My laptop locked after I use it for several minutes.

Hello world

I have a really annoying problem.

My laptop is locked after I use it for several minutes.

When I say locked, I want to say it is the place where shows my account name and below it says locked.

As a first step, I think it is caused by the automatic locking of cuz I'm really annoyed by this last, I uninstalled it.

However it still does not.

Could someone tell me what the problem is on the Earth?

It's maybe just because I really don't know with my new laptop.

It's a power setting that determines how long before its entry in the screen saver, sleep more, or even in hibernation mode. You can change the requirement for a password (somewhere in the Windows screen saver section) or the duration before entering these modes (you should be able to define with the Lenovo Power Center thing). Of course, making one is a security risk, but it is up to you as to how much safety or comfort desired.

    Hello

    I installed an Alfred Workflow (see code below) that will mark all my mails as read. After you run it for a minute, the mail has crashed and I had to forcequit. However, now, when you open the Mail it crashes instantly, even after restart and repair the permissions. I also used the Ctrl + C and CTRL-Z commands in the Terminal to leave the alfred_script, but nothing helped. I'm running out of ideas here, so I hope you could help me either reinstall the mail.app. I could always just switch to a different mail application, but it's kind of a last resort.

    Code:

    Tell application "Mail".

    Define allAccounts on each account name

    Repeat with currAccount in allAccounts

    the unreadMboxes value (each mailbox to the account currAccount the unread number is not 0)

    Repeat with currMbox in unreadMboxes

    (read status of each message to currMbox including the playback State is set to false) true value

    end repeat

    end repeat

    tell the end

    Any input would be greatly appreciated. Can post the report of crash on demand.

    Not sure that Alfred's, but it's just an Applescript script and it would not cause Mail to be planted.

    However, when running through all the messages, it is possible Mail database has been corrupted and it crashes because of this.

    I'll probably get anything out of the accident report, but others might.

    My first instinct would be to rebuild the mailbox. Because you can't do that with him crashing, you can simply delete the databases and it will rebuild them.

    Navigate to this folder:

    ~/Library/Mail/v3/MailData/

    You can either manually through the files, or copy the full path and paste it into go the folder in the menu go to the Finder.

    Remove the envelope Index files. Open Mail and see if it works well.

    If your library does not appear in your folder, hold down the Option key and select library in the menu go to in the Finder.

  • When I connect windows, the hard disk works for several minutes

    Hello

    What windows software using the hard disk with log in?

    Thanks in advance

    What you see could be linked to a task that you have schedules (such as anti-virus, defragmentation of the hard drive, etc)

    Check the tab startup in MSConfig for items which currently running as part of the startup of your PC. See

    The foregoing is for XP, but also applies to Vista.

  • Icons displayed incorrectly at startup, the computer is unusable for several minutes

    My computer is less than a year, I'm running Windows 7 Professional, and for several weeks my computer acted strangely. When I turn on the screen displays properly, however some or all (it seems to change every time) of my icons appear as these things white paper folded. It continues for several minutes during which I can't run any programs, but I can use my mouse pointer and the loading symbol when I move the taskbar. After a 5-10 minutes (I've not timed, but it might be compatible), the icons to revert to the normal and my computer seems to work perfectly well. Any idea what the problem might be?

    When a Windows computer starts in place, some of the non-Windows installed on the computer programs also starts alongwith. In your case, it seems that some of these startup programs is responsible for the delay. You can disable startup programs and services non-Windows on the computer by placing the computer in what is called a "Clean-boot". If the problem does not appear in the clean boot state, you can track Windows service start defective or not programme following a policy of division and conquere.

    This process takes a little time. I would say by following the instructions in the following article to diagnose the problem:

  • Since the update Firefox 6.0, some websites do not load correctly. I suspect it has to do with the Java being disabled because of the compatability modules. When I try to go to Tools/Add-ons, I get the message "Loading" for several minutes without chang

    Update Firefox 6.0 is useless to me because many websites I visit are not displayed properly, I guess because the Java modules are disabled because of incompatibility. They appear correctly in Internet Explorer.

    In addition, the add-on from Trend Micro is not compatible, which leaves me with a positive feeling.

    When I try to check to see if these modules can be updated, the menu item Tools/Addons just goes to a page with "loading" and stays there for several minutes without change until I close it.

    I would like to know the procedure to regularize this version of Firefox to my previous version that worked.

