OS installed on SDD ..(Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit) I have a seperate 1TB HDD installed - partioned into 2 volumes. (D & E) I would like that the OS puts all programs by default onto D:I know some programs give you option to select location but not all ... can I setup that 'progam' folder is on D.
I've changed the setting of maximum processor state on battery from 100% to 50% to save battery. But the setting resets to default 100% time to time. I don't know why this is happening.
I 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).
If the computer is shut down and disconnected from the power supply for about 5 hours or longer I get a bluescreen right after the windows boot screen. Otherwise it starts without problems and works fine. My workaround for the problem after long shut down is to switch on the power supply, then immediately switch it off and then on again. This works always fine!

I already used all of the windows debugging, diagnostic tools and Memtest but without success.
I literally just built this today and was able to enjoy a very fast boot up speed with wim7 64-bit installed on my ssd drive but the power cable of course found a way to get unplugged from the wall and now the it takes an extra 20-30 seconds in order t boot up (at the "windows starting" ) screen. Right after I turned it back on the computer wanted to go into system repair and then it reset the pc to the back up that I had just set,
Is there anything I can do in order to get it too boot up like it was at first?
Yesterday i found out that my rear and centre speakers were producing really low sound. After a restart, Windows lost the ability to set it on 5.1 speaker config. It would just revert back to 2.1. I did a reinstall of the drivers but no luck.

It's still no change from that time, but there is a small thing: host file now has a key icon at left-bottom. (That I'm sure it doesn't appear before).

I am running windows 7, I was able to connect to the internet via WiFi the whole time, now I am unable to do so. I have bought a new Lenovo laptop and I am now having a problem that tells me "invalid IP config" the whole time.
I looked in System Configuration on my W7 Ultimate.....There are 80 systems running. Which ones can I shut off to make my pc run faster with W7 and not mess it up. This is just after I rebooted I didn't have anything open yet. [code]
I want ALL my folders to show content as details.Even if they are pictures.How do I do that?Tried the folder options in the Config Screen (sorry, trying to translate from Dutch) but that won't work, plus I'm in a wrong folder, because that's one of the few I want to see as icons.
amd athlon x2 6000+Broadcom netxtreme 57xx gigabite controller (integrated)Fresh Install today.(no updates or sevice pack on yet)I have had this problem for about 4 months now,It started when i put my daughters xp laptop into the local connection(I use a 3 dongle to connect to Internet always have and never had any trouble,shared connection).I got xp working on my network no trouble,the trouble began when i switched off and went to bed.The next morning I replugged my xbox 360 into the local adapter and got the unidentified connection,to cut a long story short I have tried all fixes I could find on the Internet but nothing worked,so I manually assigned a ip address in the ip4 properties and everything i put on local adapter now works but it still says public unidentified network.
So today I formatted and re-installed windows 7 expecting this problem to be fixed but no,it is exactly the same,I am going bald way to quick as It Is,I have this error in event log every time i restart or disable/enable local connection .event id 1001Your computer was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0x001EC93E0D7B. The following error occurred: 0x79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.Also this one :The Mobile IP Route Manager service failed to start due to the following error: This driver has been blocked from loading The DHCP allocator has disabled itself on IP address 169.254.149.243, since the IP address is outside the 192.168.137.0/255.255.255.0 scope from which addresses are being allocated to DHCP clients. To enable the DHCP allocator on this IP address, change the scope to include the IP address, or change the IP address to fall within the scope.
Computer with new clean install of Windows 7 Home. Yesterday it was connecting to router via LAN (not wireless). Went to sleep last night and had to do hard restart to get it up today. Since then, it is not finding the router via error msg above. I went into Dev. Mgr and told modified Nertwork Adapters to not allow computer to put to sleep. Still same msg. It will connect via wireless but I want to LAN it.
I have an HTPC that I've had for about 4 years now. Today when I booted it up it went into an infinite loop with the 'Startup Repair Utility" where it would just sit there claiming to be repairing the drive but never actually completing or providing a notification of the issues (typical Microsoft troubleshooting). Anyway, I finally was able to get into the advanced settings of the utility and get to a command prompt and see what was going on.
1)The previous RAID 1 configuration was setup as the main C: drive with the OS and also where I had all our music stored. But now during the boot sequence the bios startup it flashes in red complaining about the RAID array having degraded and when I finally got into a command prompt it was no longer mapped to C:, the two drives in the array were mapping independently as drive E: and F: respectively (the DVD-ROM is the D: drive).
2)My first concern was to get my music off it so I plugged in an external USB drive and went into command prompt and tried to xcopy from E:, it started to copy then failed catastrophically with a weird error so that would appear to be the bad drive. I then tried the same thing on drive F: (the mirror) and its cranking along nicely copying all my music over. My fingers are crossed but I suspect I'll be OK, its unlikely to get two drive failures in the same array at the exact same time
Once I get my data off the good drive how should I proceed? I assume I need to get a new duplicate drive installed and then can I not rebuild the RAID array from the good drive? I've never done this before, the machine came built for me so I'm not familiar how it is setup. What I do know is that it has a 'RAID utility' you can jump into at boot up by hitting F10.
I unchecked programs in ms-config following instructions on how to rid a computer of a virus. Had me uncheck all but files using "system". I must've unchecked a necessary file because now it won't boot at all. We don't have the cash to go to a professional around here.
I have a number of windows 7 machines set up in an office and all of them were set up the exact same way. All but two are having issues shutting down when idle. I have my power options set to do nothing but turn off the monitor. Shutting off harddrives, hibernate, and standby are all disabled:
I have 1 Admin account and 1 User account on each computer. The settings are the same for both accounts. Screensaver is set to "none." I have comodo antivirus installed. The only processes initialized at startup are intel common user interface, audio manager, comodo, itunes crap, and java.
I've done a lot of searches using variations of the above title and came up empty or just plain missed the answer.I'd like to know, if it is not asking too much, the following points:
1. What exactly is the function of Link State Power Management in the Power Options Advanced Settings, PCI Express?
2. What are the implications of using the options available:
a) Off.
b) Maximum power savings.
c) Moderate power savings.
d) Which option is the best selection for my Dell laptop.
I use my PC for audio production and I have a few external controller devices that are USB powered, for example a midi keyboard. I recently had to build PC due to a theft....long story short after building the new PC I've noticed that my USB buses have continual power to these external devices after I've powered down the PC. My old windows 7 PC did not do this. Is there a setting I can change to shut off power to the USB buses when I power off the PC? Or is this a hardware issue?
i've tried to set the option for pressing the power button to 'Do Nothing' so no body can shut the computer, and yet it shuts down by pressing the button, so why is that and how can i work this out?
Every time I rebooted my laptop windows runs through preparing to configure windows, then configuring the service pack, starting at 35% and finishing on 37% and then boots windows normally. This is very annoying to go through everytime I reboot. I ran the portable fix it program from microsoft to fix windows update problem but it I booted into safe mode to try uninstall the service pack to reinstall but now when it reboots it says preparing to configure windows, then failure to configure service pack, reverting changes. Now it does this every time.I've tried running windows updates to try to reinstall but it just seems to go on forever. I have also run the System update readiness tool from microsoft but it does the same as the windows updates, runs continuously

