After closing the on screen display for Core Temp, I can't reopen it. The program's System Tray icon remains in the tray, but when using it to select "show", it opens a rather drab Windows like display, instead of it's usual one. Rebooting doesn't solve it, and going through the ini, I see nothing that appears to be for the purpose. How do I return it to it's previous behavior?

View 5 Replies View RelatedRecently when I have closed over the screen on my laptop (HP Pavillion g6) when I have lifted the screen up again i've had blue screen pop up, I didn't manage to get all of what it said down in time but it was something like, STOP:0x0000016 The 'windows has recovered from unexpected shutdown' pop box gave me these details:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name:BlueScreen
OS Version:6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID:2057
[code]....
I left my laptop on and had to leave so I simply shut the lid down. About 2 hours later, I lifted the lid and got only a black screen. I moved the mouse around to get it to come on but it would not. After about 5 tries on holding down the button in which to start up my laptop or turn off in this case, it finally turned off then I was able to turn it on and all was fine. I held it down for about 15 seconds. So, question is why wouldn't my laptop become active again when I opened the lid, etc?
Here are some of my specs.
Model Number: Toshiba Satellite S875-S7240
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor Brand: Intel
Processor Type: Intel Core i5-2450M Processor
Processor Speed: 2.50 GHz, 3 MB L3 Cache
System Ram: 6 GB
Hard Drive Size: 750 GB
Max. Memory Expansion: 16 GB
The only problem I have is that when I open or close certain programs I get an unavoidable 'black screen'. IE: When I get done watching some Death Note in Windows Media Center (full screen) and I decide to close it, occasionally it will close and just go blank. My monitor doesn't detect that it's been turned off, or that there's a problem.
So I'll do what a lot of people do, and ALT-CTRL-DEL once or twice to try and bring up that screen. No luck. The only time I can retrieve everything and save my data before shutting off my computer is if I have an unfinished word document and when I press my power button the screen comes back on and viola! I see windows again! It then asks me if I want to save my work, click cancel, I can resume my Windows 7 enjoyment.
Well, because I press the power button and Windows wants to shut down, it closes out of some services and other programs, so I'm limited (barely, but limited) to what I can do.
It is not only WMC that causes this. I play Combat Arms in full screen, and occasionally when the program opens (into it's full-screenness) it will black screen (and I can still hear the music, so the computer isn't crashing) or when I exit the game. For a bit I thought it was just when I play stuff in full-screen and my video card gives out.
So I open Game Maker, and I attempt to make a game every now and then. I save my work, throw my project into a test play, and everything works out. It begins in windowed, and so I don't screw anything up, I leave it that way. Well, I came here because that was the last thing I did. Close out of a windowed game that probably took barely, if any, video ram (I know it takes some, but old computers' on-board VGA adapters would have no problem running the program I made.) and I get 'black screen' after closing that.
Out of being piss off'd (yes. piss off'd.) I go to the ATI website and download the latest 7/Vista drivers for my Radeon X800 video card. Got the drivers, nothing special happened. Still get an occasional black screen. Got one of the forms of the Catalyst driver thing (I don't know what they are, so I just install them) and still nothing. I know that there is a sticky in this forum for the drivers, and I already have the drivers linked here.
So I tried the 32 bit link (getting catalyst stuff,) and I'm presented with the first download link being for 64-bit computers only. Why is it in the 32-bit page? I even look at the URL, and somewhere up there is says .../vista-32/sumin'... or something along those lines. So what the heck? Downloaded it. Now in its installation 7 keeps telling me "This program has stopped working," "This program has stopped working" all throughout the installation process.
sometimes when i try close the PC my screen gets error and it doesn't shut down, and when i start or close some games it gets me the BSOD error saying that there is a problem with cdd.dll Adress 972CB768 base at 872C0000 date stamp 4a5bd922
View 1 Replies View Relatedover past week i've just recently installed win 7 x64 ultimate.everything runs fine and smooth except for watching full screen videos, while watching video in full screen after approx 4/5 mins of viewing the screen will auto close or go back to compact view which is extremely irratating, this happens withany type of media player for example , vlc player , wmp 11 , internet explorer 9 Internet videos or any in browser players, so basically anything that plays videos full screen will be reduced back to compact view or boxed screen after 4/5 of it being in full screen mode.1. disabled aero & windows 7 default main theme and using windows classic theme.2. checked to make sure graphics card has latest update from nvidia.3. went through avast anti virus for any apparent interference.4. re-installed graphics driver incase original install was bugged/glitched.5. checked all media programs & players where up to date & compatible with x64.6. searched via google for my issue with which no one has yet found solution.
7. direct x is of latest direct x 11.computer details & things to take into consideration:- nvidia gtx 260 graphics card & latest updated driver.- latest avast anti virus.- 4gb ram ddr3- i7 920 @ 2.65 ghz cpu.- with system being just recently installed there isn't much if any programs installed to interfere with system operation.final note;i had exact same antivirus and graphics card on vista ultimate x32 both with same latest updates and there was no problem running videos in full screen previously beforre upgradi to win 7 x64

