Login screen - increase in the length of inactivity before that my computer locks and I have to enter my password to get back in
How do you change the delay time on screen password so that I don't have to enter my username and password when I don't use the computer for several minutes?
It is a part of the screen saver settings.
Right-click on an empty area of your desktop, then click on 'Properties'-> Screensaver (tab)
Then change the number in the 'Wait' box to set the idle time before the screen saver starts.
You can uncheck the box "On Resume, protect by password" If you never want to enter a password on the resume.
Then press "OK" your way out.
HTH,

Windows 8. The mouse cursor disappears after that my computer sleeps and wakes up then.
I unchecked property "mouse shadow." After about 5 minutes of my violin with the other properties of the mouse, the cursor appears again. My computer is brand new.
Howdy,
I too have been looking for forums and playing with the power settings for days - it was driving me crazy!
I happy to report that I found a work around for this problem.
Simply plug your mouse / KB in a USB hub - I got a hub powered bus of really cheap 4 ports (one that does not require an external power supply). If you like your classic Intellimouse Optical as I do, it may be the solution for you.
Hope this helps someone.
See you soon.

How to make Windows 7 see the list of the user on the login screen, not just the last logged-on user
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit and have two user accounts on my computer. Problem is that the login screen shows only the last logged user and one "other users" button which allows you to manually enter the username. Is it possible to return to the display of a list of all users instead?
Jon
OK... I found how to fix this problem. I know it's a few years since this topic (and most of the people moved to windows 8) but for those who are still Windows 7 who are tired to type the user name, whenever you log in, here is how to display the icons of the user:
WARNING: This patch is not a hack. I do not use any third party software. I am simply change a security setting in the windows system. The longest part is to find the file. As much as I would like to say that this will fix all computers, I can't guarantee that this will be the solution for your system. This fixed my problem because my just setting should be disabled. That being said, let's move.
As an admin (must be in an account that has administrator privileges) click the Start button and in the search at the bottom of the opening bar, the type of menu "Edit Group Policy" and press on enter. When the local Group Policy Editor window appears, click on the following arrows in the left column to expand the lists to find the file to change...
> Computer configuration
> Windows settings
> Security settings
> Local policies
Security options<-Click on="" this="" file="" name="" or="" icon="" (the="" arrow="" icon="" won't="" do="">
In the right menu appears a bunch of system settings, find the one that we called "Interactive logon: do not display last user name" This is the setting which will no doubt say "Enabled" beside him. Right-click on the file and select 'Properties', then disable the setting. Restart your computer and you should be good to go!

I updated Firefox on my Mac (10.6.8), and now the story is not known (that option is checked) and the back button will not work. Help?
One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

Perhaps, you just need to wait for a while for Firefox download.
Perhaps, it is an extension/plugin slowing your Firefox.
When I close Firefox in the evening, it closes slowly and uses 50% of CPU. It unloads after several (30? 60?) seconds.

Original title: Program Files gone?
Recently, I started my computer and noticed that a bunch of files are corrupt, and left most of my shortcuts. I went into Program Files and discovered the entire file completely empty. The computer says to run chkdsk b/c the program files are corrupted. When I run chkdsk/r, it indicates that the NTFS is locked and I have to restart to run chkdsk. When I reboot, the chkdsk never runs.
My wife has all of its graduates work on the computer, I backed up since then, but I try to avoid doing a restore of the entire system. Can you help me?
I am running Microsoft XP.
Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your XP system. For XP support please visit the link below
http://www.Microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?DG=Microsoft.public.WindowsXP.GeneralAlso, try to start the computer in Mode safe.
When the computer is switched on 1, start pressing F8 until you get a menu of Windows startup, choose Safe Mode.Sounds like something important happened (corruption). If you have important data there (for example, your wives, diploma work), I would strongly suggest taking the computer to a qualified technician so that they can recover data out of there before the drive goes down or the o/s is too damaged.
Good luck

Hello
I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps:
Method 1:
If you have installed a security software on the computer, then I suggest you try to disable temporary and check to see if the same problem happens. Make sure that you enable security software back once the diagnosis is made to prevent the computer from virus attacks.

Try to download the update from this link and install the update manually and check if it helps:
