Windows stay open when the program is closed
I have an intermittent problem that is becoming more and more regular
When I close a program window remains on the screen
I can open other programs then when I close them that their windows remain at the top
Yesterday during one of these events, I opened Solitaire and drag the window to the middle of the screen, but he left a picture behind where he had opened
I could play the game without any problems, but when I closed it the window remained on the screen.
From what I see this is just the part of windows that clears the screen back to the office after a closing program that stops working.
I had another suggestion to try another graphics card
So I did and went for an upgrade at the same time
So far, the problem (touch wood) is not re-appeared
The old radiator of cards has been enough good folk so this may or may not have something to do with it.
If I never use this graphics card in another machine and get the same problem I know then what it was.

10 Windows: Open Windows are resized when the lid is closed
I just do the Windows 10 Pro free upgrade. Everything seems to work very well; except for this problem.
Whenever I simply close and re - open the lid of the portable computer, open windows are resized.
Most of the windows are restored to where they started, but they seem to ALL have been resized and then sized to their previous location. You can tell because that minimize / restore windows can't remember the last full size you used.
But some Windows DO NOT get resized back where I left off. Chrome in some crazy. Sometimes, the window is maximized; and other times it gets sized to a smaller rectangle at the top left of the screen.
You can see all windows sparkle and jumping around when you open the lid.

It's probably a bug; but something made the stop switch resolution:
In the display settings, I put the scale slider to 100%.
In the advanced settings, I clicked on Set A Custom Scaling Level; and I put IT to 150%.
And now the scale seems just like setting the slider to 150%... but there is no resolution switching! No windows jumping around, and nothing strange seems to happen!
So for now, this actually seems to work as expected! It MUST be a bug here...

Hello
Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.
I don't know it must be frustrating!
Let us try the following and see if that helps:
Method 1: You can use Event Viewer to check what is causing this problem. The event viewer is an advanced tool that displays detailed information about important events on your computer. It can be useful when troubleshooting problems and errors with Windows and other programs.
Reference:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-Event-Viewer
Method 2: Put the computer to boot and see if that helps:
A clean boot to test if any element of service or third party application startup is causing this issue.
Reference:
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: When you're done to diagnose, follow step 7 in the article to start on normal startup.
Method 3: SFC scanner.
System File Checker (SFC) scan will replace the missing or corrupted system files on your computer.
Reference:
Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7 system files:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Method 4: I suggest you make a system full scan just to be sure.
Here is a link that will give you information on how to perform a full scan of the system:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
, Note 1: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Note 2: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

How to avoid the annoying little window which opens when I go to close a case?
When I put my cursor close to the x of a file tab to close a folder, a small window opens on the x and I have to wait to disappear before
I can click on the x to close the file. The window that opens has the exact same text on the file tab and seems worse than useless. Is it possible to disable it?
You can turn off 'Show ToolTips' in the preferences (Ctrl + K), Interface (Ctrl + 2), General section.
My ToolTips also do not overlap the close button, in fact the ScreenTip says "Close" when the mouse is over the button, but if you rest a little above the bar, it will display the name of the document. Sometimes the ToolTips much annoy me because I work with floating windows and often paint on the edge of the canvas that causes tool tips display when the image fits in the window. When displaying tool tip, I can't click with the brush top.

Dv6 7000: charging does that when the lid is closed (sleep mode)
I have a laptop HP DV6 7000. The battery doesn't work that when the lid is closed (sleep mode).
If I close the lid and plug in the charger, the light indicates orange and the battery will deliver to load almost full.
If I open the lid before the orange light changing to white, battery icon always says: _ % available (plugged in, does not support).
Several different Chargers give identical results. EACH of them is fully charge the battery in two hours; as long as the cover is closed. If I open the lid, even to say 50% load, the orange light glows white and the battery icon always says: _ % available (plugged in, does not support).
Thank you, Ed.
Hi @ElyMayor
Thank you for your response.
The last thing I can suggest to try a restore to factory. Performing a recovery of system HP (Windows 7)
While the recovery, there is an option to backup your personal files. If you have not already done so, it is now a good time.
Restore files that have been supported to the top using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7)

Any program I try to open display 'open with the program '. New number today.
This morning when turning on my computer, I have tried to open Mozilla Firefox and first the small icon in the tray simply said Firefox.exe is not found. When clicking on the desktop or pulling up the programs in the start menu, I went to "choose the program I want to use to open the file" screen with IE being the only option. What happens now with all my programs to Trillian to Adobe. Images does not open as the programs cannot be found. Internet Explorer is the only program that will open.
The only thing different is the new service pack (2 I think) for vista has been installed automatically last night before to stop. I have antivirus software, etc and ran a scan without finding any problems. Any suggestions as to what could be the cause and how to fix it?

