Sleep is fine. No need to close down (and absolutely do not disconnect from the power supply). I usually have mine all night and it reboot only when there is a technical need to do.

  • How to put my MacBook to sleep

    I've recently upgraded to a new MacBook, a MacBook Air and have noticed that he's not going to sleep by pressing the power button. Why has this changed? and is there a way to change this? I know that closing the lid and to choose the apple logo and then select sleep will work but I like the the power button procedure.

    He should go to sleep by pressing and releasing the button of power once. This does not work on mine, but the button must be held down for approx. 1 second. If I push and release too fast, nothing happens. Immobilized for 4 or 5 seconds makes up the dialog restart/sleep/cancel/Shut Down.

    For this kind of issues Stand-By and hibernation, I tend to start thinking about video drivers.

    You did not provide the requested information on your video drivers or the way in which your Stand By button behaves right now.

    If you did a system recovery from the CD supplied with your system, drivers on the recovery CD may be outdated or you may have updated your system in the past - that's why it used to work.

    I could go to the wide wide world of eMachines Web page and see if you have the latest video drivers and update your system if necessary:

    http://www.eMachines.com/support/drivers.html

    Looks like you need VGA driver version 6.14.10.3889.

    You can find your current version by following the previous instructions.

    In the meantime, since you think that your system has a type of infection, I also recommend to do this:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

  • How to activate the Sleep function to put the computer to sleep if a program is open?

    I have Windows Vista basic on a desktop Dell 530.  I found that if I have a program or application running (such as I-tunes or windows media player) then the Sleep function will not put the computer to sleep.  How to activate the Sleep function to replace these programs and put the computer to sleep?

    Note: This is how it was with windows XP, the Sleep function would put the computer to sleep no matter what was running, he was reliable, if you left the computer and I forgot that you had something running.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi kevino4130,

    If you disable sharing on your computer (not only the power settings) of media, it should allow him to enter the mode 'sleep'.

    See if that does not solve your problem and let us know.

  • When I put my PC into sleep mode, it restarts.

    Original title: Sleep Mode

    Using Windows Vista, when I put my computer to sleep to reboot.  The computer restarts on its own.  When it restarts I get the screen asking me if I want to start normally, as if the computer restarted unexpectedly from the computer.  I'd appreciate any help.  Let me know if you need more details.

    Hello
     
     
     
    1. have you made changes on the computer recently?
     
    First of all, you must disable the auto reboot system error and then we can check if the problem exists in safe mode or not.
     
    Method 1.
    Step 1. Disable automatic reboot to avoid unwanted restarts on system failure.
    a. when your computer starts up keep press F8 on your keyboard until you get the Advanced Boot Options screen.
    b. now, use the arrow keys, select Disable automatic restart in case of system error and press ENTER.
     
    Step 2 Start your computer in safe mode and check if the problem exists. If it starts successfully and supposed works can be a third-party application or service is causing the problem. We can use the approach 50 / 50 to narrow down the root cause of the problem.

    See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
     
    Method 2.
    It is also recommended that you update all hardware drivers.
    For more information see the link below:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

     
    b. you can also check if all the drivers are available through Windows Update.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-drivers-recommended-links

     
    Method 3.
    If you suspect a virus activity I highly recommend to run a Scan of Virus online. 
    Sometimes the security program installed might not be fair enough. I also recommend you update your security software regularly.
    a. follow the link below to start the free online scan:
    http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
     
    b. run the malware removal tool from Microsoft.
     
    Microsoft Malicious removal tool - 64 bit

  • Is there an F key that puts your computer to sleep?

    There is a key on the keyboard that puts your computer to sleep?

    N ° you must do it from the start menu or yuu can be programmed to go to sleep when you close the lid if it is a laptop.  You can also create your own keyboard shortcut that will put the computer to sleep (but this isn't an F key).

    I hope this helps.  If you want more information, reply back asking questions about what you want to know.

    Good luck.

  • Can I turn off or put the PC to sleep?

    Hello

    I had sleep problems and the technician told me to not use sleep often.

    I use the PC daily between 09:00 - 14 am (standby) then I usually put on for a hour

    at about 20:00 and put it back to sleep.

    What the expert said I should do?

    Thank you!

    Hello KarlSu,

    While sleep is a useful option, I'm afraid, I'm agree with the technician told you. To be honest I much prefer to turn off my computer when I have finished using the PC. If I know I'll be away from my PC for a period of time, say half an hour or more, then yes I'll use the sleep option, but in general as soon as I finished my session the PC is turned off completely.

    original title: symbols instead of text

    I put my computer to sleep last night and when I opened this morning, all my text in symbols.  I can't read my screen.  I rebooted and got the same.  How can I fix it?

    Hello

    try a restore of the system before this happened

    If necessary do in safe mode

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
  • Files on a share network stuck as 'read only' to put the computer to sleep.

    By necessity, I use my 98 computer windows that the file server since tempting to access any shares of Vista will cause Windows 9 X to crash. It is already used as a print from the Vista computer server does not have a parallel port.

    I worked on a Microsoft Word document and subject to frequent interruptions. When I put the computer to sleep before walking away from the keyboard, it isn't properly disconnect the Win98 system. Wake up to the computer, I am unable to save office documents, because they are locked for editing.

    In addition, sometimes even after I close Word or Excel, the system is not disconnected. Even when I stopped all other computers, the Win98 system reports that there are still users connected to the system when I go to stop him so. Is it possible to force the Vista computer to disconnect all network connections before you put it to sleep or stopping then the Win98 system recognizes that no one is online and that all the files will be closed?

    I really don't want to have to close a document that I am in the middle of working on when I have to walk away from the keyboard, but this seems the only solution to the problem. Leaving open is the main reason that I put the computer to sleep rather than stop it. Recording locally is not really a good option because I want files stored in one place, and Vista Home Premium does not support synchronized folders.

    Any suggestions? I already use the Briefcase feature to save documents on a flash drive, do I have to use the drive in question and transfer it to the server through network disks? This seems to beat the goal of a network.

    The affected systems are Windows 98 Second edition and Windows Vista 64 bit Home Premium =.

    Hello

    Win 98 is a former client OS, server to call (or any other OS cleint) is nice, but this does not mean that they can be found on a peer-to-peer network and behave like a real server.

    Under this situation (using Win 98 for a server) it is not advisable to change the files over the network. First copy them to the Vista Edit computer and then synchronize. Return using one of the many free synchronization applications that work on most of the windows releases.

    Example, http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Allway_Sync/allwaysync.html

    There is no judgment of network functionality, if the Application is enabled and go to sleep while a file is open on Win 98 it will stay open. Closing the file needs to be done by the application.
