PROBLEM WITH PC TURNING ITSELF & TYPING ISSUES

Hello Im having 2 problems with windows vista

one is lately my pc comes on in the middle of the nite and begins to scan... How can I prevent the it turn on?

I looked into the power opt and not find something in there to change

My other problem is typing... I could be typing this and look and the cursor is elsewhere on the page, or the letters I hit are all boggled in the sentence

I wrote Microsoft earlier last year and eventually replace the vista. This work of not... I have a Dell laptop inspiron with this problem

Thanks for any help

Hello

(1) check the Task Scheduler to auto scan or a daily update of the antivirus and something similar programs. You must change the settings in the program not to wake the machine for this purpose.

(2) this is usually due to the user thumbpads brushing the touchpad while typing. Many laptops have an option to disable the touchpad. For others, it allows you to go to the applet to Panel control and mouse and on the device Options tab, select the touchpad and click settings and check the box hide the cursor when typing. For some, just be aware of how this happens is enough to avoid it.

  • Problem with recording devices and call issues

    Until recently I had a few problems with my microphone on Skype. Whenever I start my PC, everything will be fine, but every time I change the microphone source (from my webcam for stereo mix so I can play sounds in calls) and leave the call, I get weird questions. First if I still have the stereo mix as the source micro fine, but if I change it to my micro webcam when I click on answer call nothing happens and if I call someone it won't fail to connect and it will say: problem with the device registration, which is strange because it has nothing to do with the connection. Also if I change the source to microphone during a call, the call will be disconnected as if I turned on the internet and post something about the sound card errors. Can anyone help?

    I found the problem, clown fish was not working with Skype and it ceased to use the microphone and I thought since I had removed so I don't think that was the problem, but for some reason any, it is been installed, in any case I removed it and now Skype works fine.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones several problems with my turn

    I like my turn, but here are some problems I encounter:

    -When I tried to do a diagnostic test, I clicked on options, menu, mobile network and diagnostic test - I read on how to do this elsewhere.  The result is that the screen says 'empty '.  Am I missing something that I should have and how do I get it?

    -When I'm in the calendar - say a Tuesday, and I am on the point of entering a new appointment, too often the day changed to Wednesday or another day.  Since I use the working calendar and planning a large number of appts., is very annoying.  Is there a way to keep the same day?

    -the trackball problems come mainly when I play a game - for example, Word mole.  It takes several tries to get to the letter I want to enter.  I read that the upgrade of the os is supposed to improve the performance of trackball, but Verizon has not yet available

    -sound quality using blue tooth in my car is not as clear as the cruve - but the os upgrde is supposed to address also.

    -some of the keys are hard to press

    I had my turn the first day it came out.  Maybe I should have waited.  I can live with most of these issues, but the timing is a problem.  I tried affecting key horizontal and vertical sensitivities at different levels, but it doesn't seem to help.

    Any ideas, suggestions, and commiserations?

    Josh,

    1 million thanks!  I was hesitant to go to Verizon because I didn't go through having to download and install everything again.  Now I feel more optimistic about obtaining a trick that works properly.  Congratulations!

  • Problems with restart, turn off, finder app and desktop missing files

    I put my macbook (Pro 15 inch Retina 13 end) on 'sleep' last weekend and didn't use it for a few days. Came home and found that my office files have disappeared and the "finder" icon does not work and will not restart. Tried to download El Capilan to see if that helped - but that did not work, or the other. It seems to be downloaded, but accuse mac to OS X Yosemite than current version. When I try to download the OS X El Capitan again, he gets only to restart - which does not happen. In addition, the mac does not have to reboot or turn off the buttons. Any suggestions this is appreciated please

  • HP ENVY notebook - m7-n011dx: problem with keyboard

    The situation began early September, I noticed something was wrong. Whenever I tried to use one of the symbols by pressing SHIFT and the number, it does not meet my contact. Evenutally 30 seconds to a minute, after pressing the button several times and pressing him hard, he evenutally works.

    During this time, I'm just having the problem with the numbers of typing on the letter keys. Even by pressing the SHIFT key, both of them, would be about a minute for three minutes. As we speak now, I'm having a problem just get the numbers to type.