Laptop will not go to sleep when the lid is closed
Separated from this thread.
Same problem here. My settings say that my Toshiba will sleep when the lid is closed, but half the time is not asleep and I can feel it's hot and turns on the fan. I am so frustrated with this new laptop and Windows 8.1. Looks like too many bugs in the software or something. More I am working on the new laptop the more problems that I find, like screen discoloration as well. The forums are useless. I do what they say, and the problem is the same. Forget the call from Toshiba. Needless. Nobody will help unless you pay them money to subscribe. What customer service?
Hello
Thanks for posting your concern here at the Microsoft Community forum. Let me help you with your concern.
This problem may occur because of any change in power on your laptop options. If the default is set to hibernation and standby modes, your laptop goes to sleep when you close the lid, but then the Hibernate timer comes in and wake up your computer first and trying to Hibernate. He cannot go to Hibernate directly from mode 'sleep'. Go into the power settings and either disable hibernation or set the timer on a higher value.
To apply the same setting to all plans:
- Open Power Options by pressing the Windows key + X, clicking Control Panel, click system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
- On the Select a power plan page, click choose the cover.
- On the page define power buttons and turn on password protection , next to when I close the lid, choose what you want your laptop to do, both when it is running on battery and when it's plugged in.
- Click on save changes.
Tip: To save battery power and quickly resume working, select sleep. Sleep is a power saving state that allows a computer quickly resume the operation of full power (usually in seconds) when you want to start working again.
To apply a setting to a specific regime:
- Open Power Options by pressing the Windows key + X, clicking Control Panel, click system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
- On the Select a power plan page, click change plan settings for the plan you want to change.
- On the change settings for the plan page, click change advanced power settings.
- Advanced settings tab, expand it cover and the Power button, action lid, choose what you want your mobile PC to do when you close the lid, for when it runs on battery and when it is plugged in, and then click OK.
I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.

T410 connection when the lid is closed
I am portable computers T410 deployment to the field, but users report the network connection drops when they close the lid. I checked that the PC is not in standby mode. I have the settings of Thinkvantage Power Manager to do nothing when the lid is closed and allowed InstantResume to stay online for the max of 99 minutes, but which is not helping. I still adjusted power profile settings to not go to sleep for an hour while on battery. Laptops running Windows XP Pro x 86. Any help would be appreciated.
It turns out that the issue was a question of power settings. Disabling the sleep settings and disabling sleep by closing the lid solves this problem.

Disable the scheduled task when the cover is closed
Hi all
I'm working on a project using a Panel (with several buttons) and scheduled tasks.
The problem is that when I close the Panel, scheduled tasks continue to run in the background.
So, I wanted to know if there is a way to kill these tasks when the cover is closed.
Thank you for your time!
Ekibyo
I don't think you don't need none of that: what you need to do is store the Panel object in a global variable or a property of your script object and then try to access in the task code.
So let's say that you store the window in a global variable:
var MyScriptPanel = this;
Then in the task code, you should be able to test if the Panel object is still valid:
try { // Atempt to access a dummy variable: // - will return undefined if the Panel is open // - should throw an error if the panel is closed MyScriptPanel.a; // Do your thing and reschedule the task } catch (err) { // Cancel the task }
Tell me if it works.
After using many scheduleTask I must say don't really like it: I have not tested in CC, but you may notice in CS4 to 6 that it resets the cursor when the mouse is not moving or ignore some shortcuts keyboard, so I would recommend not not to schedule your task too often, or at least give the user a way to select the frequency of execution.
EDIT: as your line is not fair:
panel.onClose = Panel_Close();
It should be...
panel.onClose = Panel_Close;
... with no '()' so that you copy only the body of the function in the callback to onColse. But I wouldn't rely on the events of the UI for something that should work every time.

I have an Inspiron 15R (5537) which has all the latest drivers from Dell BIOS A01 Reference (Windows 8). I have the options of closing the lid set to "do nothing" for the two battery and plugged in, but no matter what I try, when the lid is closed I can't the laptop to wake up via USB keyboard or mouse.The keyboard and mouse have the wake-up option enabled in the settings of their material. I also wake up from USB enabled in the BIOS.What is interesting, is that if I put the computer to sleep with the lid open, I can wake him up from the keyboard or the mouse. But with the lid closed, the only way to wake up, it should open the cover and press the power button.Anyone know a solution to this?Summary:Cover open: CAN wake from USB keyboard/mouse.Cover closed: don't wake up if I open the lid and press the power button.
Pete,
Depending on where you live, you will have the rights of consumers. I live in Australia and we have pretty good consumer protection.
I asked Dell - repair, replace it with one that works, or pay back me.
They went away for a few weeks, and when I "called home" a few times, they acknowledged that they could not solve the problem and offered me a full refund. The laptop was picked up yesterday and I expect the refund within about five days. The guy on my "case" has been very professional!
I guess that you informed Dell FORMALLY of the problem via a support ticket?
I did that and followed by chat and phone calls.
Whist, the ability to wake up via USB is not explicitly described in any of their literature, the bios has available and W8.1 has the facility. they built it all - EXCEPT that they forgot the lid...
see you soon
