 4 GB of RAM, you need more than 4 GB of disk space free for standby/sleep extended to work.  How much free space and RAM do you have?

HTH,
JW

  • The GPU acceleration is grayed out in first and AE, but not in Media Encoder. However, the rendering is slow in all 3 programs.

    It worked fine in CS6.

    Now, whenever I open a project (Pr or Ae) I get the message: this project has been modified used with accelerated by GPU rendering. This happens with all projects, even with those that I created in the Pr/Ae CC, with already disabled accelerated by GPU rendering.

    In Media Encoder, the GPU acceleration is not grayed out, but still if I made a first sequence or model ae via ME, its very very slow. (takes 5 hours for a video that took 20 minutes in CS6)

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you, Daniel

    I didn't have the time to post it yesterday, but you have found similar work around. What is happening is the decoding of earlier projects, or projects of the same version even sometimes won't boot the MPE of hardware engine. These files are cached and won't clear for this sequence until you delete the cache. 1 way to do is to replace the clips. The easiest is in the future change the EMT of the material to the MPE software and select delete the files from the cache when it invites. Then return to the MPE material and clear the cache again. That recreates the decoded files cache that often solves this problem.

    Hi Hannesdp,

    Thank you for your question. Right now, your question was refitted to the Helpdesk and to examine the issue, I will need a little more troubleshooting information.

    First please try to access the page in a private window, and then try to reproduce the problem in Mode safe, if it is not reproducible in Mode without failure, then one of the extension or pug-ins can affect scripts on this page.

    "Try Mode without failure of Firefox to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    A screenshot of the problem and a screenshot of console js may also be necessary if the problem persists in a private window. These are the two reference tools that I can clarify as well.

  • Impossible to completely disable a command grayed out button

    Hello! Everyone,

    I thought that this matter has been resolved before, but it back once again.

    Please take a look at the code in the attached draft.

    If the call to "Delay (5)" is placed after "ProcessSystemEvents()" called in the A_Callback() function, B - LEDs always do anything!

    Shading or make invisible B button is not disable the command button at all.

    Only when I placed the call "Delay (5) ' before the 'ProcessSystemEvents()', the B button will be disabled.

    Just by dimming button B, without "ProcessDrawEvents()" and "ProcessSystemEvents()", will not ensure that the button is disabled.

    I'm puzzled.  What is the proper way to completely disable a command button?

    This problem occurs only in 6.0 CVI?

    If you need to call ProcessSystemEvents in order to ignore clicks on a button depends on what you are doing at the time when and where you you undim control.  The original question came when the button is gray and more blurred in a callback.

    CVI differs from event processing while you're in a callback.  If you're not currently in a reminder, a click event will be processed when it occurs.  If the control is dimmed when the click occurs, (once again, outside of a reminder), the event will be treated and ignored and you need not ProcessSystemEvents.

    Or if you dim the control from a reminder, click the control, and then quit the recall without undimming the control, the event will be handled with the dimmed control and will be ignored (without the need of ProcessSystemEvents).

    So the big question is when you undim control?  If you the undim the end of a long reminder, then you call ProcessSystemEvents.

    But if, for example, you open a panel with a dimmed and then control it undim after something else, you don't need ProcessSystemEvents to ignore the click.

    Let's say you have a panel with a control for the user to select a file name and a button to print the selected file.  You don't want to print to be active until the file is selected, so it is dimmed by default initially.  In a callback for file name control, after the user selects a file, you can then undim the print button without the need to call ProcessSystemEvents.  Any click button print previously sifted is already been ignored.

  • Equium A60 - standby and Hibernate function does not

    I have a Toshiba Equium (or Satellite) laptop A60 - bought in 2004.

    The problem that I have with him, it is that the sleep feature is very + capricious. Times it usually works. At worst it's working only a small proportion of the time. Very bad moments it never works at all.

    When startup fails I open the screen and the computer turn on, I hear the fan and hard drive, but the screen is just black display (although the backlight is on in the background).
    Sometimes, the mouse pointer is visible at the center of a black screen Uni and at other times small forests of window are visible - but the screen is still black.
    The computer is in a State of brain death, and I have to turn it off and restart to get it working again.

