Why the power settings or prefereances is not working?

When I want to change the settings for the office, use a screen saver or any change in preferences, it will not respond, no amendments are adopted.

Hello

  1. Have you logged as administrator?
  2. What version of Windows is installed on the computer?
  3. What exactly happens when you change the settings?
  4. You get the error message?

I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps.

Method 1:
Try to perform the audit and the boot if it helps;

Method 2:
Try creating a new user account and check if this may help;

  • Why the App Store search function does not work?

    Since the iOS most recent update (9.3.2), the app from the App Store does not work on my iPhone-iTunes app works perfectly, the App Store - space wasted on the screen and memory right now. I tried to disconnect, close the software, restart hard to my phone, but all I get when I try to search is a white screen. I can't even comment to apple in the app because it does not work. It was a time where this kind of thing never happened but the versions of software with major bugs is becoming more of a recurring theme lately. I'm really starting to wonder if Apple jumps right away even the most basic of pre-tests prior to publication just to get out a release. Frustrating to say the least.

    The search function on the App store on my phone work if something is wrong with your system. Try to reset the App Store in the following order:

    Close the App Store completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the App Store preview pane until it disappears from the display. Then sign out of the iTunes Store (in the settings).

    Then perform a forced reboot. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Then reconnect to the iTunes Store.

    I've had this laptop for a few years now, and just recently the comp crashed and required a complete reformat. I lost my recovery CD (let a friend borrow it and he got lost somewhere) and had to use just reformat using my Windows XP pro CD

    After that, I went to the toshibas website and downloaded many utilities that came with my laptop originally, but I'm having a few problems of.

    1. I can't use Power Saver. Whenever I try to open it, it says: "Cannot open because you don't have access rights to open"toshiba Power Saver""
    2 - function keys do not work. The light comes on, but nothing happens when I press a button

    And without people, I cannot adjust the brightness (among others) and we tried everything that I can find

    Someone has ideas how solve these two problems, or know where I can get a copy of the recovery CD

    Thank you

    Hello

    Form where you download the Toshiba tools and utilities?
    It seems that your laptop has been delivered only to the United States and you must use the tools and the American pilots.

    You know the page?

    Visit this link:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

    I think you used the wrong drivers and tools or if you have not installed the applications in the right order.

    PS; Remember that you are logged on as administrator or if you have an administrator rights before you try to run the installation

  • Why the clipping in illustrator mask does not work for me?

    I have a vector skull and bone crossed on top of several images. I want the images to become the shape of the skull and bone crossed, so I have them under the skull of vector in the layer group and I select the skull and the images and go to object > clipping mask > Make, but he makes everything disappear. All that I got is the invisible contour of the skull. This is supposed to be so easy, and I'm extremely frustrated! I use illustrator CS4 if that helps any.

    Sara,

    What happens if you:

    (1) select all / any mutually overlapping bony parts and Pathfinder > unit.

    (2) select all parts of the os and the object > compound path > make.

    (3) select all and object > clipping mask > make?

    Can someone advice how to change the power settings please?
    Thnx.

    Dave

    Hi Dave,.

    You have the "Toshiba common Modules" installed? They must first of all for many models of Toshiba, and power settings module is an add-on for that.

    If you do not have the appropriate restoration or the utility CD handy, the drivers can be downloaded from the Web from Toshiba website.

    I hope this helps, let us know how you go

  • How can I get the airplay icon to appear? Changing the settings of firewall does not work

    How can I get the airplay icon to appear? Changing the settings of firewall does not work

    Hello Drjoe378,

    I understand that you do not see the AirPlay icon in iTunes on your Mac. If you have verified that your firewall is disabled or that the problem occurs regardless of the status of your firewall, there is a little more that can help return your ability to connect to AirPlay devices.

    1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and Apple TV software.
    2. Connect your computer and other devices on the same network Wi - Fi. If you are using Ethernet, connect the two devices on the same router or hub. If you use the Wi - Fi and Ethernet, plug your device AirPlay the same router that your computer uses for Wi - Fi.
    3. Restart your computer, device AirPlay and network router.
    4. Because some Airplay devices include a power switch for AirPlay option, look for the option in the settings and make sure that the feature is enabled. Refer to the user guide of the device for more information.

    Use AirPlay to stream content from iTunes on your computer wireless

  • What is the definition of inactivity in the power settings?

    What is the definition of inactivity in the power settings? Lack of information provided by a user or a process does not? If a computer runs a scan of disks and a user does not input is an active computer or not?

    Hello

    Idle refers to the question of whether or not a device is used. This could be due to a lack of user input. For example, if the user is running a disk check, the disc is in use and is not idle. If the computer has been idle and the hard drive was not used, then the idle development would come into force.

    Thank you

  • When you use Windows Live Photo Gallery SCREENSAVER, monitor off, regardless of power parameters. The power settings work with all the other screen savers.

    Windows Live Photo Gallery screensaver does not extinguish whatever my power settings.  This is the case with Windows Live Photo Gallery.  When you use any other screen saver, the screen turns off according to the way in which the power settings are defined.  It is quite frustrating because I prefer to use as my screen saver Windows Live Photo Gallery.  But he will stay indefinitely if I stop it manually.  Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?   Thank you.

  • I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    Windows has no

    I had to spend my PC this morning. Moving it, I decided to implement a new network card. When I reconnected it all the cables, I plugged my USB mouse on another USB port where it had been plugged in before. The computer is more than 7 years old and I've never had a problem with the front Windows Validation. I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    When Windows checks to see if you have moved your copy of Windows to "another computer", among other things, that his focus on the identification of several strands of material in the computer to see if they are different than when Windows was first installed.  I do not remember the list for now, but I remember that the network card is one of the pieces - and IIRC it is 'valuable' higher than others to reach the conclusion.

    You probably other elements has changed over the past seven years and now Windows has decided to have a "new" computer  Assuming that you haven't changed the motherboard - if you had, you would have had this issue at the time wherever you did--your installation is still legal.  Reactivate using your original license key. It should work online, but you will need to call the number that appears in the error message from re - validate.

  • Windows 7 hibernate after a short time despite the power settings

    System: Windows 7 64-bit

    Recently, my system started into hibernation at random.  Defined in the hibernation after 4 hours in the power settings Options / Advanced, but he often went into hibernation after that maybe 20 minutes left unattended, especially after I have it wake up.  I "ve found many articles on how to change the settings, but nothing on this specific point.

    Has anyone go through this problem before?

    It would help if you said that if this happens in battery mode or network mode.

    If this happens in network mode, you should test if this happens, with or without battery.
