View 2 RepliesI recently reinstalled windows 7 on my laptop, fujitsu siemens and since then, it no longer goes to sleep (either when I close the lid or when I choose sleep from the start menu). This is very annoying it means i have to shut down the maching everytime i am not using it. The problem is that when i close the lid, the machine pretends to go to sleep for about 10 seconds and then restarts. When I reopen the lid, the machine no longer displays. I have to hold down the power button to force a shutdown and then restart.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed a problem called EnhanceMySe7en and tried a few tweaks however things didn't really turn out as I had planned.
I made a system restore point before I made the changes, but then when I tried to restore it back, it says there were no points available ... Thats wierd coz I've made 3 restore points over the last 3 days as I've been changing stuff.
Anyways I would love it if anyone knows a possible fix for the problems I've encounterd.
1) The "my computer" link has dissapeared from the start menu (no option to re-add in the startmenu properties)
2) When I open "my computer" shorcut from rocketdock I get no drives showing up
3) Option to add my computer icon to desktop greyed out
4) "My computer" is no longer in the left pane of explorer (libraries and network etc are still there). It means I can't browse to my files. I can only if it lets me type in an address like C:windows etc... but in some browse dialogs I'm locked out completely
5) Another unrelated issue in my shutdown menu. I have logoff, sleep, hibernate, restart options in my shutdown menu, but no shutdown
I suspect with the My Computer issue that its deleted some registry keys pointing to it... please let me know if you have any ideas how to fix it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had the problem for a few days that my mouse no longer woke up my computer. I looked in BIOS settings, and mouse settings, all was as it should be. But then I looked into what updates I had installed, and on the same day I updated "Intel(R) Network Connections" was when the mouse problem started. So I just uninstalled that, and now the mouse wakes up computer.

I have downloaded the drivers (it connects to PC via a usb 2.0 port) updated my mother board and chipset drivers However after different periods of time the controller freezes and I get a message saying ' usb device not recognised' also when I open device manager the drivers are no longer visible. If I restart the controller it works fine for a while (can be anything from a few minutes to a couple of hours).

I have a Western Digital 1TB Hard Drive (External).I use it 99.9% of the time on my Windows 7 64bit computer to store pictures/videos and backup important files.It was working fine until I plugged it into a MACINTRASH to backup files from that computer.It was a simple copy and paste from the MACINTRASH to the External HDD.After copying the files from the MACINTRASH, I plugged it back into my PC.My PC no longer recognizes my external HDD. I unplugged the power, plugged it back in.Same with the USB cable. Rebooted. Then my computer wouldn't reboot and windows did its automatic self repair. Nothing.I unplugged EVERYTHING and left it that way for about 30 minutes. I plugged EVERYTHING back to my computer and turned it on.
Windows booted up fine. I plugged in the external HDD and windows had that little icon telling me it was installing drivers. I was excited to think that it finally would recognize my external HDD.Of course, it didn't work. The HDD does not show up in my computer. It does show up in Device Manager and Disk ManagementDevice MangerUnder Disk Drives it lists it only as "WD" My other drives it has a nice long name like "WD 7500AAK External USB Device" Under properties it tells me Volume information for the disk cannot be found. (The very first time I did that prior to the reboot it said there was 0MB of space on it). It claims the device is working properly Disk ManagementAt first this said that I must initialize my disk. Now it doesn't even show up anymore. I have no idea what to do anymore.
I had a stock machine running windows 7. I built a computer for myself and I hardly use cds so when I needed to install windows 7 on the new computer I simply removed my cd drive from my old computer and put it in the new one. I assumed that since the os is installed to the hd that the computer would still run but it does not . I already installed windows 7 on the new computer but when I went to boot my old pc up it says no operating system. Do I just need to buy a new cd drive? Or do I need to buy another copy of windows?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Sony Vaio Laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Model VPCEC1M1E. The problems that I am having are: The ATI Display driver stops responding and the screen goes blank, Also the optical drive is no longer showing within windows, and it will no longer open. I have tried lots of different ATI display drivers for the laptop however none of these have worked I have also tried clean installs but this did not make any difference. I have had a look through Event viewer and one error that seems to be a cause for concern is:Event ID 13: The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period. This may indicate that there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware or that the BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS.In some situations, this error may cause the computer to function incorrectly.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, I used windows update to install all the updates available, and then after restarting I install the AMD graphics drivers. Upon rebooting, the system just hangs on the Windows Loading Logo.
What I have done so far:
I have tried the 11.10 and 11.11 drivers, same effect.I tried just using the driver only and the full catalyst package, both produce the same results.I have tried installing the drivers supplied by windows, but this process fails with an error code that suggests that I already have drivers in place. I have used driver sweeper in safe made to get rid of any video drivers before trying to reinstall, but the effect is the same. After every driver install, I must reboot into safe mood and restore to a previous point to be able to boot back into the full version of windows.
Previous History:This system was working fine with the 11.10 Catalyst package before reinstalling windows.
Relevant System Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 w/ SP 1
Processor: Intel Core i7 920

