Keep the windows of sleep when applications are running

Is it possible to prevent sleep automatically when there are programs running Windows 7? I will be pretty much want only this to happen when the mixer is made something OR Steam has download something. Is this possible?

Hello

This problem can occur because of incorrect system settings.

I'm sorry to know that you are facing this problem.

Follow these methods and check if that helps.

Method 1.

You can run the troubleshooter of power to set your computer's power settings. The resolution of the problems of power check things as settings timeout of your computer, which determines how long the computer waits before turning off the display or enter the mode 'sleep'. These settings can help you save energy and extend the life of the battery in your computer.

Open the power Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-power-troubleshooter

Method 2.

Make sure that you are logged on as an administrator. You can create a new power plan and make sure your new plan as a default to check if that helps.

Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-create-delete-power-plan-scheme#1TC=windows-7

  • I need my files to open in the monitor # 2 I usually have some important information about the number of monitor 1. I need the files to alternate when they are open. One in 2, then one 1.

    I need my files to open in the monitor # 2 I usually have some important information about the number of monitor 1. I need the files to alternate when they are open. One in 2, then one 1.

    Kind regards

    How it works is usually the application (explorer.exe is an application) in question is open about everything that monitor his last (final) session was closed the.  Not all applications have this built-in memory, but most do.

    I don't think that even something TO manage multiple monitors (this is what it was built for) will do what you are wanting.  ;-)  I see no way of programming of this type of automation.  ;-)

  • Red video and no sound at the end of the clip 3 hours when they are imported into first

    Hi all

    I currently have a problem with first Pro CC when a clip of 3 hours that I recorded (720 p/24 fps) using XSplit loses video and audio in the last 10 minutes when they are imported into first. The rest of the video is perfectly fine, but this section of it does not correctly (it goes forever, one minute or more per image) and will not export the missing without audio recall bias, and the video (export fails at the end). The clip is a created and coded by XSplit MP4 file and is able to normally play outside Premiere.When overview in the first, reading only shows a screen completely red. There is no effects applied to the element, or any change to the it.

    I tried to clear my cache preview and import the clip into a new project with exactly the same results in the same place in the clip.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi, IPA,.

    You have a video file that has a variable rate, which does not work with Premiere Pro. You can transcode the file, and then it should work OK. Many people use the brake hand or similar.

    Thank you

  • Keep the original creation date when copying or moving files (Windows XP/7, Windows Server 2003/2008)

    I know that the default behavior of (any version) Windows when copying or moving files, is that Windows makes everything first creates a new folder, copy the content, and when you move files, deletes the source after successful copy folder. Unlike Mac OS, where mechanisms of copy and move assume that when you copy a folder, the properties of the copied folder should have the same properties as the source folder, so to keep the original date of creation!

    Is it possible to change this behavior in Windows? I know that Robocopy in Windows Server 2008 has an option to keep the dates of creation of record, but I would like to know if you can change Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 behave similarly.

    It is very annoying that when you restore or copy a folder, the new folder has the date of the creation of the current date instead of the date of original creation.  People tend to look for old records that exist is no longer when you copied or moved the files.

    Hey E Kyung,
     
    There is no way to do this in windows. The design of Windows, this is the creation date refers to the file, while the date of the amendment relates to the content. If the creation date is really important to you, you can set after the copy with a utility.

    The easiest is to right-click on the file and drag it to the destination folder. you will be asked to copy or move. If you move, the creation date will not change.

    Yes, Robocopy is available in Windows 7.

  • Put automatically the laptop to sleep when removed from the base?

    Hello

    Many members of our society are using portable computers. However they all use docking stations when in the office. Nature from home they all simply press the eject button on the docking station and put the laptop in their bag. As you know that the laptop stays on since there is no action in the Power Options, simply what happens when "I close the lid.

    Some have killed cell phones in this process, it is recommended to put the computer to sleep manually start before removing from the dock menu and go about your day, but naturally not everyone follows this process.

    So is my question there a framework built in Windows 7 that will put the computer to sleep automatically in case the laptop lid is closed under power and is suddenly disconnected from the power?

    I have searched through ACPI configurations but came empty-handed.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    In addition, we are a boutique HP and use their cell phones of class business.

    I think that implementing standby when the lid is closed so that hip will probably solve it. Unfortunately I can't imagine a way to detect if it is not connected to the dock because as much as I know Windows doesn't support that.

    Apologies, I couldn't help-maybe someone knows if it is possible?