    Firefox 5.0/5.0.1/4.0/4.0.1 and earlier 3.6.20 all contain questions of security and stability that will not be corrected. You put your system at risk by using any version of Firefox that 6.0 or 3.6.20. Any person who displays a link to other versions is to be irresponsible, in my opinion.

    Java

    If the incompatible extensions in Add-ons > Extensions are Java Console, you have no need them unless your doing Java development. Most of the users have not yet installed, but Java will install Java Console with each update. You can delete them manually:

    The only thing that affects the functioning of the sites/Java applets on the web is the plugin (Add-ons - > Plugins) "Java (TM) Platform SE (version)". Do not forget that it is enabled and that you have not all extensions which affect/block "scripts".

    Trend Micro

    You must contact Trend Micro or go to the forums on their website to inquire about their plans to update the add-ons/toolbars they install in Firefox.

    Problem with the display of the Add-ons Manager

    The Add-ons Manager gets in a loop of loading due to the recent update of Firefox 6 and servers being overloaded because users and update process are looking for updates to the add-on. If you stay away from the "Get Add-ons" selection on the left of the screen of the add-on Manager, you should have no problem with that. This situation is expected to resolve when the overload of Firefox 6 update is complete. I do not always use this "Get Add-ons" option, instead, I go to the website of modules and the search for what I want from there: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=clone & cat = all & x = 0 & y = 0

  • To install the server does not, after a Preparig to install the window hung for several minutes

    Hi, I tried to install memeo backup of a product for a moment, I recentley purchased. I know that the software and the product is not damaged, because I am able to install it on other computers. Its my fault see tho, I have the seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1 TB external hard drive, and I had planned to use it on several computers. sort of, I installed it on my computer windows 7 without probs., but when I was installing on my windows vista computer, I accidentally unplugged the drive when installing memeo instant upward.  Needless to say, I knew this would be a problem. Windows popped up saying that the dashboard Seagate (which is the program that installs Memeo instant backup) have not installed properly, so I clicked on reinstall this program with the recommended settings, and I handed the drive and started the installation again. When I did, the registration page (for the unit I was using) pops up and froze, so I closed its process, then Setup of the Board of Directors of Seagate Dash appeared and I started to install, and when he rose to installation of the snapshot of Memeo back, it opens a "Preparing to install" window of a windows installer and after about 10-15 minutes , another windows installer window comes up saying ' to install the server does not.

    Ive done my time just trying to solve this problem and believe he made an incomplete registry file, it whenever it tries to install it tries to use the incomplete record. If one has found a solution to this, or knows what that means of ' installation server does not ", it would be very appreciated for your advice.    If you want to know my characteristics. they are {windows vista 32-bit home Basic, sp 2, 3 GB of ram, 2.10 ghz processor}

  • CC police goes away after I used it for months

    I was using the Alexa Std fonts, which I synced months ago using earlier versions of CC. Today, it is there. Then tonight, he disappeared. I checked on Windows/fonts and checked that it was missing. I went to the CC, but he said that the police were always synchronized. I removed, then it resynced, but it will not even install on Windows. I left CC and then restarted. Quit Indesign, rebooted. Nothing works. I don't know why he stopped, or why it will not be installed, but I NEED. I'm almost done with my project and do not have the luxury of a big delay or having to change fonts after the customer has already approved.

    Help, please.

    I was able to get the problem solved. I contacted the support typekit team (e-mail address: [email protected]) and a good person named Molly responded the next morning. Here is the solution, what they suggested. I tried and it worked!

    • I'm sorry for the trouble. There are a few things we can check everything out right away to start debugging this:
    • -First of all, make sure that you are connected to the application of creative cloud with the same Adobe ID you use for Typekit. Account information are under Preferences > General.
    • -Then try to disable the synchronization of fonts in creative application Cloud, wait for a moment, and then turn it back on. The option to do so is under the gear icon in the preferences > creative cloud > fonts (Typekit 'power').
    • The fonts that you had previously selected for the use of sync should now automatically synchronize to the tab fonts in the creative cloud application.

    Two days ago, I bought a HP Pavilion x 2 (red sunset) 10-n011nl and immediately I started upgrading Windows 10. This medication is ok (no error message), but the first new starting system, the machine is in a loop! Only a black screen with white logo of HP and animation circular points.

    And even once, he repeats the loop.

    What can I do?

    Because it is new, maybe start to type Esc as soon as you press the button start.  That should bring up a menu before starts the boot process.  In this menu, click F11 to run the recovery.  Who will restore the PC to 'new factory' and retry the upgrade of Windows 10.  You might want to try the media creation tool page, if it fails again.
