When I go to the right of my Start button and try to Hibernate, sleep, or shut down my computer, all the buttons are gone. Now, I don't see that "change of user, logoff or lock. Now, in order to stop, I have to go to the Start button and to the right, the trunk, which brings back me to a screen to logon with a red box and an arrow at the bottom right of my screen. It of only then when it allows me to shutdown my computer. Can anyone help.

  • Put into hibernation, and then restart the two computer sending to a complete stop

    Totally out of the Blue yesterday (20 December 2010) my laptop running XP Pro SP3 with full updates developed a need where Hibernate (via the shutdown menu and pressing the on/off switch) sends the computer to a complete stop after briefly posting the 'Preparing to Hibernate' screen but is progressing not not to the Windows XP screen. Similarly, Restart completely shuts down the computer and does not restart automatically.  I checked, disarmed and reset the settings to the hibernation effect power management.  Any ideas?

    For aand Stand By issues of hibernation, I always start with video dirvers.

    Can you think of changes in the field of video drivers since finally things worked?

    So far, all we know is that you have a laptop computer with Service Pack 3.

    It is good that you have SP3, because there were some problems with Hibernate and Stand By fixed in SP3.  You can read about them here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946480

    If you want to see what you have now, or if you have problems later, follow these steps:

    Usually and easy to check and correct, is the video drivers for your system that must be downloaded to your global manufacturers Web site. Download the correct (recent) video drivers for your graphics card, install the correct video drivers, reboot your system, and then test.

    If you can not know how to check if your video drivers are correct, may not know how to get to the World Wide Web of manufacturers or can not know what to do then, maybe we can look at it for you if you provide more information.

    What is your system brand and model?

    If you are not sure what you have, or need another set of eyeballs on it, follow these steps:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click Edit, select all, copy and paste then return here.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete it.

    This minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork, trying things and assumptions.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    Besides what abdelhak says:

    The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

  • Recently, I did the update of security and had 17 updates to install for Windows Vista Home Premium SP2.

    Recently, I did the update of security and had 17 updates installed.  After installation I closed the computer for the day.  The next time that I started it upward, I received a stop error message 0x81ecbe79 and he started a reboot loop and I kept getting error code 0 x 81 different whenever it restarted.  The first 4 digits are the same with the rest changing with the exception of the 79 at the end.  So far he has done about 30 times until I finally stopped him frustration.  Also sometimes it would ask if I wanted to check on the web for a fix, but he continued the loop.  The loop stops at different places during the boot sequence.  Once he got almost completely before it restarts and a couple of times, it was in the screen of welcome and rebooted.  Is there a fix or do I have to do a clean install?  The way it is now I'm not sure that I can make a back up of my wife's Family Tree Maker files and get it all.

    1. try to restore the system and if necessary a startup repair.

    2. data recovery.

    3. where questions of Windows updates.

    1.

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  • Put into hibernation and sleep does not

    I'm running Windows 7 on HP ProDesk 400 G1 Mt.  Computer won't rest not in mode "sleep".  Followed all the other suggestions forum: passed through Device Manager to uncheck all ' authorize computer startup device; "disconnected all devices, including the router/modem; Cleaning to start the program; has run several programs to identify unwanted programs.   But the computer always wakes up from his sleep periodically, if I put it to sleep or let that stop you with auto power saving function.

    I don't get the Hibernate to the start/stop option.  A suggestion of the forum was to go to configsys and activate the hibernation, but I don't have the answer to configsys that would allow me to activate the Hibernate.  Configsys gave me a cbreaks and when I typed hibernation in various forms, I got message that command was not recognized.

  • Probook450G3: question sleep/put into hibernation

    I did a fresh install of windows 10Prox64 on this laptop which is originally pre-loaded with windows7 Prox64. I installed the drivers on the disc included. now, every time the laptop into hibernation or sleep I can't wake him up - the screen blinks several times then turns white. Nothing comes on the screen even not the mouse pointer. I can only continue by making a forced power off feeding and when I start her works normally as long as he does not sleep. I installed all the updates driver/Windows with the same result. Is there something else I can try other than to return to HP?

    and in the end, as a workaround, you can modifty power plan options to avoid hibbernation or standby mode.

  • Power management &amp; random question sleep/put into hibernation

    Hello people!

