You are using Windows XP, is it possible to turn off my computer at a certain time each night?

I saw a post on the instructions for the use of Windows 7, but I couldn't figure out how do it with XP.  This can be done?

Use the Task Scheduler

  1. Click Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, and then select Task Scheduler
  2. Click on add scheduled tasks
  3. in the next screen, you will see a list of programs, select Browse
  4. in the file locations box type shutdown /s /t 60, 60 will give a 60 second warning before shutdown occurs, do not hesitate to change it if necessary
  5. Follow the rest of the guests of the wizard to schedule the task, defining the task will run every day and at the time where you want

If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask, good luck

  • 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.

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  • If you are using windows 7 in xp mode my display settings are low and I can't adjust the parameters of why and how can I fix

    why I can't change my screen with windows 7 in xp mode and how could solve the problem

    Hi tmjmech,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    Settings and change integration features

    When you run XP Mode, it is possible to change the material and data that are automatically integrated into the virtual pc. To change these settings when in Office XP Mode, click the Tools menu and select settings. You will now be in the settings of the virtual machine screen and click on the category of integration features . From there, you can specify what material and features that you want to embed or share with your desktop computer XP Mode.

    These features are:

    ·         Audio - this must be disabled so that you have the best performance. It should be noted that even with this unchecked, all its XP desktop mode will still play through the sound card of your host.

    ·         Clipboard - if this is enabled, then you will be able to copy and paste between XP Mode and your normal desktop.

    ·         Printer - Sharing host your printer with XP Mode.

    ·         Smart cards - XP Mode allows access to the host chip cards.

    ·         Disk - XP mode to access the host players, which include hard disks, CD/DVD players and removable media.

    All changes made to the above settings will be persistent every time that you start the XP Mode. However, if you disable the integration of a particular session, you can click on the Tools menu and then select disable integration features. This will make it so that you do not have access to one of the resources of the host. To enable access to these resources, simply click on the option to enable integration features in the Tools menu.

    Change the XP Mode Virtual Machine settings

    If you find that XP Mode does not work as fast as you want to, or you want to add more features, you must change some settings in your settings in Virtual PC for XP Mode. To change these settings, you must first stop XP Mode so that it is not in a State of hibernation. To do this, click on the menu on Ctrl + Alt + Delete , and then click close on the screen that appears.

    When XP Mode stopped, click the Start Menu, select all programs, Windows Virtual PC, scroll down and then click on Windows Virtual PC icon. You should now see a list of your Virtual PC, including Windows XP Mode. Right click on Windows XP Mode, and select settings. Now that Windows XP Mode is stopped, you can change the settings of your virtual machine. The parameters that you may consider to change to increase the performance and reliability are:

    1 memory
    -if you find that your applications are running slowly, then you can raise it so that your applications have access to more memory system.

    2 hard drives
    -you are able to add more 2 hard disks to your Windows XP Mode. So if you need to add another disk to your Windows XP Mode, you can do here. This will allow you to create a second disk on another physical drive of your computer to improve performance.

    3. cancel the disks - disks of cancellations allow you to create a base of your installation of Windows XP Mode image and then save all changes in a disc of cancellations. So if you need start from your base image, you just go back to settings and ignore the changes in your drive of cancellations. The next time that you start Windows XP Mode, you will be back to the basic configuration with any changes you have made to scrap. I suggest that everyoneturn this option on because it only increases the safety of your installation of Windows XP Mode.

    When you have completed your changes, just click the OK button to save the changes.

    When you then start Windows XP Mode, these settings will now be implemented.

  • You are using Windows 7, 64-bit and cannot open Outlook 2007...

    I found several recommendations to 'start Outlook with the resetnavpane switch.'  But I am so totally helpless on how to do this. The instructions State: start-> type; Can Outlook.exe/resetnavpane I do this in the command prompt?    (guess I don't have to explain that I am new to this).  Thanks for any help.

     
    1. Open the run command via start-> run or press the Windows Logo + R on your keyboard.
      If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can also open the Start Menu and use the search field to type to the next step.
    2. In the box you opened in step 1, type; Outlook.exe
    3. Press the SPACEBAR once and then type a slash mark (/) followed by the switch that you want to use (see list below). For example, if you want to use resetnavpane the command you type in the Open box should look like this:
      Outlook.exe /resetnavpane (note the SPACE)
    4. To execute the command, click OK.

  • You are using windows 7, how can I get my Officejet Pro K8600 print on paper 13 x 19?

    I bought a laptop with Windows 7. Now I can't get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print correctly on paper 13 x 19. It prints on paper 13 x 19, but everything is 8.5 x 11 in size. I click on print, click Properties, change the Super B 13 x 19 paper, press ok, watch box paper 13 x 19 with images by filling out the document, I click ok to print and it prints the image 8.5 x 11 in size on paper 13 x 19 rather than fill the paper 13 x 19. I did not have this problem (and still haven't) with my old laptop with XP. It is the operating system or is it a bad setting in the properties? I tried to compare the property settings in both computers, but I can't find any differences. I don't think it's the driver... Please help!

    Hello HW,.

    Try this: go to devices and printers and right click on the of K8600 Officejet Pro and click on printer properties. Go to the Advanced tab and click on the button called Print Processor. Select Winprint. Try another print and see if it works now. If you still see the same question to see if there is an option of scaling in the print dialog in the application you are printing from.

  • How can I do an update instead of a new installation if you are using Windows Anytime Upgrade from Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate?

    I have a server at home, but one of my main computers cannot remotely access because it is running Vista Home Premium.  As a result, I bought a Pack anytime upgrade to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.
    When I ran the installer, it downloaded updates to update and then opens a screen where the options are updated or install fresh.  However, the update option is grayed out and there is a message at the bottom of the screen saying that if I want I must must upgrade to a newer version of Windows.
    A new facility is out of the question for me.  I'm almost 2 years of work on the machine and it is set as I want.  I have a few training licenses, I don't think I'd be able to reinstall it.  Besides, I don't want to spend days and days software and reconfigure my system.
    I have a Windows 7 Ultimate machine, but I want to leave this machine as a Vista machine.  At I throw my money on the upgrade pack or is there someway around this problem?

    Looking for a difference in numbers/Service Pack levels.

    If Service Packs came pre-installed on the operating system, there is no way to uninstall them.
    You will need to swap the disk to upgrade to a later version that includes the missing Service Pack.

    On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you which SP you have install.
