• Fallout 3 stops working after the computer wakes from sleep

  Since the games for Windows Live 3 is out, Fallout 3 has never been the same. He used to work at best my GfWL and now her nightmare. Recently, after that I quit the game and put my computer to sleep, Fallout 3 will stop working completely after wake up. I try to start it and I get them all is a cursor with a small blue rotating light. What is even more strange, is that my computer goes into a State of semi who no longer meet this point where programs and keyboard shortcuts no longer work, but I can browse my hard drive. I try control + SHIFT + ESC to see what the devil but that causes Windows Explorer to stop working. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work either. No matter what I try, once I start Fallout 3 after the computer wakes from sleep, I can't do the task to the top manager and I can't use my computer. The only way to get it is to hit the reset button or turn off manually. Can someone please help to get rid of this problem?

  Hi murphy449,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. the problem only happens when you start fallout 3 after the sleep mode?

  3. are you able to wake the computer quits successfully sleep mode?

  4. What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  I suggest that you manually download and install the latest drivers for display on the computer card and check if it works.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I suggest that you try the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Internet stops whenever the computer goes to sleep.

  Original title: run a convenience store on the laptop to use internet every time I turn it on
   
  Whenever the computer is turned off, wakes up from his sleep or I close the cover and re - open, internet goes off and I can't get online. I have full WI - FI bars so I don't know what the problem is. I must restart the laptop or run a troubleshooter to get the internet working again.

I have to do this every single time and it's annoying me so, especially since it's a brand new laptop. I get no error message when I go on the internet just "the Web page is not available. The problem is not the WI - FI, as I had other laptop works well as well as many other WI - FI devices. Any help is very appreciated.

• Would never be able to stop or restart the computer in the menu after the 10.11.5 update and cannot get the 10.11.6 because iMac restart

  After the 10.11.5 update, that I could never restart or shut down my iMac (late 2013, 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3) using the new menu. I can only stop it by pressing the button for a few seconds. I saw a few discussions addressing the question here and have tried to implement some of the solutions proposed, such as restarting in safe mode, deleting the application from Wacom-, but nothing has worked. Now I can't get the 10.11.6 updating or update my Adobe Creative cloud, incidentally, which became available to me, because I can't restart the computer. Do you know if this update would be better and solve the problem? Is there a way I can get this update even if I cannot restart the computer, or even to restore the system to an earlier version?

  Perhaps run EtreCheck and post the results here.

• Vista update: he couldn't stop to restart the computer. Help!

  Once more Windows Update restarted the computer, loss of data and working hours.  It is true that this cannot be avoided?  He took over & could not be stopped.

  I was just finishing a long process of renaming & move files on a DVD burning program, when I saw the Windows Update window that displays a countdown to restart.  There are 2 options: (1) restart now & see (2).  But the option to "Defer" is grayed out.  Nothing could be done.

  I saw the site of Windows Update program may restart the computer when the computer has not been used for some time - but the computer has been used nonstop.  The window on the reboot warning do not appear & was rather hidden under ROM burning software

  Any suggestions?  Will be Microsoft to solve this?

  Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista

  Vista offers four different methods for how Windows Update updates your computer. Below, we explain each method and when this is the recommended setting.

  Install updates automatically (recommended) - if you select this option, then all the critical updates will be automatically downloaded and installed on your computer. These updates will install at the time, you specify the fields to install new updates. This is the recommended option for the majority of people because it ensures that you have all the critical updates installed automatically on your computer.

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Vista will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  Never search for updates (not recommended) - if you select this option, Vista never automatically checks updates. This option should never be selected as it puts your computer are likely to be affected, infected or hacked.

  Choose one of the following Options:

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them

  Look for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them

• Switches to color when you restart the computer profile or wakes from sleep

  I bought a Dell Inspiron 1470 with Windows 7 at home as a backup of my MacBook Pro.  I used the Spyder2Express to calibrate my screen that works well.  After that I restarted my PC the color profile has been enabled for a few short seconds, but then returned to the default setting, which is horribly blue and too bright.

  I then removed the color profile created by my Spyder2Express and used Windows' built in the calibration of the monitor.  Yet once, it worked until I rebooted the computer, or he woke from sleep mode.

  I then wen to the control panel-->--> the color management advanced and assured the new profile is the default value of the system.  The problem still remained after the computer is restarted.

  The only solution I have found so far is if after I restarted my pc I go to Panel of--> of color management and select and clear the checkbox "use my settings for this device."  My profile will then return until I restart the next time.

  As a pro photographer, it is a question that is extremely disappointing.  I searched forums, web, called Dell directly and none of this was of no help.  Any thoughts?

  Hi Mike,.

  It seems that software Spyder2Express adds color profile after each reboot. We can check if really Spyder2Express is the origin of the problem
  
  Method 1:
  Uninstall Spyder 2 express and check if the return of the issue after each reboot.
  
  Method 2:
  Configure the computer to boot and then refine the boot entry that is causing the problem
  
  Step 1: Perform a clean boot:
  Note If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
  a. log in the computer using an account with administrator rights.
  b. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
  c. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  d. under the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
  e. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
  Note following this step lets Microsoft services continue to operate. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
  f. click OK and then click on restart.

  Step 2: Enable half the services
  
  a. click on the Services tab and then click to select the skin all the Microsoft services checkbox.
  b. Click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.
  c. click OK and then click on restart.
   
