  • Y430: Not sure that turn off hard disks is no...

    I have a Vista-based Y430. I am now on feeding management of Lenovo on Vista (thanks to this forum) but I'm not 100% sure what the selection of "turn hard drives off" does, well, obviously it turns off hard disks but which live the user when this happens? I noticed that when my computer is put to sleep (even if plugged in) for a longer period, it stopped but restarts when I open it up. It is since turning off hard drives or is it something else? It seems to happen only after having been asleep for over an hour. It drives me crazy because it closes everything I had opened. I'm the type of user who likes to open documents, browsers, and even games for long periods. I scanned for viruses and spyware, but I don't think that's the problem. So, I think it's the judgment of hard drives, but since I'm not sure that I thought I'd ask.

    Moderator Note: Type added to the line object for clarity.

    It is the complexity of the problems in P - and C-States of the processor, Vista driver model and drivers themselves. It cannot be cured by what it is. The only way for you is using Hibernate mode instead of view 'sleep' (I do).

    Regarding the stop discs on a charge down zero - it is useful energy saving because order HDD consumption less power, but spinning upwards and dwn constantly does no good on the HARD drive itself, so this prefferably not not to use this function.

    Hi, all.

    on a tourist site, I clicked on the link for a list of shopping places. I get a notice that says: "you must install this thing to get this link to work." It has a logo of firefox, but I'm still nervous, having obtained Burns very badly once with a pop-up that said he was of the people 'windows' and it really wasn't.

    This is what it says-

    You are currently browsing the web with Firefox and your VCR may be outdated

    NO - I would not allow the installation of a Codec pack just to get 'something' in a Web page that I just found out...

    OMG IT WORKS SO BAD, I HAD TO UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 8.1 WAHOOOOO

  • Need quick help on vmkfstools, cloning and the consolidation of the snapshot - not sure that I am doing things

    I received this a.p..:

    I modified the parentCID in "Datapark.SBS2011 - 000003.vmdk" to attach the instantaneous chain. " What I would say, it is to upload the file to the data store and then clone the virtual disk so that the current data files remain intact in case something does not work as expected.

    To clone the virtual disk, run the following command:

    vmkfstools 'Datapark.SBS2011 - 000002.vmdk'-i ' Datapark.SBS2011 - Clone.vmdk '-d thin - one Free

    The command uses Datapark.SBS2011 - 000002.vmdk - who is the last file of active snapshot of the string - as the source and creates a virtual clone drive, in which all the data from all the snapshots will be consolidated. Once the cloning is done, you can join the clone of a virtual machine. Depending on what happened while the Basic virtual disk was attached to a virtual machine, there could be corruption. However, due to the size of snapshots, you should be able to recover most of your data.

    Probably, he fell asleep, and I need to start as soon as possible the cloning.

    Is it OK to run the command, or it deletes all the files in the snapshot?

    As he says, "so that the current data files remain intact in case somethoing won't", the clone command seems to remove all the files from the snapshot.

    Anyone who can confirm?

    Best regards

    Morty

    vmkfstools 'Datapark.SBS2011 - 000002.vmdk'-i ' Datapark.SBS2011 - Clone.vmdk '-d thin - one Free


    Is it OK to run the command, or it deletes all the files in the snapshot?

    It won't do anything for your source files.

    It will simply read the string of the delta with the base of your virtual machine disk and the Clone in a consolidated file called ""Datapark.SBS2011 - Clone.vmdk " "

  • At a prompt of updated, but not sure that's really of HP or its virus

    Its a Pavilion DV 2268ca, win7 64-bit system.

    the prompt looks like this

    Fearing that it might be the virus, I thought the update.

    It is the HP Update window. Before we started using HP Support Assistant, this is the tool for laptop and desktop used to push updates to.
    Now it is mainly used to push updates for printers, you have a hp printer installed?

  • Align on? Smart guides? Not sure that it is, but it's boring.

    Just make the leap to the top of CS2-CS5. A lot of changes to be expected but otherwise a smooth transition. Very nice job Adobe.

    A recurring question has me baffled and bored. It seems to be a function of magnetism but I'm unable to locate the place where it can be disabled.

    In my previous version of InDesign, resizing window sizes and forms has been a fluid movement and easy. Now, it is mind boggling and inadequate. The text boxes and picture want to snap on an invisible grid. I understand how this can be a useful feature for certain types of work, but it gets in the way of composing an image.

    Any suggestions on how to disable this?

    Currently, I have two bearings commented on and snap to Document Grid UNCHECKED in the menu display and yet I'm impossible rest smoothly and fluidly size my picture and text boxes.

    Thank you!

    There is another new feature, Live Drawing screen, which is enabled by default, but for many users, it causes real be minced to move on the screen. It's at the bottom of the Interface in the preferences section. Try configuring offline. Which will allow you to preview live when you want really clicking, then now a moment before you drag, but moving immediately will give you what you're used to in CS2.

    In fact, I think that the guides are worth using. They save me a TON of time.

  • I ran the upgrade wizard. I'm still not sure what it means

    Hello

    Preamble: I'm not tech savvy, please he dumb down for me.

    I ran the upgrade wizard and I'm still not sure if the upgrade is a good idea. I need to know whether or not it is compatible before moving with her.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, running Windows Vista.

    Some issues that came:

    Install an application to play DVDs, Sidebar gadgets are not supported, secure boot is not compatible, your screen resolution is not compatible.

    I checked my screen and higher resolution, it goes up to is 1280 X 800. I tried to watch promotional videos for Windows 8, but the video does not work yet. The color was off, the sound was very good.

    What does that mean? Windows still work? What should I do to make sure that I can still do normal things?

    I do not know. You will need to check with the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 7, then check the manufacturer's website.

    My old Vista was not able to upgrade to Windows 7 (Toshiba).

    Upgrade Advisor advised me to some questions, and then I went to the Toshiba site and was informed any way uncertain "not compatible".

    If you want to switch from Vista to Windows 7 - check

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

    Visit the site of the manufacturer for more information.
