Reset the power Windows 7 settings

Hello!

Although I have configured my laptop mode NOT sleep when I close the lid and it worked several times, this setting no longer works after installing updates. The parameters themselves do not change, just the behavior. I tried to take them by default, and then change them to how I want to (and no NOT to enter the mode standby when the lid is closed), but the laptop is still mode standby when the lid is closed...

Any ideas where I can start troubleshooting?

Thank you

Hi CatalinD,

First of all, I would say that you update the drivers for the graphics card from the computer and check:

1. click on Start.
2. enter Device Manager to launch the search.
3. expand display adapters in the Device Manager window.
4. right click on the device.
5. click on Properties.
6. click on Driver tab.
7. click on update drivers.
8. click on OK.

Check if the exclamation points are displayed with the device. The exclamation point indicates a problem with the installed driver.

See the link for update drivers: update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly

If the problem persists, you can try to disable the command prompt sleep mode option, follow these steps:
1. click on Start.
2 type CMD.exe in the search to start.
3. right click the command prompt.
4. click on run as administrator.
5. type the following command: powercfg-h off.

Now, restart the computer and check.

If the problem persists, try "Disabling Hybrid Sleep Mode" follow the steps below.
1. open the Control Panel in the start menu.
2. open the Power Options in the control panel.
3. Select change plan settings next to the power plan that you want to disable hybrid sleep.
4 Select change advanced power settings.
5. Select change settings that are currently unavailable in the Power Options window.
6. the value Allow hybrid sleep under sleep off and then click OK to save the changes.

    Through the host ESX or VMware tools, you can not, the maximum you can do,
    is a Girardon. ISO of the CD to reset the password for the administrator
    supports virtual machine, go into settings and configure the virtual machine
    to access the bios automatically so that the virtual server is set to zero.
    After that first selects the boot from the CD (ISO) and reset the password.

    Other than that, I don't see any other choice.

  • Restore or reset the floating windows in Illustrator

    Hi all

    I use symmetryworks from Artlandia [which I highly recommend to all those who work with the repetition of patterns], however the Panel used to change the bosses disappeared.

    the Panel, I want to talk to is on the right of the photographed model http://www.patternhead.com/images/articles/Artlandia-review/pattern-swatch.PNG

    Artlandia don't actually seem to have forums, so I wonder if anyone knows how to reset the panels of the Illustrator or propose a solution that will allow me to see the Panel.

    Thanks in advance, once again.

    I think that if reset you your workspace he would show again.

    even if the essential elements are selected you can reselect always it and define it as it originally was before all changes.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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

  • Laptop HP Pavilion 14: try to reset the password Windows 10

    I recently bought a new laptop HP Pavilion Notebook 14 and in the initial configuration, created an account and a password but did not create a password reset disk, an administrator account, or an alternative setting for logon. I am also not registered with Microsoft so you cannot change the password in this way.

    I've seen instructions on downloading ISO software and trying to boot via USB key, but none of the command prompt so far work. I tried F9, F10, F2, F6, etc all on their own or by pressing ESC first. Is there another way to recover the password? Otherwise, given that nothing has been put in place on the hard drive and yet, it would be easier to default to the factory settings? And if so, what is the best way to proceed?

    Hello
