    Hi Phil.Ganchev,
     
    Using a laptop or a desktop computer?
     
    The reason for this question is, if you have a plugged AC adapter you must set power accordingly as opposed to laptop settings battery operated.
     
    I suggest you head over to the power settings and create your own power management.
     
    a. power by clicking on the Start button, open the Options click on the Control Panel, clicking system and security, and then clicking Power Options.

    (b) according to the plan you want to change, click on change plan settings.

    c. on the parameters of change in the plan page, choose "Put the computer to sleep" that you want to use when your computer is running on battery (if applicable) and when it is plugged.
    (Change in 5 minutes for the batteries and sector)

    Hello

    Read the information that you do not say what Antivirus you use, which can also be the cause of the problem with Windows defender.

    And also the scan with Malwarebytes AntiMalware; link to information and download here:

    Download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

    And here's how to go in Safe Mode options; Select safe mode with networking from the list of options:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

  • The address window has been reduced. How can I make it any longer so I can see the address (or most of them at least)?

    I've updated to Firefox for Mac 3.6.23. I have OS 10.4.11. Immediately, I noticed that the address window has been reduced to about half an inch. The search engine is long, like the address used to be window. It's not good for me. I usually use the address window to make changes and move it to a new page. I can't do it now. How can I make long once again the address window? Can I return to 3.6.22? I need this long window.

  • The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office

    A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.

    That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.

    I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).

    How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?

    Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?

    Thank you!

    You're the one who knows if you installed Office.

    Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.

    If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.

    A clean installation will wipe everything.

    You cannot transfer programs.

    It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.

  • How can I make the bookmark page appears as a complete window and not a side window of my Home Page?

    When I open a book marked page, it appears as a window in the sidebar of the home page and I can't do a full page to display correctly. When I first created bookmarks, it wasn't the case, but something has changed? Thank you...

    In the Bookmark Manager (Bookmarks > show all bookmarks) you can click on the button more in the lower details pane on the right.
    Make sure "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.

    Note that the opening in the sidebar is the default value for the bookmarks created via a link or a button on a Web site.
    You can view the properties of a bookmark using the context menu in the side bar (Ctrl + B; Command + B on Mac).