  Solve the problem:
  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Reset the computer to start as usual:
  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
  When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

• When my monitor goes to sleep I can't wake him up by clicking on the mouse. I have to restart the computer to see the monitor

  When my monitor goes to sleep I can't wake him up by clicking on the mouse. I have to restart the computer to be able to see the screen.  I tried all turned on and on the screen but when I do it says monitor going to sleep

  I assume you are using a desktop computer you are referring to the monitor going to sleep rather than the course of PC to sleep.

  1 check the monitor power management & the display adapter in Control Panel, Manager of peripheral and during that control you the mouse power management and make sure that it is likely to be used for anything wake up.

  2 in case of failure, then check the monitor & display settings of the adapter to control panel, display.

  3 check manual site or the monitor stand, so the settings recommended.

  4 then check the settings of the Control Panel, power options, change plan settings change advanced power settings.  In particular, if it is a USB mouse, you may disable settings settings USB, USB selective suspend setting.

• How to restart the computer in safe mode?

  Is there a way to restart the computer in safe mode UN-staged network, or at least to list computer startup options including safe mode, without having to wait for the computer to stop, then press on and hold F8 during initial computer boot?

  In particular, there is a command that I can enter from the cmd prompt?

  If it's important, I have a Dell Latitude D610 with MS WinXP Pro 2002 SP3.

  But I really want a method that works on any MS WinXP.

  You can configure your system to boot in any mode desired by using the msconfig utility.

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msconfig

  Click OK to launch the utility.

  On the BOOT. INI tab you can add/remove options to the boot.ini file so next time XP starts, it will start in the selected mode.  XP looks at the boot.ini file to decide how it is supposed to start.  You can use the built in Help and/or a few searches on Google to learn more about msconfig.  You will need to adjust things again if you want to start in a different mode, but there would be no F8 key.

  A word of warning.  Some malicious software now recognizes when you added the/SafeBoot option in the boot.ini file on your system.  The malware knows some of the things you could do to try to find and delete this... and he won't be deleted.  He wants you to think that you need to reinstall your XP instead.

  If your system has this condition and you add the option/SafeBoot, your system unbootable ever again successfully XP from hard disk in a different mode until you remove the option/SafeBoot your boot.ini file by starting on something else (like a CD) to manually remove the switch/SafeBoot.

  The switch / SafeBoot used to be pretty, a good idea, but it isn't a good idea these days.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• Sound glitches after the computer wakes from sleep or Hibernation

  When I first turn on my computer, sound works fine, but after standby or hibernation there is odd audio 'glitches' each time there is a spike in CPU activity. The seeds just sounds like small clicks and pop, but I find them very noticeable. They are triggered by things as simple as loading a page in a web browser (which reached only ~ 30% CPU usage on my computer).

  Here's what I discovered by just my own tests:

  * Happens in programs that use DirectSound and WaveOut. (I think almost all programs use DirectSound, right?)

  Programs that use his alternative such as the ASIO API are not affected. I've tested it using foobar2000.

  * When recording my sound output using Audacity, clicks and POPs are included in the record. (I can download it somewhere if you want to hear exactly the kind of glitches that I'm talking about).

  These facts lead me to believe that the program exists somewhere in the code of Windows Audio (ie. not a hardware or driver problem).

  A few things here that I tried to solve the problem:

  To restart the "Windows Audio" service.

  Stop service "Windows Audio", go to sleep, wake up, start the service 'Windows' Audio.

  * Updated my audio drivers

  Using the default windows audio drivers

  The seeds still exist when I try these. The only thing that solves the problem is to restart the computer.

  The most obvious permanent solution to this problem is simply not to use mode 'sleep', but I should be able to use the "sleep" without these problems. I hope just this problem is fixable by me, because after all, I lived in an attempt to solve this problem, I'm afraid that nothing will work.

  OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x 64

  Sound: Realtek ALC662 HD Audio

  Thanks for the reply again, Umesh. Updating drivers did not work, but I managed to solve the problem.

  In my original post, I said sound glitched whenever there was a CPU usage, but today, I realized that it was actually using the network causing glitches. I updated the driver for my network card and now the problem is gone! I don't know what was going on, but at least it works now!

• restarting the computer mode standby

  Hello, when I put my computer to sleep or turn it off, it goes to the top and comes to the blue screen asking me my password. Sometimes, I get the "ease of access" options and have to close this dialog box, so it's maybe part of the problem. The only way I can turn off the computer of power off and remove the battery. Any ideas? I think it started after an automatic update of Windows 7.

• AirPlay does not connect without restarting the computer

  Hey guys,.

  I work in a school and all teachers have a MacBook Air 2011 or newer running 10.10.5 or newer. Many also have Apple TV connected to projectors so that they can use AirPlay to reflect their computers to projectors. So here's the problem:

  A couple of my professors can connect to their Apple TV and use without problems, but when they log off of Apple TV, the image of airtime in the bar of menus remains blue (which is normal when AirPlay is enabled). The problem is teachers are unable to reconnect to the Apple TV because the computer thinks it is still connected. Restart the computer to log in again!

  The computer will display the Apple TV as a device which we can connect to, but it never connects once it has been disconnected. It is a problem because teachers often connect to view a video and then disconnect so that they can work on their computers. If they try to reconnect, they need to restart their MacBook Air.

  ATV is up-to-date. Has been restarted and connected to another network and always has the same question. Not sure if this is ATV related or associated with MacBook Air. The two devices are connected to the same network that has no restrictions.

  I think I've cracked it because I had the same problem and since there are 2 minutes I solved it.

  Open activity monitor

  Click on the tab network and research AirPlayXPCHelper.

  This quick process and fact.

  Not sure if you have to do each time it stops working, but it is much faster that restarting your computer.
