Why laptops running windows vista arbitrarily arrested after the closure of the cover of laptop?

My wife has a computer toshiba laptop on windows vista. It is not shut down his computer, instead, she closes the lid and turns the computer on his table. There are moments where she opened the lid, she finds the computer stopped. I wonder why he would do this. Is this a vista problem? I have a toshiba laptop with windows 7 and I never have this problem. I hope someone can help.

> There are moments where she opened the lid, she finds the computer stopped.

ONLY "there are moments"? Not always?

There is a setting that will turn off the computer when the lid is closed.

Check this setting...

Start > in the search box, type power options > press enter > column on the left, click "Choose the closing cover" >

to turn off the title screen and put the computer To Sleep section, you can set the time to 1 minute forever by clicking the pointer to the right.

Click on save changes when done.

  • Cannot upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate Edition after the HD upgrade

    I have an ASUS computer which is about five years old and works fine. It runs only Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1.
    The HD has been giving signs which is failing. I bought a new HD and copied the old HD to the biggest news. Everything seems to work fine until I tried to run Windows Update. It does not allow me to update and gives the 8024A 000 error code every time I try to run it. I called ASUS for help and they said
    to contact me Microsoft.

    Thank you

    Harold

    I found the solution to this problem. I went to another Windows help forum. It is to reset the Windows Update program. I tried the one here on the Microsoft site, and it did not work. But I tried this one http://wind8apps.com/windows-update-error-code-8024a000/ and the fist solution worked like a charm. He fixed the update and install issues with Powershell 2.0. After that and a certain number of updates, it's updated, Windows Update will update to the latest version. After this release he went and found many updates, I had to install. So be patient, you're in for a little wait.

    Hello

    you have a very low amount of RAM to run Vista

    System Restore should not perform a recovery plant

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    Acer is usually press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process or through the Acer eRecovery Management under all programs

    How to make the computer recognize cd/dvd players, while itunes is installed

    Hello

    Too many competing products can stretch resources and cause problems. The power below
    be able to get your rear disc with installs it you have in place.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hope these helps.

    Hello

    Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.

    Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?

    Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.

    Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

    It could be the inverter Board or the backlight itself on the way to the outside. Whatever it is, it is definitely a hardware problem and it will take a good repairman to fix. You can contact Dell and see what they would charge to fix this, just to see if it would be more cost-effective to buy a new laptop or have it repaired. Because it is 5 years since it is manufacturing, you can be better to save your pennies for a new :-(
