Password Not Recognized Periodically By Windows 7 Home
Jan 9, 2010
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on Acer Ferrari 200 (pre-installed). There will always be times where after waking the notebook from sleep, the password will not get recognised. I am very sure password is correct. The occurance after a number of sleeps and wakes varies. And the only way to get in again is to hard reset. My account is admin privilege and the only account in the notebook. I have checked the security event log but there is not denied messages.
I have the latest Zonealarm Extreme 9 installed and Bit Defender disabled. All recommended Windows 7 patches installed.

Just built a new system today, components seem to be working fine. Popped in the 64bit install disk and...can't proceed past the first page of the installation because my keyboard and mouse are not showing up.I thought it might have been the usb ports, but the peripherals show up and work fine when I boot into UEFI. The mouse is a Coolermaster Storm Spawn, and I'm trying to use a Razer Black Widow keyboard.I did a google search,o remedy this.[CODE]

I am using Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition. Is it appropriate to use chkdsk periodically to check the health of my C: & D: file systems? Can running chkdsk cause any harm to the file system?

i've got 4 gb of ram, and using windows 7 64bit. my normal day to day memory usage is usually 1.2gb-1.8gb, that's using firefox, chrome etc... however recently i've started getting these events where for a couple of minutes at a time (sometimes until i close a particular program), my system will be using every single available piece of memory. not only does my memory usage reach 100%, my other programs (firefox, chrome, skype etc...) that are open start getting 'squeezed' out; i'm guessing they are getting relocated to the stack. for example, usually my firefox is running on about 150-400mb of memory. during these incidents and for some time after it gets squashed to 18mb, with the same number of tabs open etc... when the event ends, memory usage drops down to 900mb in one instant. what's also interesting is that my cpu usage drops down while this is happening, in fact during these periods it's quite lower than usual (usage doesn't seem to go above 10%).i've tried finding out what this is, however on task manager and resource monitor, there is no program that is using that much memory. basically, on the performance tab, it's telling me i'm using 3.9gb of memory, on the processes tab the sum of the memory used by all the programs there can't be more than 500mb (in fact during these fits the total goes down as the programs gets squashed out). so from that, at least from what i know, i'm guessing either it's a virus (i hope not and doubt it, i don't dl random stuff and i got kaspersky iss), or it's my windows 7 os which doesn't show up on processes. so i was wondering, is it possible that this is windows 7? i've never heard of this kind of bug, and i haven't been messing with setting recently, but i can't think what else it could be.also: i've noticed that these events can sometimes get triggered by particular events. for example, so far, everytime i've opened divx, this has happened, and it also lasted exactly until i closed divx; however it's not exclusively linked to divx. it happened once when i was just watching Internet, and another time when i was searching my disk for a particular file.

I was trying to open .pdf files last night and they weren't working. My task bar showed that there was an update to adobe so I downloaded it, restarted the computer and went to bed.
I got up this morning and the password screen was up. I tried to input the password and it said it was wrong. One weird thing is it's not giving me the option to click on my password hint, which I always create. I have not been able to get past the password.
I found my operating disc and put that into the drive, restarted the computer and nothing. The password screen still shows up exactly the same, no hint, password doesn't work and nothing happens when I try to use the disc. I've also tried F11 at start up and nothing there either.

I have a reset disk. I have Windows 7 Home Premium. I lost my administrator password, only one administrator account. I cannot find any button anywhere on the Welcome screen that I can click to 'reset password'. I cannot do it from the (limited) other user on the computer. I downloaded an Appliction called resetwindowspassword-set from 'download.cnet.com' and I cannot open the download because I do not have the administrator password.

My windows 7 laptop will not remember the wifi password for my home wifi connection. If I leave my house and then come back, I need to input the network password again. Why is this? My computer remembers other wifi connection passwords.

I lost my laptop in 2010 and found it a few days ago. I tried logging in but I can't remember the password. It only has one account and I don't have the password reset disk. The hint is not facilitating as I cannot remember at all. It's Windows 7 Home Premium. Is there anyway I can get into my laptop?

I've just completed a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium. When I connected the pc to the wlan, Windows asked me to type in the Home Group password from a machine called "Uss-Enterprise". The odd thing is that "Uss-Enterprise" was the name of the previous install of Windows on the same PC...So, I'm just curious of why the fresh install of Windows did manage to get network setup information from the previous installalation. I'm shure I deleted and formatted the Windows partition before re-installing Windows, and named the PC something else.

Ever since I've had this laptop I've had some periodic blue screens. I've never been able to pin down exactly what the causes are, as they seem to be a variety of things. I really hope I don't have to reinstall Windows because this laptop did not come with the disk

I have an issue where my flash drive periodically won't show up in My Computer... when I insert it, I hear the 'hardware insert' sound but no drive in my computer and no autostart. it doesn't show in device manager and clicking 'refresh' does not make it show up! if I remove the flash drive, the drive appears in 'my computer' for a second then disappears... the same problem occurs when I plug it into another port... I have four ports, only three of them are not used by something plugged in permanently... usually I have to insert the flash drive into random ports at least 5 times before it displays the drive...

Performed system restore to factory point when I first recieved the computer. When windows starts, it states that it is rpeparing the system for first time use, however it will get to the welcome screen and prompt for a user name and passwordSystem restore never asked for a user name and password. I tried using the account information from when I setup the computer originally but it does not recognize the username. Also tried to type in administrator for the user name and it says the account has been disabledI have tried to setup user through the command prompt and through the registry using the windows recovery disk. When all this failed I contacted Dell and they said I disabled the admin account during restore (I would like to know how) and I would need the windows installation disk which were not included.

I have a Zotac 570 gtx connected via HDMI cable to my Asus VE258 LED monitor.I've had this video card and monitor setup working before with the exact cable, card and monitor.Something changed in my system where the monitor is no longer recognized for what it is. When i go into my Nvidia control panel under change resolution 1.Digital Display, 2. DVI-PC Display - Resolution 1080p 59 Hz. There is no DVI cable plugged into the computer and the monitor is set on HDMI input. When i go to my Audio playback devices, the HDMI connection does not show up at all, even as disabled or disconnected.When i go to play a game (Diablo 3, Skyrim, Farcry2) The game either doesn't open (skyrim) giving me the error that resolution is not recognized (but then does not give me any resolutions to choose from in the options menu) or will play (Diablo 3) but is stuck on extremely low resolutions with only 2 options.
Here's what i've done. Contacted Zotac and had them send me the most recent drivers for the video card. Uninstalled originals and re-installed the new ones. Contacted Asus (they say its not the monitor as long as its set on HDMI input) I am unable to find a driver that will make my computer (Windows 7) recognize the monitor for what it is. Zotac failed after their attempt with the driver and told me to RMA the card. So i did... i waited a month.

I recently suffered a trojan virus attach and ultimately have changed my password on my email server.I have tried to reset it to the new password in Windows mail multiple times. It keeps reverting to the old password as the saved password, and I continually have to retype in the new password. I tried resetting the password to nothing, and rebooting, and the old password comes back again.There must be a preference file or an ini file that I can edit. Can I do that without loosing my address book, etc.?
