What is wake my computer sometimes in the middle of the night?

The title says the question, with the qualification that HP destop is put to sleep every night and not wake with the movement of the mouse - a combination of keys is necessary.  But something, I suppose a regular activity, he wakes up now and then.

How can I view the event log?

How can I see the Task Scheduler, and what should I look for?

To view the event log, go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer. Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.petri.co.il/vista-event-viewer.htm.

To access the Scheduler, see the following (which shows you how to set up a task):http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Schedule-a-task.  Check for tasks that are scheduled to run at a specific time (as at 03:00 for verification of the Windows updates) or on the occurrence of certain events (such as a network view) - those who would be most likely to be the cause.

I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try to find another cause.

Good luck!

  • What happens if my computer (XP) joined the domain network?

    Hello.  I would like to know a little better on the domain network.  My computer is currently the Working Group on my home network.  I read on the domain network and it is said that

    "If you have a user account on the domain, you can connect to any computer on the domain without needing an account on this computer." (from windows help and support)

    Does that mean exactly?  This means that if my computer joined to the domain, other computers on the same network of domain can access all the files on my computer (the files that I have has not yet implemented to share)? or does this mean that other computers on the domain can connect to my computer as remote desktop? (I do not want that to happen...)

    It seems like a lot that the office uses the domain network and I would like to know how it works.  I read some articles on the field and how to put in place and other things, but I couldn't specify my question.  I appreciate if anyone can help my answer.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Using domain causes a topology around real server (like Windows 2008).

    Companies use this topology because of the size of their system and the need for central control.

    There is no advantage to using such topology for small home network.

    If you use the parameter field and that you do not have a General with your network domain server will not work correctly.

  • When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified. I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.

    Original title: Internet wireless connection

    I use a PC & a cable modem wireless to connect to the Internet.  When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified.  I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.  The only other issue I see is once in a while after it is connected, I noticed that it is to identify the network connection, but I see no problem to surf the web.  This could be a looming problem with the modem, or is it something else?  Should I consider it as my modem is still under warranty?  ARRIS / Motorola wants to charge a diagnostic fee is why I write on this forum first.

    When my computer is blocking my mouse stops and I can't go for a little until the computer starts to move again it happen sometimes and when I want to listen to the music and watching youtube videos they get affected by Frost and they do beep sounds until my mouse was able to move again. I already clean my disk and I scan my computer with essentials, but nothing seems to work, can you tell me what is happening with my computer? I might have a virus, but I've already scanned my lot of time computer but nothing is found. When I look at my task manager, I see two race for internet explore, but I use an internet, I don't know why I'm getting this and I thought it would be the internet because it has the largest amount of space to use CPU and I see my performance top performer sometimes up to 100%, I don't know if this could be part of the problem , but I always get this annoying stupid freezing far if I would be very happy if you can give me any ideas or something?

    Looks like you can have a video and/or audio driver out of date on your system.

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    What is your Internet browser and version?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Now make some clarifications:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    For information about the audio drivers, expand components, click Sound Device, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

  • When I burn CD for my use on the computer, sometimes the order of the songs are returned, starting with the last song first.

    * Original title: Windows Media player

    When I burn CD for my use on the computer, sometimes the order of the songs are returned, starting with the last song first.  This is the CD, or I do something wrong?  This isn't an ongoing problem... most of the time it's ok.  Can I change the order manually. If Yes, where and how.

    Thank you

    Lee

    Lee - there are a number of possibilities. First of all, it depends whether you burn audio disks or data - if they are audio discs, you can check and rearrange the order of songs in the burn list - if necessary - before you start burning. If you drag multiple files to the burn list quite often the last track you clicked on will go upward, so I wonder if it is what can happen. Back with a little more detail if I not quite correctly interpreted the problem. Best regards, Ric.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi Dominic,

    Are you able to get into BIOS to make changes?

    If so, you can try to reset the default settings of the BIOS and check.

    NOTE: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor 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 to settings are at your own risk.

    You can also try to remove all external usb devices that can be connected to the system and start-up and see if the system boots.

  • Received a warning to unidentified on the network computer. Under the status of the network looked up and saw a computer I don't know anything. What is - this and how?

    Original title: computer not identified on the network

    Received a warning to unidentified on the network computer. Under the status of the network looked up and saw a computer I know nothing on my network. What is - this and what that can do. ?

    Implement the security of your network... How to do depends on details. If your network is at home on a wifi router, and then implement WPA2, which will prevent unauthorized as well as encryption of your data access.  Follow these steps on the router itself (once again the details depend on your situation.)

    While I'd love to implement WPA2, WPA2 will not accept my network and I am limited to WPA.  My point is that if it is a wireless intrusion (we don't even know if it's wireless at this point), then the security settings on the router must first be discussed with the manufacturer ISP or router so that they are appropriate for devices and services and programs.

    It could also be a USB transmitter attached to the computer.  It might be the malicious program or a problem with the firewall or a real hack of the computer through the firewall or caused by malicious software (even if you use cables or wireless).  It could be the entire network (but the number of computers which implies) or only this one computer.  It could also be a system service using the network and not really another computer in itself (in office what he says and where - some may be difficult to recognize and interpreted as another computer).  There are many possibilities.  We do not know what the warning generation program or what he says.  More information is needed.  I would also like to work on it - and it can follow to her new home.
