Windows 7 border, active window keeps flashing as if he's trying to tell me something. How can I disable it?

It is extremely annoying. Does anyone know of a setting I can change to turn it off?

Sorry, I found the solution. Windows 7 has an option for the hearing impaired, and somehow he lit. As soon as I disabled it, the flashing border stop flashing. Thanks for your effort, it is appreciated.

  • How can I disable AutoScroll frustrating in Windows 7?

    How can I disable AutoScroll frustrating in Windows 7?  Whenever I try to type, or even move the pointer - the scroll bar active!

    From this study, it seems that the touchpad is extremely sensitive.

    Laptops also used to have built in the scroll bars on the bottom and the right side of the touchpads.  I have not seen one in a while and don't know if they start this new practice.

    If you are talking about just the cursor (arrow) on the screen by moving when you press the mouse button (which is integrated in the touchpad) the only real solution is component to the bottom of the sensitivity of the touchpad via Control Panel and learn to control the touchpad without accidental clicks.  I have a wireless entertainment 7000 microsoft keyboard that has sensitive functions of touch as a touchpad, and it may have a bit of a learning curve if you're used to buttons.  Not be your fingers anywhere which is touch sensitive with release of trigger.

    I suggest to get a USB mouse in option (they can be picked up cheap at any retailer important) because they offer better control everything by being better for you ergonomic that are the standard touchpads.

  • How can I disable the auto restart (following updates) for Windows 7 Home Premium (without messing around w / the register)?

    Hello.  About all of the weeks I have my upload computer files from one day to the next.  It's a 17-hour process, and I don't want the computer off or restarted during this process.  Murphy's law usually results in an update windows & restart related happening whenever I put my computer to download said.  First of all, it is deeply annoying that windows would reboot my computer without asking me (Yes, I realize he asks you, and if you are away for an extended period, he just goes ahead and does it... but really, what the $#! % is the point of asking you if she goes ahead and that anyway when you get him just enough early?)  Wow!  Incredibly retarted the Windows for this.)  But anyway, how can I disable this for Win7 Home Premium?  (As if in the first place is not quite annoying, making it virtually impossible to figure out how to turn it off is like adding insult to injury).  Please NOTE, I've seen some other forum post responses on this site that is: (1) link to an information page on the group policies for system administrators, but nowhere does really explain where and how to access these policies and change them!  (2) has a process that begins with 'gpedit.msc' running, but when I started > box to search for this file, there is no result.  (3) the hacking the registry (seriously?  Please, don't.)  SO, please tell me how to disable the auto restart, step by step, without messing with the registry, for WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM.  Ideally, I'd like to be able to potentially re - activate cela in the future and/or switches back as my usage dictates.  And for the record, it's nut that's not a simple option toggle any, as when my computer or monitor sleeps...  Thank you!!

    Thank you.  I'll do it and change my Windows Update settings.  BUT, FYI, in an act even more incredible, the same night I posted my question here, my computer was said upload, and I was still in place at 03:00 (when Windows is set to d/l and install updates).  I went to the kitchen for a bit and returned to my computer to find a countdown - he downloaded updates and "will re-start in 7 minutes" or so and counting down... I said "AH HA!"  I caught you! "I clicked the button of REPORTER and went to bed smiling that I myself had saved wasting many hours of work.  But when I woke up the next morning... HE HAD DONE IT AGAIN!  This means that it is: (1) downloaded another "critic" (cough) update later in the evening, which seems likely because it took to do this at 03:00 and had already done so... or (2) the REPORTER button defers only during a certain period of time (maybe an hour, or even less, by the look of it) and then do it again anyway.

    This is ridiculous.  As it is not ridiculous to called 9 10 patches 'critical', so critical that an urgent restarting your computer is necessary EVEN IF HE is BUSY WORKING, the substitution of the computer user asks to postpone and reboot anyway is absolutely unacceptable.  How the manufacturers of Windows might think this makes sense, let alone was a good idea?  Reporter should make the computer restarts DO NOT until * I * say he is allowed to do.

    In this case, finish the work of 17 hours, that the computer was in the Middle has been MUCH more critical that whatever is downloaded updated.  NO doubt about it.  I know.  Apparently, my operating system is not smart enough to know.  So to take it upon himself to replace my reporter application is crazy.  And in addition, the operating system MUST be smart enough to understand this - it's really not that difficult - if the computer is a lot of work, something intense, a download that is not finished, a sort of bar of ANY progress on ANY application which is not 100% yet, etc., it should be smart enough to WAIT to reboot anyway.

    Thanks again once, change Windows Update settings so it will download updates but let me choose to install them, since this operating system is so poorly thought.

    Hi imoffshore,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  • How can I disable SLAAC on Windows XP (SP3)?

    Hello!

    In Windows Vista and later versions, you can assign a static IPv6 address and the gateway to the interface via a GUI or alternatively with netsh. Address can be configured statically on Windows XP with

    netsh interface ipv6 add address "Local Area Network" 2001:db8:bad:f00d

    And the itinerary by default with:

    netsh interface ipv6 add route: / 0 2001:db8:1 'Local Area Network '.

    But the problem is that if RA-light router is present on the link, Windows XP will also assign an automatically generated based on the advertised prefix and a link-local address (fe80 ::) address of the router as the default gateway.)

    How can I disable the automatic configuration if the host is statically addressed?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Hi Johnny,

     

    . What is the brand and model of the router?

    Hi NewsAru,

    Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the next\previous buttons in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

    When you try to print an image by using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer it would display all available photos in the folder that contains the image you have chosen to print.

    I have windows vista and somehow my picture turned screen 180 degrees backwards.  How can I fix it?

    Hello FrankHeinsohn,

    Hold down the ALT and CTRL together and then press the left/right/up/down to change the orientation. Press the combination of keys followed by the arrow key to the left first to see if this changes the orientation (you may need to press the selected keys a number of times to get the correct orientation. If the left arrow does not try the right, if this does not work try the high and arrow down.

    Usually, this action solved the problem. If she does not see if you have an icon in the Panel that gives, you go to your video card. Your card might be control NVidia or ATI control panel. Check the tabs until you see an option to change the orientation of the office. Yours, because the cat has his way, is currently portrait, change in landscape mode.