I have spent the last couple of hours going through each GPO setting to disable as many features for my kids account on Windows 7 ultimate. I saved the file as kids.msc. The only issue is that I want to be able to clear these settings when needed, so that i can fully access the features. I could not find any options in GPO that allows you to reset the settings back to default...
PC boots normally, though somehow slowly � you can really hear the HD is working hard! Wireless is connected as it should, as one of the last tasks in the entire start up process. Good signal with 4-5 pins in the internet access icon down in the right corner of the lower menu bar, and no problems with connection to the internet. However, after 1 minute or so, I can hear the HD start working intensively again, and then it disconnects the internet access, shown by a red cross over the internet access icon. Just before that, the screen flashes a bit, and the color of the lower menu bar becomes slightly more pale, as if some booting is still going on. Going into the Services.msc, the WLAN Auto Config says that it is started, but opening it in �General�, it says Stop. When I click on Start, it reconnects and works fine again. If I do nothing, after yet another 2-3 minutes it tries to reconnect, and eventually after 5-8 minutes after reboot it is reconnected, and work fine again. I off course use Antivirus program (Microsoft Essentials) and have installed all the latest Windows 7 updates, including SP1.
I tried to allow my windows 7 laptop to print over the network, and after 3 hours gave up as nothing seemed to work. I must have done something because now I cannot connect to WiFi at all or Ethernet. It says on the system tray Not connected and below that connections available, and under wireless network connection it says it is connected to my wireless connection but I cannot connect.
since I installed Windows 7 on my computer, I've been having trouble connecting to the internet. I have a wired connection to a Belkin router. I have the latest firmware for the router.
When I start my computer, sometimes it will automatically connect to the internet, however most of the time it doesn't. I see a yellow exclamation point over the networking icon at the bottom, which says "Unidentified Network - No Internet Access".
The only way to solve the problem is by running troubleshooter -- numerous times. When the troubleshooter doesn't work, it says "Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP Configuration". I then have to repeatedly troubleshoot, or disable and enable my internet. The troubleshooter "Resets the local area connection adapter" - which works sometimes, but sometimes it doesn't.
Other times, it connects to the Belkin router, but says that there is "No Internet Access."
I have disabled the Bonjour service, which was a suggestion I saw in previous threads.
I just installed Win 7 and I have a 7.1 setup, but my subwoofer is not working. I'm pretty sure it's a driver/config issue, because all wiring is OK and it was working on XP some hours ago. I have an Audigy 2 ZS, but I also tried my onboard Realtek High Definition Audio, but the subwoofer does not work.
Just built new system MoBo is a MSI P67a-GD65 HDD is Western Digital 10ealx plugged in with the proper 3.0 ata cable, Windows 7 64bit OS. The problem lies in Windows keeps telling me that the current driver isnt compatible and to go to Marvel for more current drivers/software , yet when I go there there is not 1 single download available (that I can find) to correct this issue.
