• How to set timer or clock for Vista not turn off computer?

  Although working with installed Dell Vista operating system, the computer turns off. Where should I go on the system to extend the timer to give me more time on the machine before I got close >

  Go to start / Control Panel / Power Options, and select the time desired for the system (or parts) for sleep or stop after periods of inactivity.  You can choose never if you want. \

  This, however, doesn't happen usually when the system is running (except when he is on the battery and it is sinking).  This happens to you while you work?  There is no setting I know to turn off the computer while you work with the exception of the condition of low battery on a laptop.  If this is happening, please post back and elaborate.  Is this a shudown or hibernation or sleep?  How much time do you have?  Always this way or this all simply to start a fact recently?  What version of Vista are you using?

  I hope this helps.  If this is not the case, with answers and clarifications please reply so we can help you that the decision should not occur except as described above.

  Good luck!

• Sleep is turned off computer

  When I put a laptop with Vista Ultimate that is plugged into an outlet in mode sleep, after a short moment the computer turns off and when I come back to use the computer I have to restart the computer. I checked the Advanced section of the power, but it seems that the only option it gives is the amount of time that the computer has been turned on before going to sleep. How can I keep the on, but in mode 'sleep' when I'm not using it rather than turn the computer off.

  Hello

  To use FILES MyEventViewer - event logs clear ALL - then let the computer sleep when you
  can - it should be easier to see the events that are close to the sleep issue/restart. Then
  Display pertinent information for a few of those who, like what's in the lower pane of the utility
  When you click the event in the upper pane. You can also use the Options - Advanced
  Filter to refine the events when the sleep problem arises.

  Also check with BlueScreenView for these time periods to see if there are any BSOD Info

• Turn off computer account in Active Directory will still allow the workstation to log

  I have a special scenario. A Windows 7 workstation was locking (pending of CTRL + ALT + DELETE) mode. Until I turned off the computer, the user account and the same account administrator, reset the password for this user and the workstation. My requirement is that the user cannot log on to the workstation again.

  However, the user can connect to the workstation.

  This parameter of register AD might lock the computer completely? or is there any GPO setting that could lock the computer?

  Thanks in advance.