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two computers that have win 7 x64 pro/ult. Recently, both computers, after typing in my poassword for login to windows, I get the desktop, icons, the hardware meter gadgets, then a windows pops up, near the top left corner, about a 1/6 of the screen size, and it immediately closes. It isn't there long enough for me to read anything in it, or even see if there is anything in it. Under start-up folder in the start menu, both computers do have logitech registration.
I click it, fill it out, and re start the computer. Still happens, and the start up folder still has logitech's product registration there. I complete it, restart the computer, and the window still shows up, then closes. Damn near instantly. Under start-up, the logitech thing is gone, so it is blank. But it still happens. Installing the webcam and using it for Logitech Vid, is the only thing I have changed recently on both computers. Also, windows 7 did have an update. I have no idea what to look for in regedit.
If I let the computer sit unused, the screen goes black, as most monitors would; however, the screen stays dark when I move the mouse or hit buttons or something. Similarly, if I close the lid of my laptop when its turned on, and then open the lid, the screen stays black. Not only that, but when I closed the lid of the laptop, the computer never turned off. It was still running.I reset the power options to default as well, so there is nothing wrong there. Perhaps I should also mention that the screen successfully turns off and on in safe mode?
edit: Just tried a system restore to two weeks ago and the system crashed. Both times.
I have this problem with Asus p5q3 motherboard my system temp goes up to 60-70(celsius) and cpu (intel core 2 quad q9550) temp is low as 30-40(celsius). So how can system temp be that high?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having is that I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate (from XP Ultimate) and the computer was working really slowly.
First I opened task manager and found only one CPU was being monitored, there was only one window for one CPU, not two windows with only one firing!
This I found strange, checked the WEI and my processor got a 2.3 rating (its a Core 2 Duo @ 1,83Mhz, a T5600), I then downloaded a tone of widgets to check if they could "see" the other core, nothing. I went into msconfig, the no. of processors box is unchecked, if I check it, the drop down menu only gives me the option of picking 1 CPU.
using Vista, but I can't seem to be able to use his fix: [URL] (bottom of page, can't find the HAL detection checkbox)
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate on an HP nx9420 laptop with 3GB of RAM, a new HDD (250GB), the old one just stopped working really, and the Core 2 Duo T5600 @ 1,83Mhz that is running only one core.
QX9650, quad core, task manager, cpu-z, cpu-id, shows showing only 2 two cores.I recently upgraded an Intel E8500 to a QX9650 and had the problem of Windows 7 only showing 2 of the 4 cores.It took a few frustrating hours to find the solution, but I got there in the end without the need for a Windows re-install.
1st: You must have Windows 7 Professional. Home Premium does not support more than 2 cores. Upgrade to Pro.
2nd: If Task manager and CPU-Z are only showing 2 cores, you'll be feeling pretty confused, right?
Go to Start-->Run, type MSCONFIG.Under the BOOT tab, click 'Advanced Options'.In the top left corner it says "Number of Processors" (you'll have been here already and it says '2').Uncheck this and do a reboot.This solved my hours of confusion. Now I have 4 cores in Task Manager, CPU-Z and all is well.If all this fails, then get yourself set up for an OS reinstall; that should get you where you want to be.
I'm having an issue with my CPU. It seems that it is only using one of its cores. This issue first became apparent to me when I was trying to run Blacklight Retribution. It popped up a warning message saying that my computer does not meet the minimum requirements of have at least a dual core. And indeed the game was unplayable, with single digit fps constantly. However when i go to the performance tab of my task manager it shows 4 graphs, meaning that 4 cores must be running. Then I go the boot tab of my systems configuration, click on advanced options and underneath the "Number of Processors:" check box (which is unchecked), it shows 1 as the number of processors. My processor is an Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.6GHz.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been working with RW2 files on this PC without problems for 6 months and all was normal last night when I shut down as normal. This morning I switched on to continue my work and the window with RW2 files showed just blank icons. I clicked on one and got the message "unable to open this file type, no supporting program" or similar, usually it opens a preview window at the side and will open in Windows photo viewer with a double click, but now nothing. JPG files still display and work fine and all the RW2 files open normally in lightroom 3.6 when I open that. I rebooted but the problem persists. I then looked at system restore and there were no restore points for this month and it gave a list of 5 programs it would erase, which I had updated/installed a few days earlier so I decided to look for another way first (I have very bad internet so do not want to have to download those again). Everything has worked fine with those updates for several days so I suspect it has nothing to do with them.

Ever since i upgraded windows has only seen one core even though its a dual core system. The processor is a AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+ 2.20Ghz.
I have checked the BIOS and cant find any related settings and when i go to msconfig in the boot menu (advance) Number of processors is unchecked by default and if i check it the drop down only shows one core. The device manager is not showing any driver issues.
Is the dual CORE 2.8ghz good also for the windows 7 system?

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo my laptop was working fine last night, woke up this morning and this issue appeared. I'm guessing it's a virus (stupidly, I haven't installed an AVP on this machine yet). Anyways, I can't open anything. Doesn't matter where I try to open the program or file from. The load icon appears but nothing happens. I also can't access the task manager or shut down/log off/etc. from the start menu, I get a "Failure to display security and shut down options" error msg. I'm in safe mode with networking right now, which is allowing me to open programs. I've already tried a system restore but it didn't solve the problem.
View 1 Replies View Relatedmy computer is old and has small hard drive space, and someone recommended I delete my %temp%, my temp, and my prefetch folder, but I was just wondering, since I had to do a whole lot of searching ,and downloading of drivers, (just to make my computer compatible with windows 7), where all my downloaded drivers are? And if deleting any of these folders will screw up my drivers, and give me problems, and I would have to find the drivers again.
(Also I don't really know what the drivers are called, so I can't really search for them) Because I really wanna delete these folders to make my computer faster, because on XP, where my drivers always worked and I never needed to update them, I deleted those folders all the time, and it made it faster because those folders had a crapload of stuff in them, but I don't want my computer to not be compatible with the games/videos/music/etc. I use it for.