    First of all, I'm an administrator COMPUTER experienced, and I've owned 6 Thinkpads over the years... the machine in question is today a Thinkpad W530 (K1000M, 16 GB RAM, 240 GB SSD Intel, Windows 7 x 64, latest drivers and BIOS).

    I had a weird problem where out of no where, and while on battery, the computer will go to the default mode ' uh oh, battery runs out, record everything! Aka, if Hibernate is enabled, the computer will be in hibernation. If I disable Hibernate in Windows, then the computer go to sleep. So the problem is same, and for other symptoms can present as "hibernate without warning" instead of "sleep without warning.

    In any case, this occurs sporadically and often at times that bothers. The first few times, I didn't know what has increased, but I looked into it a little further now.

    Immediately after this forced sporadic "sleep" / "hibernate" happens, I checked the event log:

    "

    The system to sleep.

    Reason to sleep: battery

    "

    Now, obviously, this is no good. I was a little confused the first time I saw that as the power manager, or the built-in Windows gauge showed low battery. And after that I take for sleep/hibernate mode, the battery is still fine.

    Today, however, I only found a major clue. This time, instead of simply jumping to a sleep/hibernate event, I got a low battery critical Windows popup warning first, and looking at the Windows battery meter was shown left 7%, even if Lenovo Power Manager gauge showed a little more than 50% left. Almost immediately after, he does it is sleep and I wake him up once again, and of course, as always, the battery level returns to normal.

    If long story short, it's a pretty serious battery level report bug somewhere in the drivers of power? Or is it a bad battery? (And if that were the case, why only Windows reports the State of the intermittent dangerously low battery, Lenovo Power Manager no?)

    Just curious for some feedback, otherwise, I'll have to start RMAing parts, or even the entire machine. Of course, having Windows sometimes think that the battery is not about to die is not acceptable. Imagine if I was doing something critical and decides the computer "uh oh, battery low time.» close it as soon as possible! ».

    Yes. Define your event of critical battery doing nothing. It is a workaround, but it is not too bad workaround.

  • Lock, sleep, put into hibernation? Definitions, please

    I have waded through the help texts but is more confusion than assistance!  What exactly each of these terms, and what is the difference between them?

    The scheduled tasks 'wake up' the computer if it is locked, asleep or hibernating?  If so, the computer takes over the State after the intended function?  No doubt the programs that were running when the computer is locked, put in sleep or hibernation are suspended while in one of those States - or are they?  And when or why a State should be used rather than the other?

    Hello

    Not really as equivalent to read all the Shakespeare for the technology is "Google is your friend". Which
    of course still applies.

    When a computer wakes it reruns not the startup folder - it only runs scheduled tasks, then
    fall back to sleep.

    While you sleep, it will work only the tasks that have been set to Awake the computer. Scheduled tasks
    but they are not set to wake the computer not to run.

    Normally the computer goes to sleep after that a scheduled task is completed.

    Google is your friend :)

  • Computer will not be put into hibernation when I close the lid

    I have a problem with my laptop. It is a series of Toshiba C55. When I close the lid it will not be in hibernation, even if I set power options to do so. This happens not all the time, but it happens enough that it's boring. If I close the lid and it will not be in hibernation, which means that it is in danger of overheating if I put in my backpack. If I use the start menu, it just goes to the lock screen, that's what I suspect it is when I close the lid. Help on that would be great.

  • YouTube / GIFs causes sound stretch and shuts down the computer.

    Hello.

    Everything worked him up until the spring of 2014 when my internet lost residence. Finally moved to another residence in summer 2014 and has noticed that when using my laptop once again that Youtube videos and animated GIFs stretched and stuttered sound and froze my computer.

    Flash player, Java, Windows Media player and IE were affected. I tried to update all but settled is constantly interrupted by error messages. It all traces back to IE but can not enter say it or re-install / update. I rather not uninstall all of the programs mentioned above for fear of these programs is not able to install afterwards. Restorations and restores system were made but only up to a point (less than a month ago) and not to the most remote, with few results.

    Also somehow had internet limited during spring 2014 from time to time but Kaspersky failed to update normally and himself knocked out. Had to use his troubleshooting and Best Buy help re - install, but it was a successful installation. Perhaps something got through that affects those above apps but Kaspersky found nothing wrong.

    A question, someone of you recommended a total OS re - install at this point? Operating system is Windows 7.

If you have already experienced with the driver of the card later and earlier versions, please try the driver beta for your card.
