I've a question about Brightness in laptops When I use Cord to Power my Laptop I usually get higher contrast, brighter back lightning then just using battery.
I get as much brightness with Battery usage as with a Cord ?
I am currently running Windows 7 RC1 and have noticed a behavioral change from XP which I would love to change.
In the NVIDIA control panel, there are 2 sets of settings for brightness:
1) Desktop color settings
2) Video color settings
In Windows XP, these would be completely independent. Thus for example, I could have my desktop dark while the videos could be bright and vivid.
Thus in XP:
Desktop Brightness = Desktop color settings
Video Brightness = Video color settings
In Windows 7, the OS only behaves this way when using Aero Basic. If I'm using the full Aero interface, I get the following behavior:
Desktop Brightness = Desktop color settings
Video Brightness = Desktop color settings + Video color settings
I would really love to have these control act independently on the full Aero interface. Is this possible? NVIDIA settings can obviously still distinguish the video because the video color settings still only apply to video, so I'm not sure why it behaves this way.
In Vista, I was able to sort files by date created, highlight the files I want, then sort again by name, and all the files I selected previously would still be highlighted, but now they're in numerical order. Win 7 won't let me apply that second level of sorting. It's either name or date, but not both.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an HP Laptop model 6735b with an AMD Turion DualCore ZM-84 Mobile processor and 2GB of RAM. I purchased it in January 2009 and installed windows XP on it, which I had no problems with. I recently installed Windows 7 on it, and it will not power down or go into hibernate mode without being on external power. When I tell it to hibernate or shut down it will power the screen down, but thats as far as it will go without being plugged in. All of the lights stay on (volume control buttons, wifi indicator, etc.), the hard drive continues to run, and it will stay like this until I plug it in, at which point it will finish its power-down or hibernation.

It has an external power brick that takes 100-240V.My question is about the cord that goes from the power brick to the wall outlet. The cord has a US plug. Does the cord also take 100-240V and I just need to buy a plug adapter, or does the cord only take US voltage and I need to buy a new cord?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had this issue for a while with my Dell Studio XPS 1645 laptop. It is a guess, but i'd say 5/10 times the power cord comes out of the laptop (for whatever reason - moving it etc) then the laptop will simply black screen and instantly restart and boot up again without an error message or any information as to why. This doesn't make any sense to me because every time I do have the battery pack inserted into the laptop and over 30% battery life (this is when ill plug the charger in).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop with Win 7 HP 32bit SP1, which doesnt boot at all, if the power cord (AC Adapter/Battery charger) is plugged in. Further if power cord is plugged in after booting, the system hangs / shuts down. It runs fine on safe mode. I believe it is a driver updation problem but not sure. I have updated all drivers given in Toshiba download site.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I remove the power cord of a cpu while working, it often makes windows 7 crashes hard. When that happens, Windows 7 by default makes a system restore. Since we don't want that, we removed this option. Since the system restore has been desactivated, Windows 7 reboot over and over again. I have to reinstall. Sometimes, even the safe mode is not working. This scenario does not happen every time because sometimes Windows 7 succeeds in "getting back" online.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIts strange but my battery goes from 16% to 23% (Or etc% To etc%) in one minute, once when I get down to about 10% I have to hurry and find my charger because that is no longer accurate.. Does this mean my battery wearing out? The battery and the computer is one year old.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm at the end of my rope with my volume issue. I'm running Win 7 64 Pro with a Creative X-FI Gamer card (latest drivers).
The issue: Master volume keeps resetting to 30%. Noticed it happens when I bring my PC out of standby, and when I run certain apps like Creative's sound panel. I've tried the "Do Nothing" option on the Comms tab, and also tried unchecking the Exclusive Mode options which give apps direct control over the sound card. Nothing works.
Is there a way to set the master volume in the registry and/or create a task which runs periodically to adjust the volume to where I want it?
