Windows 7 turns the display off, but doesn't go to sleep
My Windows 7 will not more in mode 'sleep'. It will turn the display at 5 minutes (by the Power Options settings), but it won't put the computer to sleep after 30 minutes. The screen is off, but the hard drive flashes. The power light on the computer is turned on, not the sleep mode color amber.
If I choose Start, stop, sleep, the computer enters mode "Eve".
How can I get the computer to go to sleep automatically?
Follow the below mentioned steps to solve the problem:
1. click on start and open Control Panel.
2. open Power Options then select the option to change when the computer sleeps.
3. click on change advanced power settings, under Multimedia settings make sure that you don't have to stop the idling to sleep

Now, I'm able to see everything in English once I'm connected, however when windows is start or turn off, the messages on the screen appear in Spanish.
On this basis, make is possible to just switch to English?

Hello
I use Lenovo U400 and I wonder if it is possible to turn off the monitor, only,
Thank you.
Hi CalciumKid,
Lenovo U400 is not a hotkey to turn off the LCD, but as an alternative:
If you are running Windows 7, press the F10 key and choose projector only. This will turn off the internal LCD monitor and switch to an external monitor (if you have not, it will simply turn the monitor off). To switch back, simply press the Enter key.
If you are under Windows 8, press the F10 key and choose the second screen only. To switch back, simply press the Enter key.
I hope this helps.

Windows Vista using Windows features turn on or off does not
I am trying to turn on IIS in Windows Vista using the Windows features turn on or off. I check the box IIS and click OK. Then I get a message that says "Please wait while the features are configured. This may take several minutes. "There is a progress bar but it is blank and there is a Cancel button, but it is disabled. I tried to create a new user account, and it does not solve the problem. If it's any help, when I use the Task Manager to end the task, he said something along the lines of "this programming is waiting for a user input. How can I solve this problem? Is there another way to turn on IIS?
Sorry I have not responded earlier. I never saw your post. Maintenance has been done on the forum yesterday and your message appeared as if by magic.
There are many problems with vista that will most probably never be fixed. If they could have fixed them easily Microsoft would not be rushed on Windows 7.
The only hope would be SP3 but it seems unlikely.
It's a shame because that Vista could have and should have be the best OS to date, but because of all the problems, complain and impatient people and $$$ along Windows 7.
No need to throw your laptop Vista in the drink!
I got rid of 98% of the problems in this way.
When I bought my last laptop I paid extra for the OS DVD and reinstalled the operating system after SP2 came out (and was very happy also to get rid of the full factory image of... Dell put on my system).
SP1 was on my DVD of the OS, so I bought SP2 from Microsoft (it costs $4 more delivery charges) https://om2.one.microsoft.com/opa/Validation.aspx?StoreID=1a7e5dd8-0088-46ce-a7d3-8fa1ab523be0&LocaleCode=en-us and after installing the OS, I installed SP2 before the drivers, utilities and Applications, in that order, and most of the problems have disappeared.

You can create a new profile on the computer and if the desktop icons stay on their position. If this is not the case, the other profile is corrupt. To create a new user profile, you can see the article mentioned below for the procedure.

I have a photosmart 7520 affected by the following issues.
Issue #1: randomly, all lights start flashing market and the screen reads the following:
Error. There is a problem with the printer. Turn the printer off, then on.
I can't find a move that throws this to happen.
#2 problem: When the printer is turned on and slowed down, also at RANDOM times, the printer will "Ding" followed by the flashing light wireless. So what sounds like the cartridges are cleaned, then a sound like the charger spinning or the printhead full running followed from one side to the other, then ending with a "Ding" and then back to normal.
When this happens, the wireless connection is disconnected and then reconnected. Also, this disables the "Scan to computer" function on all computers on the network and manually requires the reactivation of all.
From what I can tell the printer restarts itself.
It is plugged directly into the wall outlet, no surge protector.
Technical support has already go through the stages of the print head, me up to the top of the chain and eventually replaced the printer with a new brand.
THE NEW PRINTER STILL DOES THINGS AS PRECEDENT.
This printer is connected wireless to router Netgear N900. My all current computers running Windows 7, all are on the same network and workgroup and all are running Mcafee Total Protection.
If someone is or has experienced the same or similar problems, I could sure use help.
Solved myself.

I recently changed my router from BT to Technicolor gateway provided by Utility warehouse.
Previously, my iPad easily recognized my HP Officejet 6500 printer has (ethernet) but now this isn't unless I have turn the printer off then on again.
Of course, it is a pain. How can I solve this problem?
Thank you very much
Hello
It seems that the new router may not support multicast or was not configured correctly.
Networking Hello Zero Configuration Apple is the method of communication used by any Apple device and relies on IP multicast.
Some routers does not support multicast or maybe this option is disabled by default.
I wouyld recommend contacting the Technicolor gateway serice provider and check if the access point supports multicasting, or it may require updated firmware or the specific support configuration.
Kind regards
