My laptop connects to my desktop wirelessly allowing me to watch stuff stored on it and do other things. Recently, I started using the power settings so that after 30 minutes the computer goes into one of the sleep modes at which time access is shut off to the laptop. Is there anyway the laptop can prevent the power settings from taking effect when it is already connected?

Windows 7 shuts down my sound system after about 2 minutes. I can see the LED on my A-L speakers turn off. Any sound will wake it back up but if it's only a ping it doesn't wake fast enough for me to hear it. This didn't happen with this same hardware on Win2k (I skipped XP and Vista).I went through the Advanced Power Settings but under Multimedia I don't have an option for sound.I'd rather not disable power saving completely, so I'd like to find a way to prevent the sound system from going to sleep at all.

I've performed an sfc/scannow with no errors. Nothing has really changed in my system recently except my vid card driver. I can't say that caused it, but I rolled it back just in case with no change.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell XPS 15 and in Windows 7 Power Management, I am trying to set it to "Do Nothing" when I close the lid. The option is there and I am set to "Do Nothing" but closing the lid shuts off display, network connection, etc. In addition, I would like it to not shut off my network connection when it hibernates as when I log back in after the hibernation, it takes several minutes for the wireless network connectivity to return.

That may be ok as long as I don't lose any work in progress, but I would like to control this or at least understand it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows 7 7000 x64 on a quad core intel box. Most things have been working great but I have been having one annoying problem, the screensaver won't start, and neither will the power saving settings (i.e. turning off monitor, computer sleep)
Basically I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and figured out what software or hardware could be causing it or if anyone knows of a tool to check what input is keeping the computer out of the idle state.
Regardless of the interval I set in Power management, the screen always dims at 20 minutes and the machine goes to sleep at 30 minutes. Always, regardless of setting. [Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP-1]

View 0 Replies View RelatedI have my power plan set to Energy Star with display brightness set around 40% when on battery and 100% when plugged in. It seems to get reset periodically to the default which 40% for both battery and plugged in. I haven't been able to reliably reproduce the problem but every few days the plugged in setting gets reset to 40%. Is this a known problem with Windows 7?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Netbook power profile has these battery setting:
Level: Battery action/Plugged In
Critical Level: 5%/5%
Critical action: Hibernate/Hibernate
Low Battery Level: 7%/10%
Low Battery Action: Nothing/Nothing
Reserve Battery Level: 5%/7%
Reserve Battery Action: N/A
If I leave the netbook on battery and go to sleep/go out/whatever, when I come back it will be off. After plugging it in and powering it on. It will say it is resuming windows, and then I get the "windows has recovered from unexpected shutdown" after Windows is started. I'm not having any problems with Windows, but this message is annoying. Theoretically when the battery hits 5% remaining, windows will gracefully hibernate and I can resume it without any problems.
Is there a group policy to lock down the brightness settings that are normally configured into the control panel power options? Or alternatly, can I force these back to particular settings by saving and restoring regsitry keys upon user login?

"On the computer from which you want to shut down the remote computer, open a command window ("cmd.exe" in the Search box). At the command prompt, type "shutdown /i"to display the Remote Shutdown dialog box. Where it says, "What do you want these computers to do?" select Shut down (or you can select Restart if you want it to restart). Type at least one character in the text box for a comment/reason. Click OK." When I tried the above, the "OK" in the dialogue was greyed.

View 3 Replies View RelatedBeing able to remotely control your computer is an age old geek trick. But what about changing BIOS settings or installing an operating system remotely? With Intel AMT KMS this is within reach for any geek with the right hardware. Intel vPro is a management platform built into Intel processors and other hardware that allows companies to manage their desktops and laptops out-of-band (OOB). That means the computers can be managed no matter if the computer in on or off, and even if the operating system has failed or there is no hard drive present. With Core processors Intel introduced Active Management Technology (AMT) 6.0 which introduced a slew of new features including Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) Remote Control. This means that with the right hardware configuration you have full remote access to your computer no matter what state it�s in. Most geeks are familiar with VNC software that runs inside your operating system, but Intel AMT KVM runs at a hardware level which allows you to go remote with your computer in the case of a total system failure or even without an operating system installed. Let�s get started and set up Intel AMT KVM so you can go remote with your computer.

I'm running a setup with 3 monitors on a 2.7Ghz i7 with 16GB of RAM. I'm thinking I could setup another computer, connect to it over the network and have something setup so that much of the time one of my monitors is a remote connection to that computer. Basically giving me the power of another full computer at my same workstation without having to have another physical computer / keyboard / mouse here. I'm going to test the setup with Team Viewer and see how that works to operate a second computer on my network.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the interests of "Energy conservation" is there any sort of device that I could use to remotely power on a computer.
I like to have a home server running - but these days with all the beefed up hardware we could be talking of 200 - 300 watts running all day and night when I'm only logged on for maybe 30 mins a day.
If you take the number of people these days leaving computers running all the time thats a HUGE amount of "Wasted" energy to say nothing of adding to your electricity bills.
There must be some engineer out there who could design a really SMALL device which is connected to your router. When you accessed this it could power on your machine. This device would say consume only 5 watts or so -- still not zero but a HUGE improvement over having the computer powered on all the time.
Mind you these days in W. Europe - at least outside Germany whoever does Engineering anymore unfortunately. - A device like this however could make you HUGE bucks though.
My issue is that I am trying to Remotely Login to several computers that are in various locations, and then have these remote compters VPN to other networks so they can process some data. I can connect to the computers remotely jsut fine. I am also using NCP secure client to VPN to the works network. However the NCP session on the remote computers say they are connected, when I try to connect wiht my oracle client to the server I get an ora-12154 error as if there is no vpn session to my works network.
My machines are all Windows 7 64 or 32 bit. They all are connecting to the network using NCP client. I am remotely logging in to them using LogMeIn.com (Also tried the windows remote session).
I primarily use two desktops for my work in my house. They both access the same Internet via ethernet cords, and they are always on. I often switch between the two desktops, which means I have I re-open all my programs.
I want both desktops to share everything they do(something I open on one computer opens remotely on the other).
How can this be done? I am open to any software(ie:both desktops also have Linux)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Dimension with 5150 with 2 Gig of RAM installed running Win7 64-bit and has been running it a couple of years. All of a sudden now it allows one to login, but after a few seconds the screen goes black and the K/B and mouse stop responding. The power light on the monitor goes from green to amber and the PC keeps running.
If I boot the PC up and not login, it will run forever. I can remote in to the PC at this point and it works fine. The PC is mainly used by a user who remotes into if from a branch office, so that works out ok. This user comes into the office on Thursdays though and today we discovered the problem.
I can also boot the PC into safe mode and it will run forever. Only when I log in regularly at the PC does it "lock" up on me. Once that happens I have to power it off and turn it back on to get it to work again.
I checked to see if anything new was installed...nothing. I checked the latest updates installed, which was 09/20/12. I uninstalled one of the security updates to see if that had an effect...nada.
I've checked the Dell website for drivers. They of course do not show any drivers for the 5150 running Windows 7, but as I said before this PC and at least five others here at the office have been running just fine until this problem was noticed today.
I currently run windows 7 home premium on both my PC and laptop (64bit). I wish to remotely access the PC from the laptop via the home network. As home premium does not support this should I upgrade to windows 7 professional to get6 this facility or purchase seperate software?
