Why my computer shutdown when I close it?
I have windows vista. and since a few days now, I have my shutdown on me when I close. for some reason now its shutingdown without reason. I got this height to download a fix, but he says that he cannot solve the problem. We know what could have my computer. more when I shut down the computer its not hot or anything so overheating could not be the reason why his shutingdown. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello
Control Panel - Power Options - on the left side - choose what closing the lid is
If they are configured as you want, then change to something else as if you plan to leave
It then change it back to what you need.
I hope this helps.

Why my computer crash when I play Minecraft?
Why my computer crash when I play minecraft?
Original title: the computer crashes
To allow someone to help you, you must provide additional information.
For example:
-How and when it crash (i.e. it just do not start, or the game starts and then crashes to the desktop, etc.).
-Are there exact error messages or error codes?
-What are the specifications/brand/model of your PC (RAM/CPU/GPU, etc.)
If the game is designed for an earlier version of Windows (e.g. Windows XP) have you tried compatibility mode to see if it works OK. Or try to install the game via this mode as well.
In the meantime, does that help? (found through a search fast V forum)
But you can be better to ask here (if you have not already done so).

Why or what are the causes of computer shutdown when prompted ccc.exe?
When the computer is shut down, one element always remains... ccc.exe still running. It does allow me to stop. I am told that it has to do with the ATI radeon card. What can I do to prevent or eliminate it?
Hi TFossil,
It's not malware - it is a legitimate program. Why it does not close when you close it down is another issue - I'm not sure about this. I guess it's possible, it's perhaps because of malware (malicious software can cause almost anything), but I tend to doubt. I'm more inclined to believe there is a problem with device drivers or maybe some corrupt system or program files.
This is the program file for the Catalyst Control Center (associated with the ATI radeon card). Here is an article explaining the program, what it does, how to disable or stop leaving, how to remove this and other related information: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/8679/what-is-ccc.exe-and-why-is-it-running/.
To simply update the ATI drivers, see: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx. You can also update your version of the Catalyst Control Center as well - make sure you're there. To find the version you have, it is normally in the Help menu, about CCC, but in case of doubt, then just get the most recent version applicable to your card and your version of Windows and see if that helps. It can't hurt to do this (update drivers and software are always good to have), but I would try personally follows first to see if that solves the problem. If so, and I think it is, then you can always do the updates under less pressure (but don't please don't ignore what updates can also help in other ways).
You should be able to stop the Catalyst Control Center to start at startup by clicking on start / all programs / accessories / run and type msconfig.exe, and then enter. Go to the Startup tab and look for the Catalyst Control Center and uncheck the box next to it to keep it from running at the next startup. Save the changes and reboot. The system will now start without this program, so it will run only if you manually open the program to make changes (if needed or desired) and since it is not running, it won't be there to close to stop. I'm not 100% certain (but very, very close) that you don't need the program for the card to function properly, but I sincerely doubt. I have something similar (a Catalyst Control Center for my ATI card) and do not have this program running (I removed it from the start almost immediately and I don't really know if I never actually used it my video is fine as it is).
Although I don't know if it's free (I don't get that far), here's how to join the technical support of AMD, which should be able to help with this problem: http://support.amd.com/us/contacts/Pages/global-technical-support.aspx if nothing else works.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

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.
Hi Mr. Folse,.
Thank you for visiting Windows Vista Microsoft answers forum.
You can follow the procedure below to change the Power Options.
1. Click Start, then Control Panel.
2 double click on Power Options.
3. under "Advanced", set the option "When I close the lid of my portable computer" according to your preferences.
If the steps above fail then I suggest to run a system restore to a date when the option was working properly.
To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
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.

Why my computer restart when im installing software?
Every time when I tried to download any software or program my computer restarts automatically all trying to download it is 32 bit please help me thanks.
Hi Garriez,
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2. you receive an error message when the computer restarts?
3. what web browser do you use to download the software on the computer?
4. only so happens that internet download software?
It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

BlackBerry 10 blank homescreen - why do I need when I close my apps?
I'm a kind of a user who cares about the battery life and tries to preserve as much as possible. Which means that I turn my apps turned off as soon as I'm done with them.
With the latest version of the OS, which leaves me with a screen completely blank and pages 1 and 2 drawer app. As soon as I turn on my phone, I need to scroll through the empty home screen as I don't have any running application.
Is it possible to not having a home screen when there are no running applications?
Wouldn't make more sense to have the operating system recognize this and go me directly to page 1 where I can choose the app I want to run in the first place? A blank screen is waiting for an app to be launched in the future makes no sense to me.

Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update

Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral

each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install

I changed my computer from XP to Windows 7 and migrated my FF browsers. But... now the tabs at the top of the page are all right (they were upper-front left - where I loved her)
The most important is the "open a new tab" + - is on the right. But that is not sensible. Why you put "Open a new tab" on the extreme right of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?
How can I put my "open a new tab" immediately to the right of 'Close tab' - as if it was before?