    I've been through this forum looking for ideas and tried without notable success the following:
    Disabling wake-up-on-LAN
    * I have already installed the latest version of the BIOS.

    I need to know how to solve this problem because my A60 is getting old and so it tends to become very hot if left running for a long period at a time.

    The total number is A60 - PSA67E 00200D8J

    I am running Windows XP is installed on original Toshiba drive - but with 5 years ' worth of Microsoft updates added on top. When I tried to reinstall the operation usually on the eve of the OS works, but by the time wherever I installed all the extras (drivers card wireless firewall, AV,...), it goes back to be unreliable again.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    This means that after the installation of a new OS everything seems to work properly but after a short time the night before fails again one generally, this occurs when the laptop gets hot.
    Is this good?

    Hmm I think you should check if the high temperature does not affect the functionality of the laptop
    This is perhaps the main reason for your question.
    So I recommend to clean the vents and to remove dust using the jet of compressed air (you can get it from most computer resellers)

    In very rare cases, it would be helpful to renew the thermal grease which is placed between the cooling module and CPU.
    But this must be done ONLY by a mobile technician because the procedure of disassembly is really complicated.

    Update the display driver too. This could help to resolve the problem with the black screen.

  • Several issues of the G20 (pixelerrors, IR, standby and Hibernate, TV)

    Hi people!

    I bought a g-20 a few weeks ago and from the beginning I had several problems with my laptop. I hope one of you can help me! Moreover, it is the G20 with TV Tuner and things supplied with it...

    (1) I have a pixel on the screen error. As I use the black background its not very nice. does anyone of you have also pixelerrors? or are all your screens ok?

    (2) I would use internal infrared to connect to mobile phone. Unfortunately, there is no driver or whatever installed, so IR does not work?

    (3) I had the problem that when I try to go sleep or hibernation, the system hangs up and stops. I reinstalled the laptop complete with the recovery and understood, that, when the bluetooth driver is installed, this error occurs. Anyone know how to solve the problem that the two works?

    (4) I'm from Switzerland and use cable television. I connected with the laptop and installed MCE channels via the postal code and so on... Well, it scans through all, but actually I have maybe 10 channels work proberly. on about 50 to television. on television, he works all fine, but the same line does not all channels on laptop. is it possible to use other tools to watch television? or scan the frequencies manually, then could I myself check and tune the channels myself? for example, I also use teleclub (identical to the first in Germany) and it should be a signal that is decoded on the wire. but the laptop can't find the channel or its does not work.

    (5) when I am in sleep or Hibernate mode (after reinstalling I just does not have bluetooth (see above) then it works) the laptop itself always starts at the 0820 in the morning. so no one does anything, it starts from only. any idea?

    I hope I have now all the errors found and explained. After all, I am not very satisfied of all. The G20 is a laptop of luxury of the upper priceclass and early hurts only. As for me, most of the included items are for me to work (tuner TV, IR...) I bought this laptop just because of that sort of thing. and it was written anywhere, the tuner can only work with the qosmio player or the IR does not work.

    So I hope that you are my solutions where I can get help and forget about my troubles ;-)

    See you soon

    Atanvarno

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hello

    As Chris said, aren't serious misconduct. You should check the manual which is preinstalled on your laptop exactly. You will find lots of information on IR, Bluetooth, Qosmio Player, etc. I m you will find a description on this issues.

    Good bye

  • SpeedGrade grayed out button to make

    I'm trying to make in Adobe SpeedGade and I can't. I'll tab render and do everything that the tutorials tell me to do. However, the Render button never lights (white letters Tower) but there is grey and unclickable. I just updated the Adobe software and I am running Adobe CS6 Master Collection. What should I do to make this work?

