Obviously my problem is my pc wont sleep, it wakes a second or two after I press sleep. I checked google and this forum for a few hours and come up empty handed. Event viewer has no record of the pc even going into sleep mode, through the filter "power - troubleshooter".

I've looked through the Advanced Power Settings options and not found something that appeared to be an issue to me. It still auto wakes up with Allow wake timers set to Disable and When sharing media under Multimedia Settings set to Allow the computer to sleep.I also ran powercfg -lastwake in cmdafter an automatic wake up and these were the results:

I am running a Windows 7 HTPC, which connects to an LCD TV. Unfortunately, I keep getting automatic screen resolution and aspect ratio changes all the time.Each time I start the PC from from a complete powered off state, I have to go to the TV settings and change the aspect ratio. Many times, not each time, when I wake up the PC from from a sleep state, the resolution of the screen changes automatically from 1200 x 720 to the lowest 800x600.

Windows screen opens and immediately goes to white blank page and a few seconds later says Programme cannot display the webpage. I hadnt tried opening a web page or anything else. Eventually I get a Microsoft Security Essential messages asking if the following file path is malicious CWindowsuvwkviej.exe It then says restart required which I do but this doesnt solve the problem.

I left my laptop on and had to leave so I simply shut the lid down. About 2 hours later, I lifted the lid and got only a black screen. I moved the mouse around to get it to come on but it would not. After about 5 tries on holding down the button in which to start up my laptop or turn off in this case, it finally turned off then I was able to turn it on and all was fine. I held it down for about 15 seconds. So, question is why wouldn't my laptop become active again when I opened the lid, etc?
Here are some of my specs.
Model Number: Toshiba Satellite S875-S7240
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor Brand: Intel
Processor Type: Intel Core i5-2450M Processor
Processor Speed: 2.50 GHz, 3 MB L3 Cache
System Ram: 6 GB

Max. Memory Expansion: 16 GB

The only problem I have is that when I open or close certain programs I get an unavoidable 'black screen'. IE: When I get done watching some Death Note in Windows Media Center (full screen) and I decide to close it, occasionally it will close and just go blank. My monitor doesn't detect that it's been turned off, or that there's a problem.
So I'll do what a lot of people do, and ALT-CTRL-DEL once or twice to try and bring up that screen. No luck. The only time I can retrieve everything and save my data before shutting off my computer is if I have an unfinished word document and when I press my power button the screen comes back on and viola! I see windows again! It then asks me if I want to save my work, click cancel, I can resume my Windows 7 enjoyment.
Well, because I press the power button and Windows wants to shut down, it closes out of some services and other programs, so I'm limited (barely, but limited) to what I can do.
It is not only WMC that causes this. I play Combat Arms in full screen, and occasionally when the program opens (into it's full-screenness) it will black screen (and I can still hear the music, so the computer isn't crashing) or when I exit the game. For a bit I thought it was just when I play stuff in full-screen and my video card gives out.
So I open Game Maker, and I attempt to make a game every now and then. I save my work, throw my project into a test play, and everything works out. It begins in windowed, and so I don't screw anything up, I leave it that way. Well, I came here because that was the last thing I did. Close out of a windowed game that probably took barely, if any, video ram (I know it takes some, but old computers' on-board VGA adapters would have no problem running the program I made.) and I get 'black screen' after closing that.
Out of being piss off'd (yes. piss off'd.) I go to the ATI website and download the latest 7/Vista drivers for my Radeon X800 video card. Got the drivers, nothing special happened. Still get an occasional black screen. Got one of the forms of the Catalyst driver thing (I don't know what they are, so I just install them) and still nothing. I know that there is a sticky in this forum for the drivers, and I already have the drivers linked here.
So I tried the 32 bit link (getting catalyst stuff,) and I'm presented with the first download link being for 64-bit computers only. Why is it in the 32-bit page? I even look at the URL, and somewhere up there is says .../vista-32/sumin'... or something along those lines. So what the heck? Downloaded it. Now in its installation 7 keeps telling me "This program has stopped working," "This program has stopped working" all throughout the installation process.

