USB Selective Suspend Not Working?
Oct 27, 2011well the USB selective suspend option I have set to "never" and it dont care, it turns off the drive all the time
I can sit there and the drive will spin up and then turn off every 30-45 min, it spins up and then spins down pretty fast as if it was just work up by me and then it is going back to sleep - I cant figure out what on my computer is waking it up but I dont care I dont want it to even go to sleep in the first place
I dont want the USB drives to ever, ever, EVER! spin down no matter what I dont care about power useage or drive life, I cant effing stand this, when I boot into Linux no problems at all the drive will stay running for hours at a time but stupid effing Windows dont work
USB Selective Suspend Won't Stay Disabled
Aug 31, 2012I just upgraded my HTPC and so built my first Windows 7 PC (never had a need to upgrade from XP, believe it or not). So far I am quite impressed but I am having a number of issues with power management. I'd love some help tying all these together so I'll start at the beginning.I've had the machine running for two weeks now. It's an Intel DH77DF mobo, all the newest drivers on it, fresh from Intel's site. At first I noticed the keyboard would become unresponsive after a while -- not even the lights for caps/num lock would turn on (MS Wired Keyboard 600). So I figured it was shutting off the USB ports and so I went into Device Manager and hit the properties for all USB ports and unchecked allowing Windows to shut them off to save power. I then went to power management and turned it on to maximum performance.
Next morning, I wake up and go to hit the PC to put on some music and the keyboard is unresponsive again. (Aside: I have two keyboards connected, the MS one mentioned earlier and a Logitech diNovo Mini for HTPC stuff. There's also an old MS wired mouse attached (which has never lost power, oddly enough).) I restart to bring the keyboard back around -- because unplugging it and putting it in any USB port won't bring it back -- and when I restart, it takes FOREVER. I'm talking 15-20 minutes (when boot after POST takes like 30 seconds). The restart eventually craps out to a BSOD: power driver state failure, error code 0x9F.So I researched that error and most of the advice seems to come to "run sfc scannow" (done, more than once, no issues) and "update your drivers" (already done). I looked in the event viewer for evidence of that crash but don't think I found anything.
I found a page on a registry entry you can make for disabling selective suspend in USB completely, and I've done that, and it says it's disabled under the advanced settings in power management, but, I dunno...my peripherals still die. I noticed something during this morning's restart. I had my work laptop on and it's a Mac, and Finder always shows the devices on the network. During the long shutdown that goes to bluescreen, the HTPC is not on the network before restart, comes on to to the network five minutes or so into the long shutdown, hangs out on the network for a few minutes, disappears, and then BSOD about a minute after that. It's not just USB shutting down, I guess (if I had a SATA device I'd test that too).
How To Disable The Toshiba Cam Setting Sidebar
Nov 27, 2011I hope I can get my question right!! I have a Tohiba satalite L>T I don't like the annoying sidebar for the Toshiba cam settings. It pops out if you point the mouse to the left of the screen where it is located. I just got my pc back from repair, so i'm starting over. The amazing part is I disabled it the first time when I got my laptop, but I can't remember how I did it. I have been going crazy trying to find answers. Usually I save any research tracks in finding answers, but couldn't find where I wrote it down the first time.

Sep 4, 2012I got a new laptop recently (Windows 7 Home Premius SP1), and but there were several dozen updates that wouldn't install. After looking around online a bit, I eventually decided to go to msconfig and change the startup to only boot with windows programs, which solved that particular problem.Now however I can't change it back to normal startup.If I change it back and click apply, then when I go back in the setting is as before. If I just click "okay" and restart with new settings, then it does a selective startup anyway and reverts the settings.

Apr 15, 2009Just a question out of curiosity, I'm wondering how you guys normally suspend your computer. As in hibernation, shutdown, sleep, or yank the powercable and remove the battery hehe.
Personally, ever since 7, I pretty much always simply leave my computer in sleep mode. Wakeups are so quick, and the memory management is so good that I rarely feel the need to actually shut down my computer.
System Configuration Set To Selective Startup?

