  Found "Save as model" grayed out and cannot save. Recorded with .dwt but saved them "model" does not present as a "site template. Can anyone help? Thank you

  I found the problem. I opened 'File' then saw 'save as template' grayed. Having not worked with models, I didn't know this isn't how it's done.

  What I should have done was file > save as > then clicked the drop-down 'Save as template' menu option. It was a simple mistake. Thanks to you all.

• HP 15 Notebook PC L3Q92EA #ABU: HP Pavilion, 8.1 Win "Please wait" when the unlock screen saver

  Just bought an HP 15 Win8.1 running laptop.  I think it's a huge pain to use.  Once the screen lock is committed, it takes forever to get the login screen to appear.

  I move the mouse or press a key to get the screen to go back, but I see is the screen "Please wait" for more than a minute then a background appears.  Click the mouse and I have one more minute of "Please wait" before the logon screen appears.

  Can anyone help, until the laptop goes through the window?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your concern on the Forums for Support and sorry about the problem you are having. I went through your post and it sounds like I should be able to help with the problem.

  I suggest you perform the test (Test of the HARD disk) on the computer. Follow the steps below-

  • Switch off the appliance.
  • To turn back press the power button and as soon as you release, keep pressing the "ESC" key, unless a screen comes up, you might want to wait a minute while tapping the button.
  • In the start menu, choose F2 - System Diagnostics.
  • HDD test would be under the Test component. (usually, it is recommended to test rapid and wide, but for now because the PC is new I rather suggest you simply run the Quick Test).
  • After you choose the Quick Test, click on run once.

  If he succeeds, you can proceed with the recovery, part if she fails to give a call to tech support at the number mentioned below, since the unit is under warranty, you should be able to get help to get the drive replaced.

  On the recovery procedure, its complete restoration of unit settings factory which means that the data on the computer is cleared and with it, the software that can be installed on it. Please follow the steps below to perform recovery-

  • Switch off the appliance.
  • To turn back press the power button and as soon as you release, keep pressing the "ESC" key, unless a screen comes up, you might want to wait a minute while tapping the button.
  • In the start menu, choose F11 - system recovery.
  • On the next page of options, you can choose - "troubleshooting." (If it is a unit of windows 8, or you can skip this step)
  • On the next page, you will need to choose "Recovery Manager". (If it is a unit of windows 8, or you can skip this step)
  • On the next page in the first column, under "I need help immediately", you must choose "Reduced Image Recovery"
    • Now, here, you can get an option to backup your files, because it would be an option to say - recover after saving files or recover without backup of data.
    • You will need to insert the disc followed the screen - instructions here on and unit should be returned to its original state.

  Now if you need help email us back or call HP SUPPORT @ 1-800-474-6836 [24/7 SUPPORT].

• The icon is grayed out SAVE and SAVE AS option does not work in my Acrobat Adobe Reader ms

  The record command is grayed out when I open a .pdf document in the Acrobat Reader from Adobe viewer. I used to "save under" once opened, but now this command does not work properly, I think it happened after an updated operating system (windows 10), so I thought it was related to her, but I can tell...

  The keyboard Short-Shift-CTRL-S does not work either... but he used to work and it works with other .doc or .odt files

  The point is: why could I do save and save as when already have the open PDF (pdf viewer) before and now this button is grayed out and cannot save or save as the name more? I do nothing wrong using Acrobat Adobe Reader DC, because I do exactly the same thing about what I was doing, and it always worked, so now it's something different...

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance!

  Thanks much Sharma Shivan!

  Magically, it worked for me, when I followed the link that you offer...!

  All the best!

• You just bought a pavilion. It acts like it has a screen saver set to start every 2 seconds

  When I try to type in a search or the username or the password. It's the same as my screen background image and covers Im typing on screen.  If I move the mouse, the info is displayed again.  But the image appears several times, as Im trying to type. Ive been all over the Control Panel, trying to figure out what is the cause.  Help, please. Thank you!

  Hello

  The first thing to check is the "wait time" until the screen saver activates, in which case it is the origin of the problem.

  Open windows control panel, open personalization, click on the link to screensaver at the bottom right and in the next window, set the time in the box "Wait" - say 30 minutes.  Click on apply to save the changes.

  Kind regards

• My screen saver came not at all when my computer has been idle. How should I do?

  The same phenomenon occurs on each desktop. It is a new problem so I think that something has been corrupted.  I have Windows XP Home Edition, but I don't have an installation CD. Do I have to re - install Windows and how do I do this?

  (1) change your screen saver so that it becomes active after 1 minute of inactivity.

  2) change to something simple (white screen) - but REPLACE it with something you don't normally use.  Test it (Preview).

  (3) check your hibernation settings.  I recommend turning them offshore, but at least make sure that the time is longer than your screen saver time.

  (4) check your settings ' Power off Monitor "or"set Monitor to Sleep. "  Make sure that the time is greater than the screen saver, but less than the hibernation.

  (5) reboot your system.

  (6) If you have a wireless mouse - turn it / unplug the machine key.
  Even for a wireless keyboard.
  If you have a laser mouse, make sure that the surface under it's clean/solid color.

  Now, wait.  If the screen saver does not strike after 90 seconds (give him some extra time) - then you have a problem.  If this is the case - one of the things that you did above was your original problem.  Work from there to know which.  ;-)

• Monitor turns off after 5 minutes & password protect when he wakes up. View properties - > screen saver "Wait: __minutes" and "on RESUME, Password Protect" checkboxes are grayed out.

  Help, please!

  I'm on a processor to work, so I've limited the administrative rights on the computer. My work function requires that I propose on the desktop to help others with professional assignments.