    I fear that it is perhaps a material thing, because my missed warranty back to the month of August and the money is a problem for me at the moment. For the fact that it is a problem to connect to my computer or by using password with numbers and even trials of typiing, I found this irratiable to do any work. I was thinking of doing a new keyboard, but I still don't like the fact this computer is just a year old, but I'll have to buy a keyboard for this. I want to say that it can only be a softare related question because if it was the key, I think the backlight would be as well, but I think it's a keyboard related question, a related software or I'm not cleaning the keyboard properly. Can I apply for aid because it frightens me that several issues came into play.  Other than the keyboard related question, it's the only thing that is wrong with this computer. I'm ashamed that I'm a major TI and I don't know what may be the issue.

    Hi@SoZo-TEKI,

    Thank you for the answer.

    Try the following steps to change the region of the keyboard settings and check to see if that solves the problem.

    • Click on the Start Menu. ...
    • Click settings.
    • Click time and language.
    • Click on the region & language.
    • Click the language that you want to add a keyboard layout to.
    • Click on Options.
    • Click on add a keyboard.
    • Click on the keyboard you want to add. (Ideally, it should be (English - U.S.).

    It will be useful.

    Happy announcement.

  • Zoo Tycoon 2 ultimate collection-problems with disk 2.

    Hey my laptop is Asus brand and I have windows 8. I have zoo tycoon-ultimate collection, and it worked fine on my last laptop. Disc two usually run on my computer and it comes up with error 1305 error reading the file. I looked in other forums to help, but none of them seems to fix the problem I have. Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts toward resolving the issue. I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue.

    1. Are able to install the game on another computer using the same disk?

    Try and copy the contents of the disc in your computer and then try to install it. If you are not able to copy the file, it could be a problem with the drive itself.

    Alternatively, you can try to install compatibility mode. After you copy the configuration from the disk file, try the following steps.

    a. right click on the driver file and select Properties

    b. Select the Compatibility tab

    c. place a check next to run this program in compatibility mode and select the operating system in the drop-down list.

    d. let the driver to install, and then check the functionality.

    If you need additional help, let us know and we would be happy to help you.

  • Problem with Fingerprintsensor on Portege A600 with Win XP and Win 7

    Hello

    I bought a new Portege with Win Vista on it and Win Xp on a CD Revovery. It has worked on my new laptop. Then I installed Win 7 on it without making a backup of my system of work. It was a big mistake. I downloaded Win 7 of the Toshiba homepage divers. But the Fingerprint Software means that there is no sensor. The driver has been installed. After much trying, I used the recovery CD. Now I have WIN XP on my system with the same problem. It was a recovery with all the drivers CD. He had to work. But it does not work.

    Someone at - it an idea? Could someone help me?

    Best wishes

    Martin

    Hallo Martin

    You are right. It should work fine if there is no problem with the sensor itself.
    Is it difficult for you to test it with Vista image too?
    I mean if the situation is the same, maybe you should contact the nearest authorized service.

    Can you start fingerprinting software?

  • Serious problem with CPU 'maximum frequency.

    Hello

    I have a problem with my W510.

    I think that this problem has been around since I bought it, or at least for a month or two after I bought it.

    When I plug the power in, or out, it almost always affects maximum frequency of the processor, as seen in the Windows 7 resource monitor, as well as a program called CPU - Z which shows in fact the current speed of the base.

    When things work correctly, the basic speed is slightly more than 3,000 Mhz.

    However, this speed changes whenever I plug the power inside or outside.

    Usually, it changes for the worse when I plug IN power!

    Often, to plug in, the speed drops to about 1 000 Mhz. Then I Plug - and the speed goes back to 3 000 Mhz. Rebranchez_ the - 2 500 Mhz. out Plug - rest on 2 500 Mhz. Plug in French - 1 500 Mhz. out Plug - 2 500 Mhz. Plug in French - 3 000 Mhz. get out - 3,000 Mhz, etc.. Every once in a while, it even drops to 300 Mhz.

    It seems to be arbitrary and random. Sometimes, it takes me 10, 15 and even 20 times connect the power out and back in to run to 3,000 Mhz.

