How can I prevent windows 7 from auto-detect my monitors?

I have a multi-screen with two computers and two monitors Setup. My main screen is shared between 2 computers on a KVM switch and my secondary display is connected directly to my win7 box. When I switch the KVM away from the area of win7, windows detects that there is more connected to my main screen and flies all my windows open to the secondary display, hide the Windows I wanted to see. How to disable this behavior?

I've seen messages on the deactivation of TMM in vista, but TMM does not appear in the Task Scheduler in windows 7.

What makes this even worse, is that when I flip the switch KVM back (so my first is now connected to win7 box once again), about 10% of the time windows does not automatically detect the screen and I have to open the screen resolution settings and click on the button find.

  • How can I prevent my computer from auto lock?

    I think that my settings were part of a group security policy (laptop).  I have administrative rights on the laptop, and in the past, I have simply outweigh the policy setting "on RESUME, password screen" (or changed the deadline to 24 hours).

    However, this time it seems to be different.  I tried to change the registry settings, scoured the internet and I can't find a solution to the problem.  I edited each registry setting, I can think of to prevent this from happening, but it does not simply block a closure, after only 5 or 10 minutes (I've never actually timed).  I even tried to set the number of seconds in the registry, it's okay that I put, it hangs still after 5-10 minutes.

    Then I discovered that if I connect an external monitor, the computer will randomly not, after a period of time.  But as soon as the external display is disconnected, it crashes again after 5-10 minutes.

    Any help is greatly appreciated, it's extremely annoying.

    I have Windows 7, which is said by the way.

    If I have correctly start a backup from the console and leave the room, when I return from the computer is in standby.  When I wake up the computer, the backup will fail eventually.

    I know that it is possible for an application to inhibit sleep system; iTunes seems to do that when I'm streaming internet radio.  I looked at the controls associated with the backup and I don't see anything wrong.

  • How can I stop Windows Messenger from starting automatically

    I have never used Windows Messenger.  I recently bought / implement a system refurbished with XP Home - after about a month of use, the Herald began popping up automatically whenever I start the machine, or when I open Outlook Express (and immediately requires a screen name access code (whenever it starts, even if I gave him once to satisfy) (, so I have two things to cancel).

    As I say, he began to do this by himself without conscious action on my part, a few weeks after the introduction of the machine. I had an older XP machine for 6 years and never seen it happen.

    Two questions: 1) is this a normal behavior to require a name to screen EACH time it starts? I would have thought that it would save one associated with the connection.

    (2) how can I do to stop the automatic aperture? I don't necessarily want to kill-I can actually try to use it someday. I just that it quietly hide in the system tray, as it has always done before.

    To stop the Messenger to start with Windows:

    (1) right-click on the Windows Messenger icon in the system tray.
    2) click Open.
    (3) in Windows Messenger, click on tools, then click Options.
    4) click the Preferences tab.
    (5) in the preferences, uncheck the "run Windows Messenger when Windows starts" and "Allow Windows Messenger to run in the background", and then click Ok.

    To prevent Outlook Express from loading Messenger

    (1) open Outlook Express
    2) click Tools, Options
    3) click on general tab
    (4) uncheck the box to automatically log on to Windows Messenger

  • How can I prevent Windows 8.1 update message?

    I use a computer of Windows 8 for the most part of the year. I got the message to update for windows 8.1 download free most of the time. Mid-July, I downloaded it, which resulted in the corruption of my computer systems. I have since registered with recovery media, but still Windows 8.1 update messages. Starting from 04/09/12, have a new message asking me to update it, and specifically her option "remind me later" gives me 2 days according to the message. I have no intend to download Windows 8.1, afraid of the risk of it happening again. I own a Windows 8.1 all-in-one pc, it is not necessary. What must I do to prevent these messages from appearing? I repeat, I did not intend to download Windows 8.1 on my computer Windows 8.

    You can't, sorry.

    I'm sorry you've had experience trying to install, but I recommend trying again.  That's all I can offer.

  • How can I prevent the computer from the buffering every few seconds on the site Web of NHL when you watch the games?

    HOW CAN I STOP "BUFFERING"?

    Hello

    1. what web browser is installed on your computer? (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.)

    2 are you facing this problem with any particular Web site?

    Buffering or Streaming media is multimedia that are constantly received by, and normally, an end-user while being delivered by a streaming provider (the term "present" is used in this article in a general sense that includes audio or video.

    A media stream can be broadcast live or on demand. Live stream is generally provided by a device called true streaming. True streaming sends the information directly to the computer or device without saving the file on a hard drive.

    To stop the buffering or to increase the speed of buffering, there is no option within the operating system. Only way to stop or to increase the speed of buffering in some measure is to have a connection with a higher bandwidth. But note that as does you not an option of continuous play in CD or DVD.

    Another work about that I do personally is to pause the video at the full buffering and watch the video once the buffering is completed.

    For more information, see the following Microsoft articles and check if that helps.

    MP4 is usually a video file, I honestly didn't even know MP4 pourrait be used for audio, but this is beyond my skills.  I know that to convert files types, you will need to download a conversion program, Microsoft is no not any program that can do this.

    As for the deleted files that appears, open the Organize menu at the top of the media player, select 'manage libraries' and make sure that it is scanning the correct files.

    If the correct files are analyzed and double presents itself once again, right click on a song in double and select properties to find its location.  And then delete it from here, rather than media player directly.

  • How can I prevent Windows Update to write data to my external HARD drive

    I have Windows XP running on a controller NI PXI-8106. On this same controller, I have two mapped drives.
    1 C drive where Windows is installed
    2-external SATA drive mounted in RAID0 used to save sensitive data in our application.

    We discovered that Windows update has written files to disk external DRIVE instead of the local drive as we would expected. What could I do to prevent this. It is very important for us, given that the RAID0 data should not be upset by any means. We cannot update Windows to write outside of the C: drive.

    I look on various forums and it seems that I'm not the only one in this situation where Windows Update writes data to an external HARD drive, but I have not seen anywhere a solution to avoid this, in addition to unmaping the drive.

    During the installation of updates, Windows Update downloads the installers (only) for updates to the drive with free space available. You can either disconnect the external drive when you need and/or free up space on, for example, your boot drive.