  THE PROBLEM: After 5 minutes of inactivity mouse/keyboard of the monitor off on the processor to work, she does not even go to a screensaver first, the screen turns off just in standby mode. When the mouse is moved or a key is struck, the screen lights up with a name/password user. I am developing carpal tunnel / repetitive stress syndrome having to retype my username and password so darn times per day, at the expense of some administrative setting of BOGUS Microsoft Windows... SHEESH!

  When I click on Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> display-> Display Properties-> screen saver , the "Wait: __minutes" and "On resume, password protect" checkboxes are GRISEES OUT [you can't edit these settings] . In addition, the default screen saver is set to void and no matter how many times I change it to something else and click 'Apply' return empty by default.

  TWO SERIOUS CONCERNS:

  Un When I'm away from my desk for more than 5 minutes, if someone arrives at my office, looking for me, it seems that my machine is completely off, so that co-workers can get the impression that I am out of the office when I could very well be just down the Hall.

  Two The Office I'm implemented in a motion sensor energy saving lights in the office, if the lighting turns off automatically too, so if I'm missing in the server room or help someone at their work station for an extended period of time, if someone comes to my office, looking for me, my machine seems to be completely off AND turned off the lights in my room , so it's as if I has not yet come to the office that day there!

  PS. I have a screenshot of my locked dialog box display-> screen saver properties if you need more information. I wish I could download it right on this post to make things clear.

  PPS. Isn't it above described situation in the heart of the reason why employers more these days this demand we have iPhones, BlackBerry and SmartPhones? Because doctors and human beings humans with a bit of common sense finally realized that we must be sure that we move around during the day, at least several times per day, not only the stationary to our office location - watch a screen - ensuring that move us the mouse every five minutes so that our machine is not hibernate and look like it is not to do anything?

  PPP. If Microsoft can not help me with a work around for this issue because this issue is, 'something that I take with my 'network administrator',' kiss my _______! Everyone must be wrong because of the stupid administrative _ like this and if yes - I NEED TO KNOW - maybe I was just not cut for a job on time full computer.

  Hello JDG_SF, welcome.

  These options are very likely controlled by your GP (Group Policy) settings on your domain. Due to the nature of the work of rights how administrative, there is no way to work around this problem, unless you have access to change group policy settings that affect all the machines on your network.

  You would need to access or to change the settings of GP or find someone who already has access.

• My screen saver settings box is grayed out (locked)

  My screen saver settings box is grayed out (locked) and allow me to choose a screen saver, even though my customizations page shows my saved theme screen saver.  How to "turn" the screen saver settings?

  Hi dez9rlady,

  I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the screen saver.

  1 how long have you been experiencing this problem for?

  2. have you recently installed or uninstalled any software?

  3. you experience this with all the screen savers in the list?

  4. what version of Windows 7 operating system is installed on your computer?

  5. you are the administrator of your computer?

  6. your computer is under any active field?

  Go to start > run and type regedit. The Registry Editor opens.

  Find the following registry key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop

  Look for the entry that says SCRNSAVE. EXE and the clear key.

  In addition, if you have an entry that says ScreenSaveActive, delete this key as well.

  Once you do this, you should be able to choose a screen saver.

  Note: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  I'm doing iPhoto my screen saver and I am not given the choice, when I click on "Source".  iPhoto is grayed out.  How can I make iPhoto my screen saver?  I'll just put up my new iMac.

  As a guess I think you need to import your iPhoto library in Photos and chose the photo library.

• Screen saver does not work... wait is greyed out

  Screensaver no longer works.  Waiting time on is gray.  I have no access to this option.  How can I fix this?

  Hi Keren325,

  Sorry for the late reply.

  I do not have Home Premium but I think you need to do Option 3.

  But first of all to create a Restore Point (so that you can go back in case something goes wrong): use method 1 described here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/4230-registry-backup-restore.html

  Then go back to the http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/106343-screen-saver-timeout-period-set-change.html

  Scroll to Option 3 and follow the steps.

  You need to do step 4, ungray too the option 'Wait '.

  Then close and reopen 'Screen Saver Settings' to see the change.

  Also read the comments in this link.

  Good luck!

• Why my screen saver settings are grayed out

  On one user on my PC, I am unable to change the screen saver activation time of 10 minutes.  The box 'on CV.... ' is also unavailable.  Under XP it was only grayed out when the screen saver says 'None '. As soon as you have selected something, then you can change the values.  It's extremely frustrating because I can't make presentations without constantly moving the mouse back to does not not the system to go to sleep.  I went through all my programs and configurations of economy of energy but not available.  I log on a domain server, but it doesn't seem to be a problem with one of the other profiles that I use on the same computer.  I am currently trying to install a bunch of updates and see if it will work, but I don't think it will do as much as they seem to be unrelated with.

  In fact, I got my answer.  It comes from our domain server settings... arrrrrrgh.  but thank you.

  (d) find the entry that says SCRNSAVE. EXE and the clear key.

  (e) also, if you have an entry that says ScreenSaveActive, delete this key as well.

• Why save for Web and devices is grayed out?

  I have Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS X Lion mountain. PS works fine, until today. On some images, I work with, file > save for Web and devices is grayed out. In addition, to save money, the options are extremely limited. It is obvious that I inadvertently clicked on something that caused this, but I just can't understand that.

  I took a screenshot of Photoshop with a test image (test.psd), whose resolution is 72px, RGB, 32 bit, appearance save for Web and devices greyed out. And a screenshot of the Save as dialog box.

  Is the first screenshot to http://eastbrookwind.com/screen-shot.jpg

  Is the second screenshot to http://eastbrookwind.com/save_as.jpg

  I am confused and appreciate much help!

  Right. You work in 32 bits per channel. Change your bit depth.
