How can I get my Dell Win 7 go completely asleep after awhile w

Desktop Dell with Windows 7 Home is not always completely asleep.  The fan or hard drive never here down.  I tried to adjust the power to alternative options and the monitor turns off, but the unit does not totally quiet, unless I have press the button.  Can I get a notice, that it is not shut down properly. I use my screen saver and a backup external hard drive.  I thought when you chose to close all the components of the whole unit would die.  Any thoughts?

Mike

Sleep and stop are two different things.

About sleep, have you updated the various drivers from Dell support, specific to your tag #?

With regard to the judgment, if you click on stop not do a review on the screen: currently in use or similar programs?

  • How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed?

    Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

    How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

    I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

    Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

    Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

    There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:

    The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

  • How can I get Word 2007 to reset the default printer after each draw?

    I'm not the most tech savvy person in the world, but I know my way around MS Office well enough; When my boss got a new computer last month, I helped to set up, install the MS Office, etc.  Now, she complains constantly that he does not restore the default printer after each draw and "my old computer used to do that for me - I never know where it'll print now."

    How can I configure sound MS Word to print from the default printer each time unless otherwise selected?

    I have the default printer specified in Windows, but each time she chooses an active printer, MS Word uses the current printer instead of the default printer.  I just need to know how to solve this problem?

    If you open a doc Office that it allows to print to the printer origonal used when saving this doc.

    If you use the Btn Office Orb, you can select the printer

  • How can I get rid of the magnifying glass completely in Vista?

    I saw the question and someone found their own response on how to disable the magnifying of Vista but didn't share how to do this.  Almost every day I somehow take the magnifying glass and have a lot of trouble to make it's off.  I don't want to ever use and want to completely disable the property.  How can I do this? Thanks in advance for a simplistic answer as I am not savy computer.

    Disable Magnifier

    Open the control panel. (Start > Control Panel).

    Click on "ease of access".

    Under "Ease of Access Center", click "optimize Visual Display".

    Make sure that the box for "Enable on the magnifying glass" is not checked.

    Click "Save".

    Restart the computer (if required).

    The microscope should run is no longer automatically at startup.

  • How can I get CS6, esp. of Photoshop, to run correctly after the upgrade to El Capitan?

    I upgraded to El Capitan and had the weirdness in all CS 6 applications, but Photoshop 6 is the worst. It barely runs. What I can do. If I need to reinstall, how can I do that when I don't have the disks - I had download applications like Adobe stopped providing disks when I bought the upgrade to 6.

    I think you should contact Adobe directly thereon, unless a member of the staff of Adobe here can answer.

    (I don't think you need to wipe your hard drive clean, you can uninstall the creative cloud app.)

    Hello

    Look for partition install factory hidden if you have one that it will reinstall to when new.

    Go to start click - technology - law - management - disk management.

    Your h/d would have 2 partitions 1 with letter C: with NTFS file system.

    The hidden restore partition would have no letter and a Fat32 file system with up to 6 GB of space.

    If there is, restart the computer and keep listen them to each of these keys F10 or F11.

    This should start a PC Angel or program ghost that will erase and format the hard drive, then reinstall Vista back to factory settings.

    Interviewed by the program you want to record your data say Yes.

    Navigate your computer manufacturers website.

    To make a recovery disk bootable DVD that can be used in an info your H/D fails.

    If you do not have a hidden partition, try http://www.restoredisks.com/

  • How can I get a Dell J740 to work with Windows Vista Home Premium?

    Someone gave me a Dell J740 printer but it won't work with my Windows Vista. As much reading as I did, I do not believe it is compatible. I wish they would do the printers to work with any laptop, computers. It would be too easy.

    You seem to have stumbled in the Windows 7 section of this site instead of the part of Vista. Never mind. The answer is the same, unfortunately.

    It doesn't seem to be a Windows driver for this printer for Vista or Windows 7.