    SpeedGrade Screen Shot.PNG

    The problem is probably it does not find your codec instructions set up correctly OR not that the codec you chose it is quite 'there '. Right now, my machine is the thought that things DNxHD is not usable... even if it is all "loaded" and appears on the options within the Sg. But as soon as I chose a different codec that he thinks is ready, 'Render' text becomes white and makes it now. Working in the codec options a little more, all my DNxHD codecs now work that they just took some fiddling.

  • Standby and Hibernate is not available

    I serve these functions for several years on my T40 2373-94U - until they have ceased to be available. Information Lenovo has not resolved the problem, not the internet in general. I have the latest version of the BIOS, and I think that the hibernation is enabled, but do not know what are the correct settings - so I'm using the default values. Power management software is up to date. Command powercfg info line shows that these functions are not available. I wonder if I should re-flashing the bios, or consider that other software (I don't know what on my system too complex) intervenes. Ideas and suggestions are appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Studio XPS 1645 and 64-bit Windows 8 - missing pilots 'Base system device '.

    I just bought a XPS1645 without disc and have successfully installed Win8.1. All right, outside of...

    1. Device Manager shows two Base who are "trained" - system devices could someone suggest what items can be and what drivers are needed?

    2. the volume and the DVD eject buttons don't. (The wireless button certainly.) Suggestions?

    Thank you very much.

    VEN_1180 is Ricoh and Ricoh in this system is the card reader. The driver that I mentioned:

    http://ftp.Dell.com/Chipset/R234107.exe

    should these base system device drivers. If the installation does not remove these then manually update the driver for the two devices by pointing to C:\Dell\Drivers see here for more details:

    http://philipyip.WordPress.com/unofficial-driver-sets/checking-hardware-IDs-in-the-device-manager/driver-installation-via-the-Device-Manager/

    Bluetooth that I believe was optional, so you won't have a bluetooth card. If you are sure that you have one, try typing Fn and F2 a few times to see if you can enable/disable Bluetooth radio and outside, you can leave the Device Manager maximized when doing this to see if there is no change. It needs display in Device Manager before installing the drivers.

    If this fails, you may need to go to the BIOS Setup and disable it, then load Windows and turn off then repeat the process, but allowing it. To enter the BIOS F2 Setup press immediately when you feed the machine.

    The Bluetooth card is the Dell Wireless 370 and a Broadcom device. Of Broadcom Bluetooth update should install the appropriate drivers for it.

  • Console Remote button grayed out for M605 blades seen CMC

    Hello

    When connected to the CMC and look at a preview/properties/server status, M605 blades show the Remote Console as grayed out button, but the button iDRAC is normal.

    At the start of the iDRAC a blade, the Console tab can be selected and the Console launched very well. So nothing wrong with the connection to the console.

    • How the key of Remote Console can be enabled from the CMC? Why is greyed out?

    (BTW, in a chassis mixed with M610 and M605, of the M610 all show the button Console remotely normally, but the M605 are greyed out)?

    Thx for your help,

    John Bradshaw

    John,

    The M605 is a blade of more early liberated. The M610 is actually cut, everything that follows the M610 will support the launch of the Console remotely from the CMC. The M600 and M605 does not support, but can be launched from the Drac.

  • Sleep and Hibernate works not properly

    Hello
    I have a laptop HP running Win7 64 bit which has developed a problem when you use power-saving features and ensures extended. I rarely stop or restart the system and very rarely use Hibernate, opting instead for simply use sleep function when I close the lid. Stop and restart both to perform as expected, but whenever I try to use the sleep function, either by closing the lid or via the options on the start menu, simply, the screen goes black and the laptop runs - the fan is on and the hard drive light flashes sometimes. I waited for about ten minutes, but nothing changes. Then, when I lift the lid to wake the system, nothing happens and I have to do a closed hard. The same thing happens with the Hibernate.

    I used the system restore already to try to resolve, by choosing a restore point, a few days before the recent updates or system changes, I did but the problem remains.

    I also changed the settings in the power settings to try to solve the problem, but once again failed to do.

    I turned it off Hibernation using start, run, powercfg-h off but once again, this has not fixed the problem. >

    Any advice greatly appreciated.
