Wireless disconnects if unity CQ61 left idle for more than 5 minutes

Hi, I have a HP Presario CQ61 laptop with an Atheros AR9285 wireless adapter. When the laptop is more like 5 minutes of inactivity, wireless adapter loses the connection to the wireless router. Then I have to reconnect to what can take a long time to do - it's faster restart the laptop.  Changed no settings. Any suggestions?

At a prompt, in the box start the search, or in the run box, type the following command:

MMC devmgmt.msc

Go to network and expand it.
Select the Atheros AR9285 wireless network adapter.
Right-click and select Properties.
Go to the power management tab.
Uncheck both check box.
Click OK, and click OK.

This should solve the problem.

    We need more information!

    Borrowing another post by ElderL (the same "JoseIbarra' that Elizabeth23 already mentioned):
    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    What is your Internet browser and version?

    Do you have the Windows Desktop Search installed issue?

    Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  • Is it possible that I can put in place to make the firefox browser will automatically close if it is sitting idle for more than a specified time

    its simple, my mother and her boyfriend have a real bad habit away from their computers, leaving their browsers on and no matter how many times I tell them that they need to close the browser down when their fact use it unless they know that they will come right back to him and when they know that they wont be with us for a day or more and also shut down the computer , but they leave still on sometimes for days unless I happen to go into the computer room and check to see if its still run this has got to be so bad that our internet provider sends us nasty emails on the internet.

    so is it possible that we can install the browser to off automatically if it is sitting idle for some time that may be determined by the user

    It may be that Windows requires the XP installation CD. I'm sure you would find a solution if you post the question in a Windows OS forum.

  • every 20 minutes or so, the window disappears and firefox hangs for more than a minute. never happened before the last update; IE works fine at the same time

    Not much more to report - sometimes I can not switch to other applications.

    I installed the extension, it seems that there are several options to solve the problems with the places.sqlite file, I ran each option one at a time. I think that it may have helped a little, kind of hard to say. But the symptoms you report seems closely related to what is seen in the blog.

    As noted in the blog, uninstalled later expansion.

    Also, I try to restart Firefox when the CPU get more than 1 hour because things really slow down when the firefox.exe gets nearly 2 hours. For that I use "Restartless Restart" (for Firefox 4.0 and more)

    and I clear the cache in Firefox is restarted:

  • When I start my laptop Vista loaded, I get 'Please Wait' for more than 2 minutes sometimes. What does Vista behind my back?

    I have a Toshiba laptop with no extra or odd options, this is the case whenever I start and it's annoying when Vista was announced as being quick to start.  This small circular thing continues his tail for up to 4 minutes while the 'Please Wait' shines.  Very unsatisfactory.  I also bought the best virus/malware protection money can buy, at least that's what they say, it's a bit like microsoft.

    Check if the same problem occurs if you "clean boot" your system (check this page). This should load Windows Vista without third-party programs. If the startup time is better, then you will need to find or which program is causing the problem.
    However, you can check this page first.

  • Licenses messed up, nobody is at home at Adobe and was waiting for help online for more than 10 minutes

    Updated 9-12 volume license (first mistake).  I was told we could keep volume licensing - went to write in the first person, and it is demanding an adobe ID to register and then does not recognize the license key.  Cannot talk to anyone at Adobe, because all no automated, it seems, no humans.  Any ideas?

    Also, the email addresses are confused for licenses.  Adobe 9 is under an e-mail and the upgrade is another.  Adobe doesn't have more than customer either only the sales of services.  I'm ready to call the dealer and tell him that she be reimbursed.

    Hi Robin,

    Adobe has the customer service...  The quick/more easier way to communicate with them is usually via live online chat, although it cannot be opened permanently.  Is that what you meant by "waiting on live help for 10 minutes"?

    Contact the customer service

    [Search "still need help? [Contact us" below]

    It is the right place to go, as this is a user forum and most of the people here do not have the power to fix the licensing issues.

  • Run in the background for more than 3 minutes?

    Hello

    My application is a timer-app. It works very well for 3 minutes in the background. If I put it on five minutes, it doesn't work (in the background) for 3 minutes, then it stops. (it continues when I open the app again).

    In my view, there is a 'window' of 10 minutes before, but now it's only 3? Is it possible to use beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler or something like that to ask for more time?

    Apple allows only long substantive events for certain types of applications, for example background audio apps, as you have noticed.

    This kind of situation would be better served with a local notification.

  • VMware Tools causes comments hang for more than one minute during the connection

    Hi, I'm under VM Workstation 7.1.0 with Windows XP SP3 as the host and the guest.  When VMWare tools are installed, the guest operating system will hang for 1 to 2 minutes to "loading your personal settings...". "stage.  It seems to be all network activity, but the movies the hard drive on the occasion light.  During the uninstallation of VMware Tools then Windows will connect immediately.

    What could cause this?

    Check the settings of the virtual machine for the parameters as shared folders and locally connected devices. There may be something set up that needs time to 'connect' or probably time out.

  • Windows Update will not work. -Left running for more than 2 hours and always at 0%

    I tried to use Windows Update, and it did nothing.  I have the update for 2 hours and 11-day for my computer downloaded 0% 0%.  How can I get the update downloaded and installed?

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Don't you worry in this regard at the moment, the servers could be a little overwhelmed. It will download when the servers are not so busy.

    There are quite a few updates coming through this month and a lot of people to distribute updates.
