Windows 7 starter edition: sceensaver not committed and does not turn off display

I have Windows 7 starter on my Acer Aspire One.  The display has stopped turn off automatically (as it is supposed, by the power settings) when the computer has been sitting idle for some time.  I checked the power settings several times, as well as turned on the screen saver (but it won't commit).  I checked the display drivers & they are up to date.  I have not all connected devices that might wake the computer.  I have not installed new software recently and have any kind of function "awakening."   l normally play music by the bias of Windows Media Player or stream music online (Pandora and live365) when I fall asleep and so don't want to close the lid, but want the computer turns off the screen so that it would light up the room all night.  Please let know us what could go wrong.  Thank you!

Hello

Method 1: Run the troubleshooter of power

You can run the troubleshooter of power to set your computer's power settings. The resolution of the problems of power check things as settings timeout of your computer, which determines how long the computer waits before turning off the display or enter the mode 'sleep'.

  • Default configuration Windows update restore changes do not turn off your computer.

    I'm running 64-bit Windows 8

    Guard saying default configuration of folds by using Windows Update

    Hi Cris,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?

    I understand that you can not install some updates with the error message "failure of configuration of the Windows updates...". ». I can imagine the disadvantages suffered by you and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem.

    First place, according to the error message, I suggest you to try the steps in the following article and check if it helps.

    "Configuration of the Windows updates failed. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer"error when you try to install Windows updates

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.


    The question may arise if the Windows downloaded update packages are corrupt. So, if you are able to start the computer successfully after following article provided above, I also suggest you try the following steps and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Try to run that Windows update utility provided in the following link.

    Problems with installing updates

    Try to install the updates after running the troubleshooter.

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to use Deployment Image Servicing and Management to fix Windows Update errors.

    (a) open an elevated command prompt. To do this, press the Windows key + Q and type in CMD right click on command prompt in the list and select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    (b) type the following commands. Press enter after each command

    • DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
    • DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    (c) close the command prompt, and then run Windows Update again.

    Check if the problem persists.

  • Takes 5 minutes - start Message: Configuring Windows Update 0% complete do not turn off your computer. Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system, works fine, but I get this stupid message whenever I start.

    How can I get rid of this stupid message and have a normal boot.  This took place yesterday, and it's a real pain.  How can I get rid of this.

    I had this problem 2 days in a row. Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. "Automatic updates" not ended and I got the same message on restart and had to wait for it to timeout.

    I tried "manually" update, and that fixed the problem.

    Go to the control panel. Click on system and security. Click on Windows Update and follow the instructions. I selected the updates recommended, installed and rebooted. Problem solved.

    (I have no idea why this problem occurred. In the "Windows Update", I opened the "update history" and saw the 'Impossible' updates, but I don't dig deeper than that.)

  • Windows 7 Starter Edition and LabWindows/CVI

    Hello

    I have two questions/problems with an application written with CVI 9.0.1 and CVI 2009 respectively Windows Vista professional.

    First if I have a distribution of my software package (or a version of a sample distribution package) and you want to install it on a netbook with Windows 7 Starter Edition Setup displays the following error message:

    "This product does not support Windows Starter Edition."

    Is this just a restriction of the installation program, or CVI will never support the Starter Edition?

    We often sell these netbooks as well as our units of measurement as an input/output device. But I think that in a future close all netbooks will use Windows 7 instead of XP and above all the Starter Edition.

    So if it is not taken in charge this will help upgrade netbooks to Windows 7 Home Premium? I have already tested Windows 7 Professional and it works, but I do not want to install Professional on a netbook...

    My second question also the Starter Edition.

    I'm building a kit of distribution of working space example "interp.cws" (curve fit and Interpolation) with the runtime engine installed in the application directory. If I run the .msi instead of the setup.exe package then the software has been installed on the system.

    So I can run the software, and it seems to work. But if the software calls a function in the library of analysis advanced (for example, the Spline Interpolation) it does not work. With remote debugging I discovered that there was a nonlethal runtime error "the analysis DLL library is not found or could not be loaded" during the spline function calls.

    The same sample works fine with Windows 7 Professional.

    Is this also a restriction of the CVI, and will be the reason (or one of the reasons) did not support the Starter Edition?

    Or is there a workaround for these errors?

    Best regards

    M.S.

    National Instruments supports Windows 7 Starter; However, just as now, our facilities are defined to stop any Windows Starter Edition is detected.  This is because XP and Vista Starter Editions were marketed to emerging markets and had severe limitations of performance.

    You should make sure that your specific product supports Windows 7.  If this is the case you can follow the instructions in the knowledge base
