How Do Stop The Computer From Going Back To The Log On Page After It Has Been Idle
May 5, 2010
I want to know how I can prevent my computer from going back to the log on page after it has been idle for a time. I would simply rather touch the laptop pad and just be able to pick up from where I left off instead of having to sign in all over again. I use Vista Ultimate. I have tried going to Personalization and the Screensaver page and checked to see if the On resume, display logon screen has been unchecked and it has been all along apparently.

I use my laptop to play an MMoRPG Game and I noticed it runs extremely slower than a few months back. I also noticed the System Idle Process is running and using 90% of the cpu. Is there anything I can do to speed up my computer or to stop the System Idle Process from using up all the CPU?

When my Vista Home Premium-SP1, is idle for awhile, the computer freezes. the screen is a grayish color and the mouse circle just keeps twirling. I have to manually re-boot. Everything is fine until I leave and come back...and it is frozen again. I cannot ctrl-alt-delete either. When I went to do a system restore, I saw that all my restore points were gone. How could this have happened? I thought maybe a windows update could be the source so I uninstalled the many updates (approx. 25). the next morning, I saw they had all returned even though I have it set not to download automatically.

Why do I have to click twice (instead of once) to go back one page in IE8. I looked for a setting but I can't find one. I always before only had to click the back arrow once and it would go back to the previous page.

On installation of Vista on my Lenovo Laptop the homepage in IE was set to Lenovo, I have changed this to BBC/NEWS and set this to be the only homepage I want. However at least 2-3 times each day it reverts back to Lenovo homeppage, I then have to reset it back to BBC/News.

When I was using XP I simply activated port 80 from my firewall to allow outside access to a page located in my localhost. Could anybody tell me what do I have to do in Vista to make my pages accessible from outside?

I've been getting a lot of blue screen stop messages that halt mycomputer. About 2 weeks ago this was happening once a day. It became more frequent until yesterday it was happening every time I tried to boot up during the boot process. Last night, I finally copied off all of my files, formatted the hard drive, and installed a new copy of Vista Premium. Believe it or not, I still have the same problem - although now I can boot up and get some work done before a crash happens.
This is a Sony Vaio laptop with 1.25 gigs of ram and a 70 gig hard drive. The error messages are always different. I didn't write any of them down, but they are like "Subset not less than zero" and "Page fault in non-paging area" and "IQL server not found" (I'm sure these aren't right, but you get the idea). So, how could this be happening on a clean and formatted hard drive with a brand new operating system? Is the problem in the BIOS or the motherboard or somewhere else?

Everytime I return to work after putting computer to sleep, the computer wakes up without no problem. But once I move the mouse, a shadowed box appeared. With the moment of the mouse, the size of that box enlarges or shrinks. If I click on the mouse, that box disappeared but then a window [View/Sort by/Refresh/NVIDIA Control Panel/New/Personalize] opens. I close this window, only to find the pointer of mouse stop working and the screen is frozen. For now I solve the problem by two ways described below, but it is very annoying to have to do it everytime I return to work from Sleep.
1.I open Task Manager, do nothing, and close it.
2.I right click the mouse on desktop, change the size of Icons. Repeat this action one more time.

The new year has brought new resolutions, including a question from a reader who asked my recommendation for the best ways to back up a PC. My real recommendation is that you actually do it. I was doing some renovations in my house over the holidays and moved my main computer from one floor to my new home office on another floor and when I turned it back on I got a flurry of blue screens of death. (Apple users, commence snickering.) For 2009, resolve to back up your computer files, and do it : Tech : Ventura County Star. Do you back up your files/computer?

During inactivity my computer goes to sleep, actually it goes into a coma and can? it be awoken until I turn it off. And not by just turning it off at the switch, I have to unplug it and then restart it. At that point I get this message: The last attempt to resume the system from its previous location failed. Attempt to resume again? And then I have two choices; continue with system restore, or delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu. The second choice is the only one that works. Why is my computer going into a coma, and how can I fix it?

I have my Vista laptop (HP) hooked up to an external monitor, I have been using the sleep mode at night. The laptop is closed and on a shelf that is very hard to get to. I would like to shut it off at night. I can shut it off with the keyboard. Is there any way possibly software controlled to turn it back on? To reach the power button on the laptop you must first raise the lid which there is not room to do

At idle, I have 50% cpu usage at times. It seems to be msiexec.exe. I have absolutely no idea why. Is this a normal Vista behaviour? Second, at startup I have 67 processes running, then it jumps to 72, then back down to 67. I had this amount on my XP pro machine, but had probably over 60 different programs installed, as it was a shared machine with CAD programs, graphic design software, etc. Now I only have vista, adobe cs3, blackberry, and office... And for my final question, Why does eSata not able to "hot-swap"? Is this normal as well (sorry, I've always used firewire for my external drives, but now I'm trying to use eSata)

why my harddisc drive is very active and has allways been that.? It is mainly when I don't use the PC and it should be idle - I guess that the search indexer doesn't use so much capacity.

