When I go out for a few minutes, the screen shows my user name "Miriam", and it says "Locked"?

When I leave my computer for a few minutes, I come back to find the Compaq screen with my user name in the middle and under my name is the word 'Locked ';  How can I get my computer to stay focused, if I'm going to serve me a cup of coffee or to answer the phone?   I would really appreciate your help!

Hello

Open windows control panel, open personalization, click on screen saver link at the bottom right and in the next window, uncheck the box next to "on the recovery, display the login page" then click on apply to save the changes.

Kind regards

  • Satellite P30-110: the screen is blank, after working for a few minutes

    Hello.

    Can anyone adivse if they have encountered this problem before. After you start the system and worked on the laptop for a few minutes, the screen turns white as if the system is in standby mode. The only way to put it back on is by pressing the power button and everything continues normally until the problem reoccur.

    I have been informed that there may be a button faulty hibernation cela but surely you would say on the screen if the machine was going into hibernation with the usual calendar bar? And the fact that the screen turns back on as soon as you press the button shows his vigil no hibernation.

    Any adviser who can offer are welcome. If you need more information about the problem please let me know.

    Thank you very much

    Hi Paul,.

    If it is just the screen becomes black, but everything else seems to work fine, so I think that your FL inverter may be defective. This is the device that provides the lighting of the screen.

    I suggest that you only contact your nearest ASP for further diagnosis.

    Kind regards

  • When I open a web page any using firefox, its ok for a few minutes, then he opens another page saying it is redirected for no reason at all

    When I open a web page any using firefox, its ok for a few minutes, then he opens another page saying it is redirected for no reason at all, the homepage remains open, but the other page start for no reason at all in another tab

    It's very consistent, he arrives a few minutes? In this case, I suggest this test:

    To find out if one of your extensions is the culprit, could you test mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference?

    If it is a recent development, try to perform a system restore to a time before your problem.  You may need to run from the command line as described in the following article:

    Hello

    Try changing the VGA cables and check if it helps.

    If the problem persists, then I suggest you to update the firmware.

  • Open tabs which unused for a few minutes is no longer working and make me lose the page on what it is.

    I like to keep an eye open at all times, and Firefox has recently begun to spoil my tabs while I've never had a problem with this before. I think it started after the last update of Firefox.

    As mentioned above, if a tab remains open but unused for a few minutes while he was working in the other tabs, logo of the site next to the title of the page (for example Amazon 'a' logo with the arrow below "Your orders" for example) is replaced by the green rotation ring that usually indicates the loading, but it runs a lot faster that it did when it actually does something. When you click on the tab to open it again, it's just a blank tab and I have to manually track down the page that I was again. However, when I disconnect my computer or restart it so that the legs have the rings of green spinning on them, the next time I open Firefox once connected to my computer, it opens all tabs and the correct pages, but that if I did not click on / open one of the tabs so that they had the ring of green rotation thus making their return to blank tabs. If I click on a tab with green spinning ring (making it empty), then log start/stop and reopen Firefox on connection back to my computer, Firefox will have indeed lost the information on the page and he re - opens in a blank tab, as it was when the system is disconnected. On top of that, if the tabs are doing this fast spinning glitch green ring, he did everything I'm working on the slow race, such as making a video shift watching on Youtube. If I see that happen, I am obliged to go click on the tab (loss of his data in the process) and manually go back to the page, that I was still just once so that it stops make the green ring of fast rotation and I can watch my video smoothly, but it lasts only a few minutes before these pages start the glitch green ring once more and I have to repeat the process. Another oddity of the note is that this only happens to the tabs actually, I click on and open during each session. If I restart or disconnect my computer and connect again and restart Firefox, the green ring glitch does not reach one tabs I don't touch during my session. It happens to the tabs that I actually open this session, but it happens to every single tab that I do, I opened this session.

    It becomes very irritating and it's working in Firefox a huge concern, as happens constantly. Please fix this. Firefox has never done this to me before, so I don't understand why it's happening now. I have not downloaded or installed the new plug-ins or add-ons for Firefox, so I know I did nothing to the program to cause this.

    Thank you for picking me up in it. I look forward to hearing back as soon as POSSIBLE and to find a cure for this problem. This glitch is driving me crazy.

    The current versions of Firefox use the sessionstore-backups folder to store a few copies of the sessionstore file to make it possible to recover a few errors caused by a bad closing down.
    The 'upgrade.js with the attached version identifier are created when Firefox is updated.
    Previous versions of Firefox created the file sessionstore.bak with the attached version identifier.
    So that look OK.

    You can start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