Is there any conflicts or protection with/for Low Level Code Injection into processes? Also, turning off DEP is the same as it was on vista correct?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince 4 days i got a problem with my windows crashing. I get bluescreen which says IRQL_not less or euqal. It also says something about saving dumped memory in the blue screen, thats all i could figure out of it.It just startet after I set up windows 4 days ago because of some errors and a stupid trojan which was on my pc. Formated and deleted partitions, set up new, installed all drivers, programms etc. At first everthing was fine all was working perfectly. Then suddenly 1 day later this error apeared. Well it actually seemed to have apeared after i tried to install atitools which wouldnt work. I deinstalled it, no change. Then i set up windows 7 new, i formated and deleted the old partitions. Still no change, as soon as i run either firefox or a 3D game the bluescreen sometimes apears. Set it up new again, installed all drivers everything etc. still no change.Since i read that IRQL bluescreen is often related to drivers i installed all new that could be related. Direct x, graphics, mainboard, checked windows updates to really have the NEWEST... still i get this bluescreen.
To my system:
Windows 7 home premium 64x
Geforce 8600 GT
6GB ddr2
mainboard is: Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H(uses Realtek drivers)
I would like to be able to backup all of the documents I have at the root of "My Documents" but not the subfolders. Is there a way to do that?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy neighbor's laptop hdd seemed not to be working right, he had left the laptop in the closet for 2 years anyway, so it seemed not a loss to run a utility that might bring the hdd back [might not], so I started the low level hdd pre-format from a disc I had been given.
That was about a month ago, and the 250 gb hdd is still not done. Should it really take this long, or is the hdd totalled?
I installed Hamachi Free VPN. I have shared (full control) my entire external drive for convenience for everyone on my LAN. However, there are some folders that need to be excluded from this share over the VPN due to sensitive information in those folders (other users on my LAN backup data to those folders).
Is there a way to restrict ALL users over the VPN from accessing those folders (without adding a rule for every user)?
I used to be able to see the ink levels of my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer everytime I went to print something. Since I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 I cannot find out how to see this information anymore.
At this moment the "low ink" red light is flashing and I have no idea which ink cartridge(s) I need to replace.
I found some scripts that can move the sub-folders or files to a specific location but that's not what I'm after. Here's my situation:Folder 1Subfolder Afiles.xxxFolder 2Subfolder Bfiles.yyyFolder 3filez.zzzetc etcI'd like to move files.xxx to Folder 1, files.yyy to Folder 2, and leave all files.zzz alone. There's no consistent naming pattern in the subfolder names or contents and the file formats vary. Is it possible to script this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSince installing Windows 7 on my Acer Aspire 6920 Laptop I've been getting regualr BSOD's. As far as I remember they only happen whilst web browsing (I use Chrome).My laptop was previously running Vista.I get the error - IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and a load of tech stuff.
Here's my laptop specs:
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional , 64 bit

This is on a Vista upgraded to a Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E6550 2,33 Ghz and 2 GB RAM.The problems started slowly but now it's getting very bad, such as I'm forced to use "save mode" to write this.The PC is protected by Kaspersky. As read in other threads I did the TDSSkiller as well as the Malwarebytes - nothing found.Hereafter a "bluescreenview" which, I hope, will help to identify the problem. I understand there's something wrong with ataport.sys but I don't know what to do next. [code]
View 14 Replies View RelatedSo I have a little problem... When I used xp, I had outlook express. When I used vista, I had updated version of it, "windows mail".
Now I can't have windows mail or any updated version of it to Windows 7? I've heard that MS stopped supporting windows mail / outlook after they released their windows live mail thing.
But the problem is that now I have about 4000 e-mails on my vista's hard drive in .eml form and I can't export them back to my email hoster's server where windows mail used to import letters..
so, what programs are compatible with .eml in windows 7?
Or is it possible to have same old outlook express or windows mail back to windows 7 or do I have to stick with vista forever?
I've been getting this bluescreen error sometimes when watching videos and I can also get it every time I try to install a specific game (it plays music in the background when installing) when clicking the next button after inputting the serial. I think this has something to do with the drivers but am not sure which one. I have updated all of the drivers I can from the Asus page a few months ago. I have checked for newer ones but I can't find any on the manufacturer's page.Laptop Model: Asus N53JQ-XR1 The OS is Win 7x64 OEM.The system is about 2 years old.The OS has not been reinstalled.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 has been very stable most of the time, but today I have had 2 crashes saying DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL and then just rebooted.
Does this mean I need to reinstall W7, or should I just chalk it up as a beta error?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy laptop dies if I am on the battery and the battery percent gets between 25-40% then it will just completely shut off. It never used to do this for the first 8 months i've owned it. Now it does it every time I'm on the battery. Also, right before this started happening I was getting GREAT battery life out of my battery, so I don't personally think the battery has gone bad, however you may feel different!
