• Crazy computer - starts by itself at night after I stopped it

  I have a HP Compaq dx6120 with windows xp professional. It is connected to a router wireless internet via Ethernet cable. Office of my neighbor is also connected to the same router by Ethernet cable.  In any case, my computer starts by itself at night after I completely stopped him. This only happens when the computer is connected to the internet.

  In the device, under power management Manager, the box "Allow this device to wake the computer from sleep mode" is disabled. Also, I went into the bios settings and seems not have the capabilities of WOL, or the value is none. I'd appreciate any help to get rid of this problem.

  It's probably in your Bios. check that http://forums.cnet.com/5208-10149_102-0.html?threadID=43986

• Satellite L555 - 11L starts by itself

  Hello

  Last week, I have a new Satellite L555 - 11L. It works well except that if I left the screen open, the pc starts in itself 08:20 every morning.

  I checked the BIOS settings, but I did not see anything like a regular upward trail.
  Wake on LAN is disabled, the alarm on the keyboard is also disabled. I don't think it's a thing of windows 7.
  Any clue?

  Is maybe Microsoft Update set to install every day at the moment?

• Windows Media Center starts by itself

  Windows Media Center starts by itself all the time. If I close the lid on my laptop, it starts. I open my laptop at other times and it will be opened. I do not use the media center. Is how to disable it? I am running Windows Vista.

  Hello world!

  I just wanted to clear the confusion.
  Marilyn's response suggests to remove WMC start-up, that the OP has not mentioned in their first post. Given that the OP has not returned more than 7 days, it is assumed the following steps solved the problem and is then marked as answer.
  Since many of you have tried these steps and they did not help, I've unmarked at the station.
  Regarding a solution, many of you are looking for a way to simply disable Windows Media Center entirely. I must point out that if you are using Windows 7 you can quickly and easily disable this feature using 'Windows turn features on or off'. But being given that most (if not all) of you are using Vista, I'm going to press.
  There are many ways to skin this cat:
  Has. Disable the Services Windows Media Center
  1. Click Start, type services.msc and pressenter
  2. Find Windows Media Center Extender Service and double click it
  3. On the general tab, change the Startup Type to disabled , and then click OK to close this window
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Windows Media Center Receiver Service,Windows Media Center Scheduler Service , andWindows Media Center Service Launcher
  5. Close the window Services and reboot
  B. Disable Windows Media Center via Group Policy (Note: is not an option for users of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium)
  1. Click Start, type gpedit.msc , and then press enter
  2. Under Computer Configuration, navigate to Administrative Templates > Windows components > Windows Media Center
  3. In the right pane, double-click the policy (do not allow Windows Media Center to run)
  4. Select active (sounds weird but this will indeed prevent WMC to run), and then clickOKto close this window
  5. Close the local Group Policy Editor , and then restart
  C. Disable Windows Media Center via the registry
  1. Click Start, type regedit and press enter
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > policies > Microsoft
  3. Right click on Microsoft and choose new >key
  4. Name the WindowsMediaCenter key, and then press enter
  5. Right click on the key that you just created and choose new > DWORD (32-bit) Value
  6. Name the MediaCenter DWORD, and then press enter two times
  7. Change the value to hexadecimal 1 and press OK
  8. Close the registry editor and then restart
  You really need to perform one of the patches above for Windows Media Center must be disabled.
  Let me know if the above help solves your problem!

• My computor starts by itself. How can I stop this from happening

  I usually start my computor in the morning and turn it off at about 21:30. During the night, it starts by itself. How can I stop this from happening

  Hello

  Check your BIOS settings, looks like you have a setting for it to wake up at a specific time.

  It usually takes to press one of the FUNCTION keys to enter the BIOS screen

  I think F2 or F4.

  If you do not know how to change the BIOS settings are asking in a computer store is they don't
  for you change it or show on another computer how to do this.

  You may know someone who knows a lot about computers so they can watch it for you?

• Windows Mail starts by itself

  I was surfing just (on a legitimate site) and all of a sudden start Windows Mail.  I've never used it before and I don't have any new e-mail in the Inbox / sent etc.

  Is there a hot key that opens Windows mail?  I would be very worried if I did nothing and it just started itself.

  Thank you.

  Thanks Mick, but the problem occurred only once, so I want to know what caused this happens first.

  Is there any hot key that could bring up Windows Mail, you know?  When I clicked this key.

  I am running Vista SP2.  Thank you.

• Windows 7 starts by itself after hibernation when the lid is opened

  When I Hibernate my Satellite U500 and close the lid before the hybernation is finished, the laptop turns on automatically when I open again the cover. It's very embarrassing because the lid opens some in my purse and then, after a few hours, I discover that battery is zero and the laptop does not start.

  To avoid this behavior, wait until the laptop is completely put into hibernation and only then close the cover.

  I use Satellite U500 18 with Windows 7.

  Keyboard/WOL are disabled in the BIOS.

