Sleep U460/Windows 7 settings

Just got my U460 last week - very nice machine.  Just one problem, I can't seem to stop fall asleep by himself.

In Windows power management I put ' never sleep ' when it is plugged in – all power profiles.  I even checked the advanced settings.  (I like to plan my overnight virus scans if I like it to continue to operate during the night)  Yet, each morning I wake up, the machine is in mode 'sleep'.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Thanks for your help!

-Bill

Lenovo also has a suite of power management that usually replaces Windows 7 power management. Type "power options" in the search field of the start menu. Check to see if sleep fires in there. Good luck!

    Hi Tom,

    A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. The firewall blocks the information or allows information to pass to your computer. If the information is blocked or passed through depends on your firewall settings. A firewall can prevent malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers. Windows XP, Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP SP3 includes firewall software.

    Perform the steps from the link below and see if it helps.

    OP: Problem with Windows XP service pack 3__ firewall settings

    When I try to view the settings of the firewall, a dialog box appears saying "Due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings".

    I read a thread on a file to merge with the registry of XP SP2. I did not like I do not know if it would work with SP3? or should I do something else?

    In addition, why is that happening? What is the problem with the Windows Firewall? If this has happened for some time is a Microsoft patch that can be downloaded instead of trying to make mergers of registry (I'm not very happy to do).

  • "Due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings" when you try to change the Windows Firewall settings.

    Original title: WINDOWS firewall

    I GET A MESSAGE WHEN I TRY TO CHANGE THE WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS - "DUE TO A PROBLEM NOT IDENTIFIED, WINDOWS CANNOT DISPLAY WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS. HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

    IN ADDITION, I USE AVG INTERNET SECURITY 2013 AND THAT THE FIREWALL IS ENABLED AND I SEEM TO BE PROTECTED.

    Documentation AVG Internet Security 2013 States:

    Recommendation:

    Generally it is not recommended to use more than one firewall on a single computer. Computer security is not enhanced if you install several firewalls. It is more likely that some conflicts between these two applications will occur. Therefore, we recommend that you use only one firewall on your computer and disable all others, thus eliminating the risk of potential conflicts and problems related to this.

    You can read the AVG documentation by clicking on this link, and see section 6.5:

    http://AA-download.Avg.com/filedir/doc/AVG_Internet_Security/avg_isc_uma_en_2013_06.PDF

    So, if you are using AVG firewall, it's wise to just disable the XP firewall for more than a firewall running at the same time can lead to performance problems.  Choose one or the other, but not both.

    I thought installing AVG would understand this by itself, and you know what to do (used to) but I do not want to install AVG to see.

    HI Maria/Winston.Not, trying to be coy but. I've never had close the firewall to load anything. It will be, or at least should invite you to make a choice to leave the program to run or not? Nevertheless.If you have windows activation hurt you firewall can reactivate manually without going through the bugs that you can not. If you click Start and choose the runtime application. Type cmd, and then press ENTER. When the command prompt box appears type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes. He'll say firewall reactivated and ask for a reboot. Restart the computer and it will be active again. Just trying to help.

    Hi Winston/Hewlit,

    Thank you both for your advice.
    While waiting for your answers, I pushed all sorts of buttons and downloaded all kinds of programs in the hope that I could break the firewall (Hewlit the printer I tried to install says to disable the firewall to install the printer, and then turn it back on?).
    After a reboot, the message 'corrupt windows\system32 etc' file came and asked me to put in the original disc of Windows XP, I did not.
    Cut a long story short, I have now booked for a technician to come out as I'm totally lost.
    Thanks again for your help,

  • "Due to an unidentified problem Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings" on Windows XP

    Operating system: XP w/SP3. MS Security Essentials installed.  Problem: Cannot enable or disable the Windows Firewall; When you try to do, following statement appears; "Due to an unidentified problem Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings.l

    I've seen this before when I try to make appear the firewall configuration panel before that my computer has started completely.  Wait a few minutes and try again has always worked for me...   But in this sense, it is possible that a piece of the network process which depends on the firewall is not started on your system.  Try to examine your system and Application logs:
    (Start-> Run-> "eventvwr.msc") or
    Start-> programs-> administration-> event viewer tools
    and look for errors in the process that may not have begun.
