in Windows 7, the past his off times randomly notify.wav

I recently bought a new motherboard, so I reinstalled Win 7 64 bit SP1. I installed all critics optionally Win updates and except language packs. Any motherboard current CPU and GPU drivers are installed from their respective sites. I started to re - install the software I used before without a problem. About a day in the installation of programs the its generic notify.wav began to go from time to time. Maybe once every two hours or more. It is not "Windows Notify.wav" but "notify.wav" now days later, it happens again.

I've read a few threads that I could find on what people seem to have solved in different ways and it was mainly related to the installation of a third-party program that caused the notification. I used CCleaner to clean all residual files from facilities. I still get the sound of notifiy.wav will at random times.

I decided to try just remove notify.wav C:\Windows\Media

When I tried, first of all, I get "you need to provide administrator permission to move this file."

After clicking on continue I get

'You need permission from TrustedInstaller to edit this file.

If I click on try again, she persists with this message. So I can't remove it because of TrustedInstaller. This confirms a little what others say is a problem with the installation of other programs. But the sound notify.wav seems to turn off randomly... all while browsing the web, watch a video in media player or vlc, and there is no popup or a warning message that accompanies the sound.

Do you know why this is happening and hwo to stop it.

Success!

I found what was the sound notification going off, with a huge thank you to John in winhelponline. It involves the use of Process Monitor to monitor the programs that might be using the sound notify.wav or any sound that you specify in the filter. His instructions are here:

http://www.Winhelponline.com/blog/find-application-making-sounds-in-background/

It connects a download Process Monitor in his explanation, but in case you miss it, it's here:

https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals

In my case it was a simple calendar program I installed (iCalendar) right after you have installed Windows. He missed to install to give notifications of time schedules using notify.wav as sound, without further notice visible. Crazy boring.

in any case, John method above can be used by those who are trying to find the source of any random its going in Windows.

  • After a fan failure, Windows is unable to turn off the fan?

    My Dell laptop is more than a year and out of warranty, so I was pretty shocked when my brother took an air can to the exhaust port and overspun fan and caused his failure. I bought a fan of alternative qualified from Dell and installed with Arctic Silver costs. However, even with the new fan, he would never turn up. I was looking at the temperatures to pull it up and and eventually shut down the system without even a glance of the fan. I even pulled the fan back out and double checked to make sure that the fan would turn with the applied force (I am an EE, food is very fine-adjustable). He does.

    I can control the fan with a 3rd party, i8kfan program. Problem is, the driver is not signed digitally, so it occasionally fails or it shuts down randomly.

    So, how does this apply to Windows? Well, as Dell technical support doesn't help if you are no longer under warranty, they don't tell me this - here are the fan control strictly controlled windows, strictly the BIOS or a combination of both? I was wondering if the problem threw a flag in Windows or the BIOS can't disable or something. I see nothing on the fans in my BIOS (another failure on part Dells - shitty BIOS), so I hope there is something small, buried in the windows that might help.

    I have no problem using the 3rd party controls. In most cases, this works very well. But there are moments when, particularly under heavy load, the program gets a lower priority, and fan just stops. In addition, the signed drivers beyond boring thing. As a little advanced Windows user, I'd love it if it could be disabled permanently instead of having to switch off whenever I start.

    My college got hooked me with a copy of 7, but I was saving it for my office that I'm building. I think that if this is a Windows problem, I'll just reformat this thing at 7 until I get my desktop built, and if all goes well, that will fix problems with fan. Also, I think I still have the Vista disc to this thing also, that's an option. If reinstalling Windows can solve this problem, I will def do this. I don't want to waste time to reformat if it does not solve the problem.

    Thanks for the comments!

    Hi Matt k,

    Fear you must contact Dell technical support as seems to be a hardware problem.

    Hi Kathyreedy-hardy,

    ·         What do you mean exactly when you say "deactiveated my d drive?

    ·         Remember the updates you have installed?

    I suggest you to check the status of the disk in disk management. To so proceed as follows:

    a. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    b. open computer management by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-click computer management.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (c) in the Navigation pane, click disk management.

    You can change the drive letter of the drive and see if that fixes the problem.

  • set a restore point date in the past on Windows Vista

    When I went to do a system restore it have NO restore points saved. I created one, but it only allowed me to create this point to restore to the current date. He asked me to name the restore point and said 'date and time will be added automatically. It defeats the purpose! I'm having the issue now. I need to restore it once already. Windows XP makes it easy. Vista, not so easy. To be precise, I want to create a restore point that has dated June 1, 2010. HOW DO I DO THAT?

    You can't do that.  You cannot create a restore point in the past.  If there is just no saved restore points don't then that is pretty much the end of the line, you won't be able to restore the system.  I recommend to close and restart the computer, be sure that you are in the right place to restore the system, rather than to the place where you create restore points. In Vista and Windows 7 both actions (create a point and restore to a point) are now in different places.  If you are not sure, click on the start ORB, then type system restore in the box to access the System Restore tool.

  • U2715H - Windows automatically resized when the screen turns off then turn it back on

    • Windows 8.1 Pro
    • 1 single monitor connected to the PC
    • native resolution 2650 x 1440 at 60 Hz the value
    • through CDM of the monitor to the RFP the ti EVGA 750 SC (cable Dell)
    • all drivers updated on 28/12/15

    I just bought this monitor and I noticed this strange behavior. Whenever I have turn off the monitor (or it will turn off by itself), if I didn't have a maximized window, all windows (regardless of size) gets automatically resized to fit in the left upper quadrant when the screen turns back on again.  If I had something full screen, this behavior does not occur.

    I find this very annoying. This behavior happened with my previous monitor, which was only 1080 x 1200.

    I was unable to find any setting for the U2715H disable this "feature". This isn't because EasyArrange from Dell. I do not use this feature. And this always happens with Display Manager not installed.

    Is it just a 'feature' of Dell U2715H? Is responsible for Windows? Help, please.

    TIA

    There was no pilot or changes to the hardware of my first post.  BTW, my monitor is a Rev A02.

    A few days after my previous message, another question emerged.  Monitor flash intermittently ON / OFF every few seconds.  I unplugged/replugged the cable CDM - DP and that seems to fix things... until the next day.  This time, I nothing could fix the random rotation power SWITCH of the monitor.  Desperate, I decided to plug an old HDMI cable, I had to hang out.  Flashing problem has been resolved.  Not only this, using HDMI solved my original problem of auto resizing windows.

    The solution to my original problem: use an HDMI cable.  I went to the Dell CDM - DP cable and the problem has been resolved; no more windows resize automatically when the monitor turns off in sleep/towers.  I always get the native resolution at 60 Hz and there is no noticeable disadvantages to the use of the HDMI versus DP interface.  I've been using the HDMI cable for about a week and there is no other issue.

    Just for additional verification, I bought an Accell UltraAV DP - DP 1.2 cable (B142C-007 b-2), one of the few officially approved by VESA (see link below).  Using this cable does NOT my automatic window resizing problem original.  I do not use it long enough to see if they would prevent the random flashing question.

    I still don't know the exact cause of my original question.  I guess it's a driver problem with DisplayPort standard.  But if you do not need DP 1.2 functionality, I suggest that you just use your GPU HDMI output (if she has a).