  Hey Buddy,

  > I have to wait until the laptop is completely put into hibernation and only then close the cover.
  In my opinion it s absolutely normal behavior and I don t see a real problem.
  I mean that it takes only a few seconds until the laptop is in sleep mode.

  What you can do is to check the Windows power management settings. Here you can define, the laptop into hibernation if you close the lid.

  Check this box!

• At startup, Powerpoint 2003 tries to start by itself and gives an error message 'Powerpoint has encountered a problem and needs to close. "

  Close this error message, it will open in any case. Never get time to start. I am running XP. I tried to uninstall Office 2003 and reinstalled. The same problem. Help, please.

  Hi Fishbreath,

  a. you did the changes to your computer recently?
  b. Since when are you facing this problem?

  I suggest to perform the clean boot on your computer and check.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  To perform a clean boot on a computer, follow these steps.
   
  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
    
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
   
  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.
   
  Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.
   
  If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 . In addition, see the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.
   
  Hope this information is useful.

• Photoshop starts by itself

  Photoshop has just been randomly open when I'm doing other things on my computer. This isn't a touch screen or a laptop, it is not a "bump" inadvertently by my thumb or something like that. No idea why, or how to stop it?

  Check the settings of automatic execution for windows 7 and see if something is set for photoshop.

• Win 7 Dell Laptop starts up by itself - don't want to

  Every night, as I closed my Dell laptop and every morning it is on and running.  Never had a PC that starts by itself before.  How to stop and remain closed until I have physically turn it on?

  It's too bad the Answers MS implementation forums ask all basic system information when a new question is asked, so we know almost nothing about your system.

  Not knowing the basic informations of a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues, but that's the way they choose to turn things around here.

  Thank you owners MS Answers, continue to make solving simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Please answer the following questions, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  If you have a Dell computer, what is the Service tag number?

  What is your Windows Version and the Service Pack?

  Microsoft hired Support Engineer "experts" like to point you in the direction of a task being the culprit, to wake up every day, but I think it's unlikely since that would take some additional effort and configuration required to make it work, but you can of course check if you want.

  Anyone who thinks that this is perhaps a task scheduled, just try to put in place a scheduled task on your own system to wake up when it is stopped and you'll see what I mean, so tell us how that works for you.  Can operate you?

  It is more likely that your system of brand not specified and the model with unspecified of operating system and Service Pack receives a "magic packet" (ISP) Internet Service provider.  Often at or around midnight or in the early hours of the morning.

  This means that even if the system is off, some systems have a feature that will wake them up when there is some activity on their Internet connection - even if the computer is off (which is normal and can be useful).

  Sometimes this can be referenced to as the receipt of a "magic packet", that's just what the system needs to see the Internet connection to wake.  Often these things seem to happen shortly after midnight when providing your Internet (FSI) service may send these magic packets.

  You can read some about it here:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/810719

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/wake-on-LAN

  More on LAN (WoL) support is sometimes implemented in the motherboard of the computer.  Motherboards more modern with a built-in Ethernet controller supports WoL you must find this option/feature and turn it off.

  To test the theory of WoL, the next time that you turn off your computer for the day, physically disconnect the Internet connection on the computer and wait (as long as you think it takes to convince you) and see if the system turns on automatically or not when the cable is unplugged at the time where you suspect - after waiting longer than it usually takes to get it to run itself (which can be a night or more).  That means that you'll maybe wait a day or two to test this idea.

  There might be a setting in the BIOS of your system to turn on/off this feature or your network card, but since we don't know anything about your system, it's just a guess.  You can look around in your system BIOS and see if you can spot this feature and turn it off, save the settings and see what things look like.

  You can visit the web site of manufacturers for your unspecified system brand and model to see how to disable this feature.

  It could also be a setting to disable in your network interface card properties to not allow the system to start or come out of hibernation or standby on a signal of the device or router.  You can look in the Device Manager and the properties of your device for these settings and disable these features.

  You are looking for a "Power management" tab or something like this:

  

  In Manager of devices, network card, for a controller NVIDIA network under properties, advanced settings called "Wake on Magic Packet" and "Wake on model Match" there which can be disabled.

  On my motherboard in the system, the BIOS under power management settings is a section called 'Wake Up event Setup' and in terms which are the different ways you can configure the system to wake up from some events.  Under this article are things like the keyboard, the mouse and the other is "Summary by Onboard LAN" which if I activate the correct "magic packet" and which comes in the built in Ethernet, my system connection would start by itself.

  Try not to think that it is a thing of Windows, you will need to change - it's more of a physical thing that has to do with your motherboard or network interface and how you connect to the Internet.

  Sometimes you can do it from Windows via the properties of the network adapter in the device, under the tab 'Advanced' or 'Power Management' Manager.  You may need to look around for it.

  Look for things like 'allow this device to wake the computer from sleep mode' or "Allow only the management stations to wake this computer" and make adjustments to turn off and disable these features.

  Don't forget to restart after each adjustment and I'd like to go back and check the settings again to make sure they "stick".