over past week i've just recently installed win 7 x64 ultimate.everything runs fine and smooth except for watching full screen videos, while watching video in full screen after approx 4/5 mins of viewing the screen will auto close or go back to compact view which is extremely irratating, this happens withany type of media player for example , vlc player , wmp 11 , internet explorer 9 Internet videos or any in browser players, so basically anything that plays videos full screen will be reduced back to compact view or boxed screen after 4/5 of it being in full screen mode.1. disabled aero & windows 7 default main theme and using windows classic theme.2. checked to make sure graphics card has latest update from nvidia.3. went through avast anti virus for any apparent interference.4. re-installed graphics driver incase original install was bugged/glitched.5. checked all media programs & players where up to date & compatible with x64.6. searched via google for my issue with which no one has yet found solution.
7. direct x is of latest direct x 11.computer details & things to take into consideration:- nvidia gtx 260 graphics card & latest updated driver.- latest avast anti virus.- 4gb ram ddr3- i7 920 @ 2.65 ghz cpu.- with system being just recently installed there isn't much if any programs installed to interfere with system operation.final note;i had exact same antivirus and graphics card on vista ultimate x32 both with same latest updates and there was no problem running videos in full screen previously beforre upgradi to win 7 x64

I have two computers that have win 7 x64 pro/ult. Recently, both computers, after typing in my poassword for login to windows, I get the desktop, icons, the hardware meter gadgets, then a windows pops up, near the top left corner, about a 1/6 of the screen size, and it immediately closes. It isn't there long enough for me to read anything in it, or even see if there is anything in it. Under start-up folder in the start menu, both computers do have logitech registration.
I click it, fill it out, and re start the computer. Still happens, and the start up folder still has logitech's product registration there. I complete it, restart the computer, and the window still shows up, then closes. Damn near instantly. Under start-up, the logitech thing is gone, so it is blank. But it still happens. Installing the webcam and using it for Logitech Vid, is the only thing I have changed recently on both computers. Also, windows 7 did have an update. I have no idea what to look for in regedit.

If I let the computer sit unused, the screen goes black, as most monitors would; however, the screen stays dark when I move the mouse or hit buttons or something. Similarly, if I close the lid of my laptop when its turned on, and then open the lid, the screen stays black. Not only that, but when I closed the lid of the laptop, the computer never turned off. It was still running.I reset the power options to default as well, so there is nothing wrong there. Perhaps I should also mention that the screen successfully turns off and on in safe mode?
edit: Just tried a system restore to two weeks ago and the system crashed. Both times.

After closing the on screen display for Core Temp, I can't reopen it. The program's System Tray icon remains in the tray, but when using it to select "show", it opens a rather drab Windows like display, instead of it's usual one. Rebooting doesn't solve it, and going through the ini, I see nothing that appears to be for the purpose. How do I return it to it's previous behavior?

I have a dv7 notebook with Win 7 Home Premium installed on it. Everything is running fine, except a couple of days ago the notebook began to take too damn long to boot up when restarting or just when powering it on.
I noticed it gets "stuck" on a black screen, just like a blank DOS screen, for about 2 minutes before booting up Windows.
I have tried downloading new BIOS from HP website, resetting the BIOS settings, changing the boot order but nothing really works. It always stays on the black screen for around two minutes and then Windows boots up normally. No text is shown, nothing at all.

I have this Samsung Notebook and after using it for certain time, the PC crashed giving DOS sounds. When I started the PC again, I was at the boot screen asking me to choose the OS. Although my keyboard didn't worked. Now my PC is somewhat a brick. How can I solve this issue? What's the best way to restart the keyboard?

A few days (probably about 3) ago, I installed StarStaX. I'm a photographer, and I also have Lightroom and Photoshop Cs5 installed on my computer. Early in the day, it was totally fine, but then, my mouse gave out. It's a real piece of junk that you had to plug in and unplug to get working every time you'd restart the computer, (but it was USB, so no worries). Fortunately, I have a Wacom Tablet that I could use instead. However, when shortly after I started using the tablet, as soon as I opened StarStaX it would shut down saying the program had stopped working, even though it had been fine that morning. I tried opening it back up several times but the same thing happened. So I tried the old mouse again, which still wasn't working. An error message stating that an "unknown USB device" was connected to the computer started showing up for the first time. Anyways, to get StarStaX to load, I had to shut down Photoshop (and possibly Lightroom) and even then it was still iffy. Not long after, once I was done stacking photos, Lightroom began displaying the same shutdown message, most often if I went to change the color temperature of photo (so just a slider) or if I went to edit in Photoshop. Previously, these programs had run very quickly, even with several other programs like iTunes or Photomatix running. Now even Photoshop usually has to be the only one running or it will end immediately. So, I installed CCleaner, (I have no internet on the described computer so I had to carry it over via a Flash Drive), and deleted a lot of junk. I also took off some programs I know for sure I wouldn't use. When it still wasn't working, I ran Error Check on the C Drive (I think that's how you say it), and it still will not work. After this, on the advice of another user, I downloaded a program called Advanced SystemCare but that did not work.I am unsure as to what could be causing this problem, so sorry if it would be more appropriate elsewhere. It is not connected to the internet, so I don't think it's a virus, but I am unsure.Here's the specs on my computer according to SysInfo:

