I have an Acer Travelmate 6292 running Vista. When I connect a monitor and close the lid of the notebook, the CPU jupms to 100% utilisation and the notebook becomes extremley slow. I have changed the power settings for Lid Closed to "Do nothing" If I leave the lid a little open, it operates ok. Only when the lid is virtualy closed does the problem occur.

I am trying to run a batch file in vista as an administrator. I know I can use the RUNAS command, but this prompts me for a password. (and what password is a mystery to me as it's a non domain machine and there isn't a user called administrator, but that's besides the point). What I am looking to do is to replicate the behaviour of Right Clicking on the batch file and clicking 'Run as administrator', then the security box comes up - this is fine, that is EXACTLY what I want to happen. The user already has adminitrator privilages and I understand that I'll never get around the security box coming up - I don't mind this, but I can't seem to find a way of replicating this.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHad to format my hard drive and I used Windows to save my files on an external hard drive. Now I have Windows up and running again but cannot select files that I need to reload on my computer because they are in VHD format. I can do a complete restore, again using Windows, but all that will do will put the corrupt file back on my machine. Does anybody know how I can access these files another way?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIt looks like my Media PC restarted while Media Centre was still running and somehow it has corrupted a couple of DLL files.
OLEACC.DLL
WINTRUST.DLL
I have tried running System File Checker, while confirmed that some files were corrupted, but it couldn't fix them. Eventually I worked out how to change the permissions on those files so that I can manually replace them, but can't find a fresh file to replace them with, either on the Vista DVD or on the Net.
I ran sfc/scannow in administrator mode and it said it had found some corrupt files that it was unable to fix. I opened the C:WindowsLogsCBS directory and it contained 5 files: CBS,CBS.persist,CheckSUR,CheckSUR.persist and Filterlist. I attempted to open CBS but a message says " Access is denied ". The same applied to CBS.persist. I am able to open CheckSUR, CheckSUR.persist and Filterlist. Upon opening properties on these three files the date created, modified and accessed is May-28-09. The dates for CBS are as follows: Created: November-27-08; Modified: June-15-09; Accessed: May-31-09. The dates for CBS.persist are: Created: November-27-08; Modified May-31-09; Accessed:November-27-08. The CBS file is apparently 15.7 MB and the CBS.persist file is 50.2 MB. access the relevant CBS file?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have recently developed a piece of acupuncture training software using Macromedia Director MX 2004. I tested it on all platforms, and didn't get problems at the time. However, I obviously didn't test it on Vista long enough, as several Vista users have reported it hanging at random times. I have since tested it again, and indeed got the same problems (XP users don't seem to have these issues). I have experimented with changing the compatibility mode to XP SP2, but this doesn't cure the problem (although it might reduce the crashes slightly). I have checked the Problem report

I've got a strange situation. Anytime my cd drive is closed my computer lags to the point of no return. It won't load vista until I open the cd drive and while vista is running my computer will just about stop responding. All that moves is the mouse and I can click on things but they won't open until I reopen the cd drive.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just recently built this computer (see specs below) and I'm running into a problem... SpeedFan says my cores are running at 44,48,51,51 (Celsius respectively) and my GPU at 50C. I dont think this is good, since there are the red up arrows and flames next to them. I can post up pics of my rig, but i thought i had it cooled pretty well. I even have a CPU heatsink and fan thats HUGE (liek 100cm tall) that is supposed to cool it and another fan infront of my GPU. How do i fix this! EDIT: When my system uses over 40% of any core, it hits about 50C! Just thought i would mention it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI think this is what killed my last drive. I caught Vista doing this again which was a frustrating problem in the past.
Laptop. Vista set to hibernate when lid is closed.
So I get up this morning, lid is closed, drive light is just on FIRE, Vista is pounding the piss out of the drive.
It will NOT wake up, it will NOT do anything, it's just sitting there pounding the pee out of the drive while it's supposed to be suspended. I watched it for about 15minutes and nothing changed. I suspect it does this often and this merceless beating of the drive is what ruined my last one.
This is not the first time either, I'd gotten in the habit of shutting the machine completely OFF because of this problem, I've actually seen it pegging the processor too (or at least the fans are running full tilt and pumping a lot of heat...with the lid closed and the machine supposed to be in sleep or hibernate.
Vista SP2. I close the cover, the machine is sleeping, everything looks good. Move the mouse, it wakes up and starts running with the cover still closed. Any known fixes? I do want the mouse to be able to wake the machine, but it should not do it with the cover closed.

What I've tried so far to make the window size "stick":
1. Use the Windows Explorer "ALT" key to bring up the File menu at the top of the explorer and choose "close" after resizing my Explorer window.
2. Made sure that the "Remember each folder's view settings" is checked. I've also unchecked it, chose apply, then recheck marked it and chose apply just in case it needed refreshing.
3. Used the "X" button at the top right of the window to close it after resizing it to the size that I want. And finally
4. Chose the upper left corner menu (the one with Restore, Minimize, Move, Close in it) and chosen Close...............
This involves my HP Pavilion dv9000t notebook with Vista Ultimate OS, & HP OfficeJet H470wbt (Bluetooth) printer. I am able to install the printer successfully. However, whenever I attempt to print anything I get a window stating: "Spooler Subsystem App stopped working and was closed". This happens both in Bluetooth & USB connection.
I have wasted my time dealing w/ HP support for almost a year. HP says the problem is with my OS. Per their instructions I even performed a complete recovery on my notebook & reinstalled everything back 6 times & my LapTop has been back to HP for warranty work twice. Nothing HP did or recommended has worked. The 1st new printer was returned & I was given a new one in exchange. Still the problem persists.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFor the past few weeks I've been getting episodes of Windows Mail closing and reporting that "Data Execution Prevention has closed Windows Mail". It seems to occur when I'm in the middle of preparing a message - it has never occurred when I clicked "Send/Receive". The problem first occurred a few hours after receiving a message with three PDFs totaling 5 MB in size. When this first occurred I had the current version of NOD32 (3.0.642) running but I turned off email scanning and the problem still happens every few days. On two of the crashes Windows Mail reported it couldn't find a few messages, and some messages were gone from my Inbox, but after deleting one or two such messages I was able to get back all the missing email. Is the best bet that NOD32 corrupted my email files? Are there other possibilities I should be thinking of or testing for? Is there some way to keep things like this from happening without ditching all my old mail?

View 9 Replies View Relatedwhen i turn on my computer, an error message comes saying "Windows failed to load because a file is missing or corrupt File: Netio.sys Status: 0xc0000221" This started when i was clearing my computer of useless programs, and after i deleted Realtime player or Quicktime player, (can't remember which) an error message jumped from the taskbar saying something about Network device driver. After that every time i start the computer, the "Windows failed to load" message pops up. The first half a year, it was solved by pressing enter, to "Choose an operating system to start: Windows Vista" and then to "Windows error recovery (start windows normally, safe mode etc)" and back to "Windows failed to start", repeating it 3-20 times. Then i had a familiar "Unexpected shutdown" during a game, and now, the "Enter spamming technique" doesn't work anymore. All i can access at the moment is Windows memory diagnostic tool, and Bios setup utility. Is there any way to fix this through the setup utility or some other manner?