Basically, my problem is that randomly next to EVERYTHING will stop responding for about five minutes, except the lower profile applications such as teamspeak and mIRC, and its been happening since july. Then, it will work again for a bit and then it will happen again. I got windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
When it first started, it would freeze so bad that it would BSOD, but that has not happened recently, however sometimes even TS and mIRC won't respond, and you can't open any new programs up while its in this cycle plus 99% of the time explorer.exe stops responding as well. We think the problem started happening when we did the windows updates, we didn't do all of them but we did the majority of them at that time, but it may of just been a coincidence. It will happen basically no matter what i got open, if its just Fire Fox or if i got FireFox, WoW, Diablo 2, TS, mIRC all open.
I just recently upgraded to service pack 1, and the problem still occurs. I've ran CCleaner, malwarebyes, anti virus, and all came up with little to no malicious activity
Today at college I tried to continue my work by plugging in my USB hard drive and it simply wouldn't appear in "My Computer".When I tried later on that day it would appear as a "Removable Disk" but I was unable to double click it.The technicians at my college said that I need to format it, but when I tried to create a backup last week it was unsuccessful so it would mean losing all of my college work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWell I just finished building my first computer and was happy ( and a little surprised) that everything seems to be working fine. Even without installing any drivers that came with my components.
The Asus P6T motherboard comes with a disk for chipset drivers and my GTX video card also has a installation disk. Not to mention a new logitech mouse and new keyboard.
All these things seem to be working fine at the moment and device manager shows no problems with anything installed. Is Seven so packed full of drivers that I don't need to bother with these disks or should I run them anyway or just leave things alone?
I just reinstalled (clean) windows 7, and I was wondering how to get all of my drivers on to my computer now.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have a Windows 7 64 bit computer, almost brand new. I also have a Dell AIO 926 photo printer that i wish to connect to it. When i connect it, the computer recognizes it as normal, but says i need to download the drivers. I click troubleshoot, follow its instructions, download the correct driver(made sure when i looked manually on the dell website), for 64 bit windows 7. Only thing is, i still cant get the printer to work! it still says "troubleshoot" and wont let me print anything. and every time i "troubleshoot" it says i need drivers for it, which it did before, and just takes me in a continuous loop, getting nowhere. I then downloaded it from dell website manually( i made sure it was for 64 bit, not 32) and still no luck. i can stare at the drivers all day but i cant get my computer to use them on my printer. it just detects theyre not there. the drivers are installed to the main hard drive C:, under dell/drivers/R150575. is it installed in the wrong place? i couldnt find a different place to install it in the drop downs, and it seemed like a good place to install it. i have also restarted the computer to make sure, and disconnected & reconnected the USB; still no luck for both, still that dreaded exclamation mark next to the printer under "hardware and devices".

Just speed in starting up and checking email (I heard windows live/thunderbird mail are slow and a significant drain on resources)I really don't like the idea that I'm upgrading to a MUCH faster PC only to end up with a slower email experience.

I have windows 7 installed on a PC I built a little over a year ago. I recently upgraded to the windows 8 consumer preview, but I didn't like it so I'm trying to switch back. When I install windows it works fine, I can turn my computer off and on as many times as I want and it will be fine, but if I install any video card drivers or any of the updates that windows tells me to install, the next time it boots up I either get the windows splash screen or a black screen right after it says, "starting windows", and shows the 4 orb things that spin around and turn into the windows logo. It stays on this screen for 5-10 seconds and then continues to black or the splash screen. I have tried installing only my video card driver, I have tried installing only one of the recommended updates, but no matter what I install it doesn't work the next time it boots, so I don't think it's a problem with one specific driver. However I have selected only the ones that started with: important windows update, or something like that, none of the security updates or anything and those installed successfully. I have reset my bios and changed every setting I can think of, but nothing works. I have also completely formatted and re-patitioned my hard drive. I have basically reset my computer as much as possible without building a new one. What else can I do? I need to install my video card driver at the very least or I can't play games, which is the whole reason I built a PC
