• When I close the lid on my laptop, random programs begin to run.

  1. so here's the deal:

  I have laptop Dell XPS L502X in Win7 Pro;

  b. out of nowhere, and all of a sudden the next irritating problem started havoc. When I close the lid on my laptop at night, random programs begin to run. The desktop icons move into other folders or the trash. It changes the size of the larger icons... it changes even the settings 'snap to grid '.

  2 until you tell me to turn it off or put it to sleep extended mode... I need to let you know that I need to leave the mobile "awake" so that it downloads my incremental changes to Carbonite cloud, as well as my local/resident of mirror [Carbonite] drive.

  3 oh yes: I also went up to disable the 'mouse' integrated glidepoint device, too: same result... madness.

  4 I jumped every hoop I can think... to run the diagnostics runs each available from Norton 360 scan... Online / remote - to both Norton AND Microsoft support.

  Hi Benjamin,

  I can understand your annoyance in that regard. I appreciate your effort posting this query to the Microsoft Forums.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with information to help us better understand the issue.

  1. Did you change in the computer before this problem?
  2. What types of files are open when you close the lid of the laptop?

  Please provide the Event Viewer logs to resolve the issue and the screenshot of the desktop icons.

  Check out the link to check the Event Viewer logs.

  https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308427?WA=wsignin1.0

  Note: However, the link is good for Windows XP, you can check the link to check the computer for Windows 7 Event Viewer logs.

  I suggest that we do a system restore to last good configuration.

  You can check the link below to perform a restore of the system.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/system-restore-FAQ#1TC=Windows-7

  Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  I also suggest you to see the link to create a restore point.

• Food access option for when I close the lid on my laptop cant

  When I go to the control panel and select power options and then "choose the closing cover" it not gives me the ability to change anything. I can see the options there but they are that a little gray color which means that you cannot modify them. I have a Samsung qx410-jo1 notebook and that as far as I know that they do not have a driver for it so I wonder if there is a way to ensure that I can change what happens when I close my lid.

  Sometimes when I put my computer to sleep, it instantly reboots. Its very frustrating because, then I have to wait for it to start so I can try to put it to sleep again, and it restarts again, so I just leave it or close it.

• Computer will not be put into hibernation when I close the lid

  I have a problem with my laptop. It is a series of Toshiba C55. When I close the lid it will not be in hibernation, even if I set power options to do so. This happens not all the time, but it happens enough that it's boring. If I close the lid and it will not be in hibernation, which means that it is in danger of overheating if I put in my backpack. If I use the start menu, it just goes to the lock screen, that's what I suspect it is when I close the lid. Help on that would be great.

  Hello Michael,

  Please keep us updated on the status of the issue.

  I appreciate your time and your efforts.

  I suggest you to update BIOS and drivers from the chipset and check the issue.

  Please update the chipset drivers from this link:

  Update the BIOS from this link:

  Note: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes of the

  the settings are at your own risk.

  I hope this helps.

• Is there an F key that puts your computer to sleep?

  There is a key on the keyboard that puts your computer to sleep?

  N ° you must do it from the start menu or yuu can be programmed to go to sleep when you close the lid if it is a laptop.  You can also create your own keyboard shortcut that will put the computer to sleep (but this isn't an F key).

  I hope this helps.  If you want more information, reply back asking questions about what you want to know.

  Good luck.

• I'm not able to put my computer into sleep mode

  I'm not able to put my computer into sleep mode

  That looks pretty good except some parts are cut for some reason any... GATEWA instead of entry door?  Never seen that before!

  For this kind of issues Stand-By and hibernation, I tend to start thinking about video drivers.

  You did not provide the requested information on your video drivers or the way in which your Stand By button behaves right now.

  If you did a system recovery from the CD supplied with your system, drivers on the recovery CD may be outdated or you may have updated your system in the past - that's why it used to work.

  I could go to the wide wide world of eMachines Web page and see if you have the latest video drivers and update your system if necessary:

  http://www.eMachines.com/support/drivers.html

  Looks like you need VGA driver version 6.14.10.3889.

  You can find your current version by following the previous instructions.

  In the meantime, since you think that your system has a type of infection, I also recommend to do this:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

  Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

• Computer locking when I close the lid

  I have a laptop sony vaio vgn-aw290. When I got it after you have configured the fingerprint reader it would lock the computer when I closed the lid. If I close and open it immediately and it would make me a password. He wouldn't buy support standby or hibernation, it would simply lock the computer. recently, we went to panama, fl on vacation and this feature no longer works. don't know why or how or exactly when. I looked through the settings and power options and may not know how to re - set parameters to lock the lid closed. I also have an HP that has begun to stay unlocked when I close the lid. I would like to know how to configure it to crash when the lid closes, so I don't need the screen saver locks with a password to send it in stand-by or press win + L before I close the lid.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue. 2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next. 3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next. 4. click on finish.

• When a close the lid of my portable computer Windows Media Player stops, and when I open it, it picks up.

  When a close the lid of my computer laptop wmp stops and when I open it, it resumes. This only happens on the battery. I have it set to not sleep, and there is no screen saver. I want to use my cell phone as an mp3 player without having to leave the lid open. is there anyway to prevent a break?

  Open Power Options - you can do it from the control panel by typing Power Options in the start menu, or by right click on the battery icon in your system tray (right end of the taskbar.)
  Click on "change plan settings" for your current power management.  On the next page, click "Change advanced power settings".  On the box that opens, expand 'Power buttons and lid', then 'action close cover.'  Change the selection to "on battery" to the 'status quo', and then click OK.  Close the power Plan window.