Feb 28, 2011what Hardware to upgrade my system with. But I got a unrepairable error and had to re-install Windows.Basically, I re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 and then loaded a System Backup Image that wouldn't load in System Restore and I was back to square one, with a nice new registry, that was totally EMPTY. I have ALL my files from the last install, in addition to the Windows.old folder.But what do I do with them? How do I get all the right bits in the right places without totally researching every pre-installed app?Or better yet, is there any software that can help me do this? I'm a graphic artist, so all my 2d/3d design & web developer apps need to have their special configs replaced, or I have a year of configuring down the drain (3DS Max is totally different that stock, for example). Also, theres my "Fallout: New Vegas" and other game saves and my special Web Development Browser plug-ins. Oh, I forgot about all my FTP site logins and passwords.Fortunately, I had installed KeePass the day before the crash (when I made the Backup Image too!), so my other Logins/PWs are intact. I recommend all you guys with lots of passwords to manage get this great app. Just don't match the PW file to your current install's User account. I'd be screwed if I had done so.
I guess most the stuff can just be replaced with new versions and I can tinker with them to get it all as it was.I just couldn't find any threads about this particular subject, beyond the basic "How to Load a System Image Restore Image", etc.I was just wondering if there were any options other than dealing with each software install individually.

I have replaced my father's wired modem (he's with PostOffice.com in the UK) with a Belkin Surf+ (F7D2301uk) router running firmware version 1.00.16. When he tries to access the network from his Tosh C660 Win 7 Home Premium, 64bit laptop the network connection between the laptop & router disconnects after a minute or so. The only way to reestablish a connection is to Disconnect and Connect again in the Wireless Network section of Networking panel. But here's the weird bit.

BSOD Resuming From Suspend/Sleep?
May 16, 2012I just built a new computer and had it running stable for several days with all hardware except the graphics card and a new monitor. After plugging the new video card, I believe the system remained stable, but am not 100% confident since it only survived overnight. After plugging the new monitor (HP z2740w) and connecting via USB crashes started occurring when resuming from sleep.
I tried uninstalling the graphics drivers and the problem seems to have stopped for now, so I'm reinstalling to see if anything changes.

Apr 23, 2012I have a desktop pc and a notebook, and both makes part of my homegroup, however, desktop is the default pc on my network, that would be a "server", and it is configured to enter in suspend mode after 30 minutes, the default configuration of Windows 7. This is my problem: when my desktop enter in suspend mode, I'm not able to access my files and libraries from my notebook.Is it possible to keep a network always enabled even in suspend mode or Windows never can enter in suspend mode if I want to be able to access my network and homegroup? I will prefer to have an option to keep network enabled and accessible but with Windows in suspend mode to save energy, but if that is not possible, ok too.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSelective Sharing On Network - Read Access To Specific Folders
Sep 4, 2011I have main PC [office_PC]. On that PC is basically everything. music, pics, videos etc. It is the primary computer but I also have a laptop and a tablet that access that data too. I need/want full access to everything on the office-PC read/write. no problem easily done and I have had no issues currently until today. (64 bit win 7 system)
My daughter saved up and purchased a netbook [Morgan-Netbook] (OS:win 7 starter). I got her on the network and when connected it asked about homegroup so I said yes and now I see her and she sees me. BUT she has full read/write access to everything on the PC. I can access everything I would expect via the homegroup but then under the "network" icon I can see all my shared folders and she has way more access.
I would like her to have read access to pics, videos and specific folders but not necessarily everything else. I have tried adding her as a user in the sharing permissions but my Office PC only wants to see Location as "office-PC" so I cannot choose her from a list to restrict her access specifically. If I limit the access globally then I lose it for me as well. How do I limit access to just her so that she can see the folders we want but she only has READ access?

Is There A Setting On Windows 7 That Would Allow To Use MP3 Player
Apr 9, 2011I'm a new Windows 7 user. I have a Coby 1GB mp3 player that I've been using as a thumb drive for years since the buttons on it broke off. I've put all kinds of files on it from documents to picture files. Yesterday I brought home my new netbook running Windows 7 Starter.. I took the mp3 player and plugged it in the USB port. Windows 7 recognized it with no problem.. but to my surprise, it doesn't show the files on it. So I tried to put files on it.. and it doesn't seem to allow anything but music files (MP3's) to be put on it. It's very odd because my Windows XP desktop computer allowed me to use it as a basic thumb drive and it accepted all types of files to be put on it.. not just MP3s.Is there a setting on Windows 7 that would allow me to use the MP3 player like a regular USB flash drive as I did on my XP system?
