Windows 7 beds - in wake up no icons, just background, does not

I just installed Windows 7 today, a clean installation and for most work very well as long as he never sleeps. The screen is set to fall asleep after 10 minutes and set HARD drive to sleep after 30 minutes. When I try to wake up talk of the screen, I see the background, but all the icons/task start bars/etc is missing. I can't do anything to make them reappear.

    Your anti-virus software is in conflict with Windows updates. You can test this by temporarily disabling your antivirus:

    Disable the antivirus software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished.

    Hello Ann,.

    If you allowed them access to your PC, then it is a problem. I considered reinstalling my OS and change all my passwords. It would also make sense, if you use the online banking etc., to inform your bank that you have a security hole on your PC. This will alert them to anyone using your current password to the Bank etc.

    Hi UbinTook,

    You found this message from Windows Media Player due to one of the following reasons.
     
    a. you try to play a file that is not supported by the player.
    b. you are trying to play a file that the player does not support, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.
     
    Step 1:
     
    Confirm that you are trying to play a supported file type. The following article lists the types of files (formats) supported by Windows Media Player.
     
    Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992
     
    Note: if you have tried to play the file type is included in this table, the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.
     
    Step 2:
     
    Download the necessary codec to play the file.

    • Create missing files that are listed in the error message.
    • Exclude files from the files to backup in the backup settings and then include these files in their original location. To exclude folders in other communities and to include these files in the original location, follow these steps:
      1. In Control Panel, open backup and restore.
      2. In the section back up , click change settings.
      3. In the dialog box Configure the backup , click Next.
      4. In the dialog box that you want to save , click Let me choose, and then click Next.
      5. Expand data files, library, expand additional locations, and then click to clear the check boxes folder AppData, Contactsand Research .
      6. Expand computers, expand the element of your system drive (for example, expand Local disk (c)), expand users, , and then click to select the checkboxes AppData, Contactsand Research if they exist.
      7. Click Next, and then click Save settings and exit.
      8. Backup and restore, click back up now to perform a new backup. The backup operation must complete without errors.

    Hello

    My Vista PC crashes. I think it has something to do with the screen saver, memory, HARD drive or energy economy. The accident appears as frozen screen and sometimes the program says State "program does not. I have tried different tricks like turning off screen saver, change the setting for power, HARD drive always 'on '... But no changes have so far resolved the issues.

    I was not able to identify a single application or function as the source of my problems...

    My Vista works very well, but if a leave as the computer and screen saver starts or the computer screen will energy efficient, it will crash when I "wake up".

    I've updated the system and all the applications and drivers, but the system is still unstable and cannot be left for an extended period of time before this crash. As long as I'm working on the PC all works. If I leave my PC, I have to turn it off.

    Hello

    Did you change your computer?

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    I suggest you check in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    If you are able to start your computer in safe mode, I suggest you perform the clean boot and check.

    Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows 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.

  • Cannot "turn on media streaming" - another user of Windows 7 with the same problem and the "suggested correction '' does not.

    This windows bug has been reported and 'responded' before by several people, but the "answers" do not work for me - and they do seem to work for a lot of people in this area and other forums.  I hope you can provide me with a real estate diagnosis, a reason for why this happens and a real solution that works for everyone.

    I'm trying to 'Turn on media streaming' in Windows Media Player so I can listen to my xbox and other home theater equipment.  The problem I have is the same problem as [of] other people have reported: in Windows Media Player, I press the turn on the 'link', the button greys streamin media shortly, but then nothing, and streaming is not enabled.

    I don't have a network problem.  I was able to extend Microsoft Media Center on my xbox.  (simply not enable streaming in WMP).  With media center extended is a large (better) workaround for the xbox, but this isn't a solution for my other home theater devices. I need to be able to listen to my receiver and blu - ray player, as I have done on my old PC running Windows XP.

    I have a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro, x-64 on a new machine of self-building.  Everything else works, it is not the machine.  I installed all the latest drivers for my machine.  I have all the updates for Windows 7.  I run the Windows Firewall and Kaspersky Anti Virus 2010.  I installed Microsoft Office 2007, Outlook 2007, Visio 2010 and many other applications 'standard '.  I'm not under any program of low-level "weird."

    As other people "suggested", already tried the action of the outgoing WMP, stop the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service using service.msc, then by removing the .wmdb (and other files but not directories) by my dirctory users/xxx/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Media Player, restart the Service of network share WMP using services.msc and then restarting WMP.  This had no effect.  (I tried several times with and without having to restart WMP network sharing service manually.)  I tried to change the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, tab log (the default on my system) Network Service to Local System with "allow service to interact with desktop" chosen as someone another "suggested".  This does not seem to do anything.  I also tried to uninstall WMP and WMC player (using "turn Windows has or disable"), restart, then adding them and reboot.  This time this icon "turn media sharing on" returned in WMP (the icon is usually party WMP Stream/turn on media sharing window).  This time Windows 7 Pro thought a little longer before doing nothing.  (However, now I get a message error "an error has occurred. Not all features have been changed successfully. "in an attempt to"Reinstall"Windows Media Center after you have reinstalled WMP.)  The resettlement of WMC has returned an error.  I can no longer start Windows Media Center on my PC.

    So, by all posts on this topic, its obvious this is a real bug in Windows 7 (maybe?), (perhaps only on x - 64?).

    Just two more things on my setup... I did not initially set up homegroup (because I have no other Windows 7 machines), but I tried that implemented to see if it had an effect (it didn't).  The part only 'weird' of my installation, I mounted my D: drive (2nd hard drive) in C:\Users (because I use a Solid State Drive for the operating system on C: and don't want the user data on this subject).  This has not caused other problems, but I wanted to throw it out there in case Windows Media Player sharing is something weird here.  (And no, I'm not going to 'try to change' that, unless it is a known fact that that's the problem - and then I would need a different solution to move my user data off the coast of the SSD.)

    So please, let me know what is the real problem why it happened to me (I'm sure some people can turn on streaming in WMP), and what is the real solution.  (There seems to be a multitude of suggestions on the web for all kinds of different 'fixed', but which, if any, is the right one?)  Please do not just suggest things to try.  What is the right benchmark?

    Go to network and sharing center open view full map, right click on your PC and click on manage.

    then open services and applications, and then serivces and find Upnp device host, right click and click on reboot and make sure that it is set to automatic.

    Now scroll down to Windows Media Player Network Sharing service, do a right click and click on reboot and make sure that it is set to automatic also.

    It should work, it worked for me and everyone I know but... The only problem I have is when I restart my PC, the drive share Windows Media network service changes from automatic to automatic (delayed start) and I have to restart again the Upnp device host and Windows Media Player network sharing service.

    Other than having to do every time I restart my PC, it works perfectly.

    Also, if anyone has an idea of why it changes (delayed start) let me know thanks...

  • The battery icon says connected does not support

Looks like a domestic framework does not work. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Original title: battery icon says not connected charginr

    Hi nancypalmiter,

    1 - is your laptop battery charge when turned off?

    2 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    Sometimes, the problem may be with the laptop. The battery isn't bad, but it could be a loose connection or hardware problem with laptop. It will be the right idea to get the material under test if the battery of the laptop is not getting loaded even if the laptop is turned off.

    You can also try the BIOS update and check if it helps. You can get in touch with the system manufacturer for assistance for the update of the BIOS.

    Warning: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.
