My laptop xp display Dim on current alternative and light on the battery!  How reverse that?

Hello KarenJudyOrdoyne,

Thanks for the return of the response.  I've included the Dell Web site below for the latest drivers, firmware and BIOS updates.  I would like to confirm that you are the first on the updates.

Dell support:

http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?docid=427825

If you look in the support section, other users have reported this problem.  In some cases, replace the power supply cable has solved this problem and I show other update to the latest BIOS update and this has changed.

Also, do you have the Dell Diagnostics on your computer?  This is usually installed by the manufacturer, but you can run a test to determine if there is a hardware problem.

I hope this helps!

    I do not use homegroups, but 'true' to share, so I don't know how this is supposed to work with homegroups. But usually he should share a drive or folder, first before you can access it from another machine. (for example, click on the drive/folder properties and go to the sharing tab)

    Maybe this can help.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    I have a fairly new laptop Pavilion g6 and I left it network connected for a few days. When I came to use it, the screen was very dark, so I cannot read. He lit up back to normal me when I unplugged it. Reconnect and the display then slowly dims.

    Have not left connected like this before. Drum recordings it is 100% full.

    Have seen this before on another laptop computer when the battery has been counted, but when it is full?

    Is this normal, can I change itl, or do I have a problem?

    (1) remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
    (2) press and hold the power button for more than 15 seconds.
    (3) plug the DC power adapter (leave the battery for now)

  • Display to display base Windows aero changes when you use the battery only

    original title: basic display Windows

    Each time, I unplugged and running off my block the display configuration changes to Windows 7 Basic.  I have change for a theme aero setting initially, it came with but everything it will use is Windows 7 basic when disconnected.  It uses only the aero effect when the laptop is plugged.  I would like to use aero while plugged in or unplugged it just don't apply it for some reason any.

    1. go to Start / all programs / Accessories. Click on the command prompt and select run as administrator.

    2 in the command prompt window, copy / paste the following command.

    powercfg-energy-output %userprofile%\desktop\energy-report.html

    Press ENTER.

    Wait for the command to complete (usually about 2 minutes).

    This create a file named energy - report.html and place it on your desktop.

    3 go to your desktop and double-click the file to open.

    Scroll to the bottom for the battery: battery information section.

  • Laptop HP 2000-2d39WM (EN: I need to know if the battery needs to be replaced.)

    Okay, I need on the front straight I can eventually get an answer.  I had a problem in a few months with my battery. Initially, I noticed that he cleared without warning me of a critical battery level (I immediately took it as malware so I did some tests and it came negative.) I watched a lot of videos on the calibration of the battery and tried all the solutions with it. I went into the system diagnostics and ran a test of battery - it came up as being SUCCESSFUL - and ran his 4 hour battery calibration. I even did the calibration of the battery of the HP Wizard and rolled up with various results several times; the first photo was taken about 3 weeks before today, as the next was taken earlier.
    A few things to mention, is that he died with the adapter removed about 10-15 minutes later; the laptop works perfectly well with the trendy adaptar. I also tried removing the battery, now the start 20 seconds button and so on (an interesting note with this is he actually went to sleep the first before shutting down completely when having done this). In addition, the battery indicator appears spasmodically spaz out with what it is charged exactly. Earlier, I had done a calibration of the battery and then started the laptop, at 8 minutes, the battery has dropped from 95% to 20% instantly. Then, when the power adapter is plugged in, it went straight to 100%, what has happened several times.

    I need to replace this battery?

    I think that Betsy would confirm that she is ready for a new battery. What else do you think it would? When you hear hoofbeats think horses, not zebras. By I mean the obvious response is almost always good, and it is certainly possible to way resist it.

    I looked to see if the adapter works fine in Device Manager (and assumed all good). There is no upgrade is recommended

    With advice from HP support I was through many loops, tests, and trials, restart modems, etc., included in the present was check it on the site of HP on the recommended drivers/updates, and downloaded a new driver

  • Laptop computer connection directly to a projector and cannot see the screen of my laptop

    I'm trying to figure out how to display the screen of my laptop via a projector and also be able to see the screen of my laptop.  When I hit the function key for display on the big screen, my laptop darkens.  I found a post on this forum on the connection of additional views or projector (Set Up Multiple displays). When I go to Mobile PC and display to choose settings listed in the answer (mirrored, extended, etc.) aren't there.  My laptop is running Vista Business Service Pack 2 and two weeks.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hello Shawn,

    Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

    It should probably be shortened on your laptop keyboard to turn on the visible screen (for example Fn + F5). Try these until you can see the image on the laptop monitor.

    Also, follow the steps and try to set the screen parameter as follows:

    (1) right click on the desktop, click Properties, and on the display settings, choose monitor as your main graphics card 1.

    (2) setup that monitor the as a 2nd external display (projector).

    (3) click on apply and Ok.

    Restart the computer to see if you are able to see the screen on laptop and projector.

    You can also check with the computer manufacturer to check if they have additional parameters to be changed.

    It will be useful.

    Thank you and best regards,