    The machine is new, there is no fan noise, and anyway, the changes are directly correlated to plug and power in and out and that they never occur themselves - is certainly not overheating or something like that.

    Also, I don't think it's a problem with the power itself, as happens to me in different countries and different places, and in any place if I try to re - plug power enough times - it will eventually be resolved (so of course that there is enough power).

    Is there someone who knows this problem? Any suggestions?

    Thank you

  • Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 530, error number: 0x800CCC78. How can I fix it? TWC tells me its a problem with Outlook.

    I receive the following message if poster when you send an email from Outlook Express 6 'the message couldn't. not sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address ' Server: ' smtp - server.twcny.rr.com', Protocol: SMTP, server response: ' 530 authentication is required before sending [R0107005] ', Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 530, error number: 0x800CCC78.  How can I fix it? TWC tells me its a problem with Outlook.

    Technical issues do not belong in the forum Feedback response so I moved your post to the WIndows XP "Netwoking and online" Outlook Express forum where questions are handled.

    Outlook and Outlook Express are completely different products and are not related except for the names.

    The problem you describe product generally when you have not defined thte option to authenticate your outgoing SMTP server.  If you click on tools > accounts, select your account, then click Properties, you should see a Servers tab.  This tab is a check box labeled "my server requires authentication".  Check it out.  Then check the settings button to the right.  You'll see two radio buttons.  From the top, labeled 'Use same settings as my mail server outgoing' is generally the right to choose.

  • Problem with Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 4000 scroll will not scroll on any computer?

    My mouse does not scroll vertically, but it scrolls horizontally. I tried different mouse on this computer and they are all scroll very well and I tested this mouse on different computers and it won't yet scroll. I followed through all the utilities provided on this site (checking the HID, reinstalling the software, verification of parasitic programs, etc.) and nothing has worked. Is there something else I'm missing?

    Hi Vjenkins,

    As the mouse does not work on different computers and other mice work on this computer, it seems that there is a problem with the mouse itself.

    Sinceyou have followed the steps mentioned in article to resolve problems with the mouse button or scroll the parameters, I would suggest that you contact Microsoft hardware support for further assistance.

  • Problem with the gallery after update 2.3 music

    Hello

    Recently updated my XperiaX10i (French version, not operator sim locked). No problem with the update itself and the phone seems to work fine.

    But, the music gallery has first not detected music files already in the sd card 32 GB (no problem for photos, videos or other files), and does not so load in the library. I had to download them all again through Media Go and now the library shows them, but album covers are not more in the album list as in version 2.1, which was very convenient for the selection, however the sleeves appear in the background during playback of a track: this looks more like a bug than anything else.

    I am also missing the first Quick Launch bar application for Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, sync and the brightness of the screen, it seems that the launch of all these features to go into the settings file now.

    In conclusion, I hardly see what exactly improved on this phone since version 2.1. except maybe the speed and the quality of the screen display.

    Update from 1.6 to 2.1 was a total revolution in comparison.

  • Am having problems with my new mouse Microsoft Wireless Optical 2000

    I received it with new batteries and it seemed a bit so twitchy.  So I replaced the batteries - the same brand, also the new batteries... and it seemed to fix.  He runs so much better and moving more enjoyable.  But it seems that I need to replace the batteries every day.  It is already to be tense again and I have replaced the batteries and it fixed again.

    So is there some kind of special battery I need?  Or is it simply ridiculous?

    Hello

    Any way the mouse should require the batteries every two days so I suspect something is

  • Is anyone else having problems with gMusic?

    My gMusic application worked fine, but now it doesn't work at all. Never. Does anyone else have this problem? I want to X 2 (which I LOVE) and Google game works fine on my phone, but the gMusic app will not work on the desire. He is used to, maybe up to a month or two ago. There is not a single song in my library that will play. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the application... no luck. I thought that maybe my files were corrupt, but as I said, it works very well on my phone, so I don't know what the deal is.

    I can't say for sure, but it could be a problem with the application itself however, I'd suggest a refresh on the system running if you don't have it already. Then reinstall the application.

    If your PC does not perform as in the past, and you don't know why, you can refresh your PC without delete all of your personal files or change your settings.