I've just reinstalled my Windows 7 (purely for speed), but while my previous installation of Real Player had no problem downloading live streams for recording, I'm stuck this time around to figure out how to get past a new error msg.I go to File/Open & put in the stream name - this particular one is shown in the msg below. When I try to connect I immediately get a popup box with this msgI've tried it with 3 different versions of Real Player but get the identical msg every time,s not necessarily the Player's settings.I have a Belkin Play router & am using Microsoft SE as my antivirus program and use both Firefox & IE9 as browsers.I've no understanding of UDP/TCP & ports etc & really don't want to start meddling with them until I know that's what I really have to do, & also get specific instructions etc.

This problem started a few months ago when I updated the video drivers on my NVIDIA card. What happens is that when the pc goes to sleep, either by my command or after timing out for inactivity, the pc will wake up when prompted by mouse or keyboard, but the monitors don't. I know the pc wakes because when tapping on keys or clicking the mouse button I will occasionally hear pings from the pc. I'm not convinced that the problem is NVIDIA's, but this does coincide with an updated driver of theirs.Ultimately, in order to get my machine working again I have to press the power button and restart cold. Also, and I'm not sure if this is worth noting, upon cold start, my Kaspersky and clock gadgets, which are normally placed in the upper-right corner of the right monitor, display in the left monitor somewhere off-center.
I'm diligent with keeping drivers updated, but I really have no idea what to do now. I'll post the stuff that may be relevant:Logitech wireless mouse M310 (unified w/ keyboard)Logitech wireless Solar keyboard K750 (unified w/ mouse)(2) LG monitors E2050NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 video cardWindows 7 Home Premium (service pack 1)64-bit OSAMD Phenom II x4 945 processor 3.00 GHz8.00 GB ram

I've recently started having the problem that my laptop immediately resumes after I press hibernate. I press the power button (which is configured to Hibernate) or press Hibernate in the shutdown menu, it starts to hibernate like usual, but then as soon as it goes to the Windows 7 screen saying something like "Hibernating...", it goes straight back to working properly, and not hibernating. I have made sure my networking devices are allowed to turn off, and that option for my mouse and trackpad is greyed out.

whenever i open internet explorer 64 bit, a message immediately pops up saying something to the effect of "internet explorer has stopped working. windows is looking for a solution .. blah blah blah" whether i wait for it to tell me to close ie or immediately try to close the message, it just pops up over and over again, making the only way to actually quit ie to go into task manager and end the process (i'm not sure if this is relevant, but when i do that, there are two "iexplore" processes, and only ending the second one (when they're in alphabetical order) actually turns off ie). the program launched from the menu item "internet explorer", which i assume is 32 bit ie, works just fine, as does the no add-ons mode. i have also seen several people asking questions about ie 9 64 bit stopping working on Internet and related sites because of issues with 64 bit flash or the lack thereof. this is not that problem - it freezes immediately upon the start of the program. also, i have just upgraded to service pack 1, but the problem existed before that (i was actually hoping sp1 might fix it, but no luck). i have also uninstalled updates to ie and then re updated to 9, but that didn't help either. (also it is really annoying that that's the closest you're allowed to get to uninstalling ie completely. i would feel much better if i could just exorcise the whole thing and start fresh, but no dice).
unrelated problem: i cannot get the below text about languages to go away. i didn't put it in myself, it appeared when i clicked "preview post". i've deleted it from the text box several times now, but it always reappears when i click preview post.afrikaansalbanianarabicarmenianazerbaijanibasquebelarusianbulgariancatalanchinese (simplified)chinese (traditional)croatianczechdanishdetect languagedutchenglishestonianfilipinofinnishfrenchgaliciangeorgiangermangreekhaitian

I have been using the program Nero SyncUp for a month, but a week ago, the program started to crash immediately after log in. A window error box comes up saying "SyncUp has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you is a solution is available." I have re installed the program and have used system restore to go back to when the program was working but still the same issue.
Where can I find more details about this error so I can go about trying to fix it. The exact same program works without any problem on my other computer that I sync to. When I open up the Windows Event viewer I see the issue under "Windows Logs - Application" as an error report but I have no idea what information on there is generic and what defines the problem or if this is even the place to look.
