I've checked the task manager and in the Processes tab it shows it running, or processing, I just cannot see it or access it no matter what I try. I'm getting no error code, nothing out of the ordinary. I've already tried bypassing the launcher and the game seems to be running in the background too.how actually stop a program from running in the background if possible, it just happened to a game, sorry for any inconvenience.

The Office Software Protection Platform service starts every time you start an Office aplication. It usually doesn't exit after you exit an Office app. If you are a process count control freak, you will be elated by this official tweak.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have used a power option to hibernate/shutdown my desktop after (say) 2 hours. This works correctly so that the system does not shutdown automatically when I am running interactive applications. At least one scheduled weekly task (McAfee virus scan) can take many hours and I normally run it overnight. But when it is the only task running, the PC hibernates (apparently after the prescribed interval) even though the application is still running.
I do not want to change my power settings to prevent automatic hibernation completely or to lengthen the interval meaninglessly. So: Is there any other way to ensure that the virus scan is allowed to complete before the system hibernates? During a scheduled scan, McAfee has an option to run "in the background". Would cancelling that option have the desired effect?
I'm just installed windows 7 on my 2009 imac through bootcamp. However there are some problems. Ive noticed when i try to play something on windows media player it will tell me that my computer is running low on memory and to close some windows. Also games run poorly if at all. I suspect its a driver issue but have gone through all the auto updates etc.

As I shutdown/restart my laptop, I notice it switches to a secondary desktop that has been running programs.A good example would be trying to open my Task Manager, I can Ctrl-Alt-Del and it will allow me to open Task Manager - however when I click on Task Manager, it opens on the Desktop running in the background. I can't even access the Desktop in the background, it only shows up as I'm shutting down - closing programs that I tried opening awhile ago.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am running into this issue of having complete access to one PC running windows 7 from another one that is also running windows 7. One of the PC's is a windows 7 pro 32 bit and the other is window 7 ultimate 64 bit. I have had them setup with public and dedicated folder sharing. But from time to time I find that a file I want to get off one or the other was not saved to a shared folder. I have been looking for a way to allow complete access from one PC to other one (going both directions). I use 2 PC all the times and it really depends on where I am in the house as to what one I am using as one is laptop and the other is a desktop. They are both on the same network. It is just one of the strange things that I have not been able to find a way to get complete file access without the use of software like Teamviewer or others like it.What I would like to do it just go to the network location in the windows explore to get the files I want from the other PC.

My laptop won't stop trying to do a backup (it's the first backup ever on this laptop) - for the last couple days the little flag in the system tray keeps coming up, after a minute or so of starting up my laptop, saying it's doing a backup (which is slowing it down incredibly). But when click on the backup message and try to open it, it opens up the box which only comes up with the title "backup and restore" and nothing else appears so I can't stop it that way. Even when I go into control panel to try and open it that way, it's the same.I've also gone into services and disabled it that way, but this hasn't worked either. I've also tried the "SFC /Scannow" method but it also doesn't work - the black command box flashes up for a second and disappears immediately every time I've tried it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedM$ has stripped-down Win 7 so much, it's nearly impossible use it effectively. Many features which used to allow users control over their own system have been removed.I want to know how to stop Windows 7 from displaying its irritating "User Account Control" pop-up redundantly, every time I click on a program listed in my "Start" list. The only way M$ offers users to stop the nag dialog is to lower the "User Account Control Settings" to a lower ("not recommended") setting, FOR ALL PROGRAMS!It does NOT require me to answer any question when I click on the icon in the Taskbar for the exact same program! I'm referring, for example, when I want to run either Windows Explorer 32-bit or Windows Explorer 64-bit. And, I have 1/2-dozen other programs in my list that I use many times daily. Many of them won't open without M$ asking me "if I want to open it!" Of course I do! I installed it/them so I could use it/them regularly -- any time I want to!!If possible, how can I configure this OS to stop nagging me redundantly when I want to run (my) installed programs which I use on a regular basis? My system:
* OS: Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit
* M$ stuck me with its beta IE 9 browser (both 64-bit and 32-bit), although I didn't want it! Now, I can't get rid of it. Typical M$.

When i shut down my pc,it shuts down with no problem,but when i restart it,windows begins to load it and suddenly it stops.I need to turn off my pc for 5 mins,then it loads windows correctly.I can never restart my pc.The problem is not about windows 7,i had just change from xp.I was having the same problem with windows xp.Everything else is good in my pc,just i'm having this problem.
I have recently purchased an i7 Ivybridge, Corsair Vengeance 8GB and Asus Z68 to upgrade my home built PC. Today, after assembling the parts, the usual splash screens show up all the way up to the windows logo. After windows finishes loading, a STOP: 0x0000007B error prevents me from going further. I have attempted to restore to 2 days previously with no effect and startup repair cannot solve the issue. When using my old motherboard, windows starts normally. Diagnosis and repair details state the Root cause as 'Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem'.
EDIT: Switched ACHI to IDE in BIOS. This allows me to reach the login screen but I am unable to use mouse & keyboard.

View 4 Replies View RelatedRecently, I've been getting a lot of BSODs and I've been trying to find what may cause them. I used the Device Manager and disabled a couple of devices. I've probably disabled a necessary device, and now when I'm booting my PC, it's getting to the point when it shows the Windows 7 logo, and then restarts, and so it gets into an endless restart loop.I then pressed F8 to try get into Safe Mode, but Safe Mode is not working as well. So I then pressed F8 when starting Windows again and chose "Disable automatic restart on system failure" to see what error code is being thrown. It shows the following: Code: *** STOP: 0x0000007B (...) Unfortunately I don't think I can get dump file because Windows is not working at all, but I have a very good assumption that I disabled a critical device in the Device Manager. Here is the list of devices that I've disabled: Code: Acronis Backup Archive Explorer Floppy disk drive (don't have any floppy disk drive)Standard floppy disk controller (same thing as above)High Definition Audio Device PCI bus (*I think the problem is here and is related to the on-board graphics card. I think It's an Intel graphics or something like this.) My question is: is there any way to somehow enable this PCI bus device from anywhere?
View 4 Replies View Relatedwhat this following error code means? I'm guessing it's some kind of hardware failure but I can't figure out what. I bought a new western digital caviar black 1TB hard drive, installed it with Sata cables and installed Windows 7 ultimate on it and it worked fine for a couple of days. All of a sudden today I get this error. I should mention that the reason why I decided to replace the hard drive is because my other hard drive(s) were fine until one of their sata cable broke in half and even tho I replaced the sata cables on those drives they still won't boot and would cause BSOD's. So, I decided to buy a new drive and new cables and try it.