I installed Vista recently and now, when I've got all updates and I've installed few programs into Windows like Visual Studio, Mobile Device Center, some SDKs etc, every time the system is idle the CPU load is 50%, not exactly, but about 50%.
So I've tried to determine which process makes this CPU load. After Alt Ctrl Delete and Task Manager I haven't got to know anything. I've installed Process Explorer from Sysinternals. He told me process "System" makes this high load. I've tried to "kill" process "System". Yes, load felt down. But this isn't solution because after reboot it's the same.

I have Vista Home premium for 2 years. About a week ago it slowed to apoint where it may take 5 minutes to respond. Task manager Performance shows about 50% CPU usaage but Processes says 98% idle. If I start in safe mode Task Manager is the same but I seem to get a little better response. I use a free version of AVG.This problem seems to show up a lot in Google but each one seems to get resolved a different way. I tried some things others did but it has had no affect. The last time I started there were about 10 SVCHOST
processes. I ended a few but nothing changed.It takes a long time for one to end because the response is so slow.And it gets slower the longer I am up.
Where do I start to get to the bottom of ths?

I am using Vista x64 on my Laptop. The Problem - Vista Automatically logs me off, if i am inactive for 2 minutes (it brings me on logon page - and asks me to enter password) I have checked -
- Control Panel
- Screensaver settings
- Power Settings
- Searched on google
But could not find anything there. Can someone tell me, how can we set auto log off idle time in Vista :o ? Enable or disable this function?

explorer.exe is using 50% CPU when the computer is idle. This started after being in hibernation for about 6 hours. I can log in, but have no use of the task bar. I can click on a program icon on my desktop and the program opens with no problem. When I mouse over the taskbar, either nothing happens or my cursor changes into an hourglass. I cannot use the Windows key on my keyboard either. If I use Task Manager to stop explorer.exe and then restart explorer.exe - the taskbar works normally for a while, but explorer.exe is still using at least 50% CPU time when the computer is idle............

My Acer laptop runs at 125 degrees F Idle, and it runs at about 160 F - 180 F when I play a game or do intense work. I was wondering how I can decrease the heat and keep my laptop cool. I've tried Speed Fan with no luck, and I haven't found any Acer Software to help me out. The computer it hot to the touch, and the temperature monitor is Speed Fan. I've even tried blowing out the dust in the case, and it doesn't fix it. I once opened up the bottom of my laptop, and saw lots of dust and blew it out. Most came out but some was left behind.

From time to time my system (Vista64) shuts down - when IDLE - for no reason. WIndows restarts and says: Windows recovered for an unexpected shutdown... error report send. How to debug? Note that the system is idle; only background processes are running.
What I've done sofar:
- Ran extended memory test: no problem
- Disabled power saving settings (as I suspected a problem going into hibernate/sleep). No effect.
- Disabled all "user based processes" as Picasa, Google indexing, CPU-temp watcher etc..
- Removed all USB sticks (no readyboost anymore)
I leave the system idle and 10minutes to 2hours later; bang; shutdown Note also that the system never chrashed when I'm actually working. So, not a severe issue but I feel intellectually challenged to get the thing under control.

This laptop is fairly new and both when I'm using it, and when it's idle at night, it will just restart for no reason. It's happening more and more, and no error code comes up.

I have noticed that my hard drive is busy doing something even while the computer is idle. I can't figure out what it is. I have turned off indexing, Windows Defender, and my system doesn't come with shadowing. (Windows Home Premium). I don't have any visible background programs running, (no antivirus programs, etc). The system restore is scheduled to happen daily, not all day long every day. Screen savers are turned off. Powering down is turned off. The computer is not connected to the internet. So what the heck is the computer doing when it's left idle? Why is it still grinding away computing something?

My new system was running at idle temps of 46c and under load (2 games and ventrillo running) it was sitting at around 61c @3.1Ghz. Now tempted to go a bit further to see how it will perform. I wanted to get the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreeme but found it difficult to locate from local supplies but with more reading i found that a lot of people also had good reviews with the Zalman 9700 LED HSF setup so i was able to get that and man what a difference it made. I now run my system @3.5Ghz easy with idle temps at 38c and under load at 50c thats a damn vantastic difference it has made. extra rep points from me but i am not sure how to do that
