Setting Custom Shutdown Message
Apr 1, 2012
I'm new to windows development work.and I've Windows 7 installed. Now, I want to set a custom shutdown message - a custom message that I want to appear for sometime after I click the Shutdown button. Actually, my prob is that I've a portable mouse and keyboard. I always forget to turn it off after shutting down. I think that doesn't matter. This is a good discussion if there are programmers here. I also tried scripting, compiling and using registry hackers but really it didn't help.

Windows 7 32-bit Why do I get the following message every time I shut down?
"(Waiting for) Task Host Window Task host is executing shutdown tasks, and stopping tasks that are already running"
There are NO tasks running. This has been going on for days now. What causes this crappy annoyance and how can I fix it?

Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown. A problem has caused windows to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available.This happens multiple times a day... generally in the background.What do you recommend? All my drivers seem to be OK in the Device Mgr.

When I turn off my laptop there is a message that tells "a programme is still running, do you want to have a forced shut down?" But there aren't any programmes running in start task manager.

I've never experienced this message before. I have not had a virus or malware be detected in a year. This came up when I tried to close KVIRC, an IRC client program and turn off my laptop via the power button.Was this a glitch or something? I'm really hoping it isn't a virus. I haven't experienced any performance issues so..I should add the laptop appeared to freeze. I powered down, rebooted, and everything seemed to run normally.UPDATE: Microsoft security essentials picked something up with a full system scan. Not sure if the 3 viruses were related.

I have a ASUS Laptop with Intel I3 processer and Windows 7 Home Premium. I recently had a forced shutdown during a Windows upgrade session. Ever since then the Boot and Shutdown times have increased to over 15 minutes. I have run the msconfig unticking all but the antivirus (Kaspersky) and it still takes >15 min to boot and Shutdown. Is there something I can do before I decide to reinstall Windows &. (I dont have a install disk.) The software came with the Computer and I have the OEM code (Bought at Best Buy)

I have two windows updates that keep failing. When i go to shutdown my computer I always have an update icon attached to the shutdown key. The download is always 1of1. Then when i reboot, the update icon is still there. I'm thinking since the two updates are failing, it has something to do with the 1of1 update not downloading properly. I went to windows update to check for new updates, and the only one is the two that keep failing. My computer just blue screened on shutdown today, winch got me thinking i really need to fix this.

Im not sure if this is in the right category, but I think it could be Windows 7 related.My Powersupply died the other day so I purchased a new one and all was fine, except when I shutdown it either freezes or carries on for what seems like forever.The only thing is that on bootup my DVD Drive and SSD have changed ports so my dvd drive is now device00 and my SSD001.

I just finished my i3 build and am trying to get my Windows 7 Home Premium to install and am not having much success.
First of all, I want to note that I am trying to install from an external DVD-Drive via USB because it's extremely hard to get the Drives out of the old Dell computer. I either have to order new ones, or literally break that case.
Anyways, I've been messing with BIOS settings (mostly SATA config and USB legacy settings) and what not, but no matter what I try (seemingly) I get one of two things to occur:
1) The 'expanding Windows files' sticks on 0%
2) I get the 'Windows Cannot Install Required Files Error'
I'm back on default BIOS settings and am going to listen to you guys, because what ever I do doesn't work

I tried to change the default remote desktop port from 3389 to some other 4 digit number.
I did this via regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Terminal Server WinStations RDP-Tcp
I setup that port correctly as a port forwarder in my router. The original 3389 was working fine. However, the new 4 digit one is not strange enough (port forwarder is 'ok' according to one of those port forwarder checking sites). I tried to RDP from one network to my IP (confirmed correct) like this:
myipaddress:1234
1234 = being the actual port number I set up.
Of course, I do already have RDP enabled on both Windows 7 laptops.
What could be the cause of the invalid connection? It was working fine on 3389 by for extra security measures, I changed it to something else. I did restart the laptop as well.

Resently I built a custom computer. I assembled it and it all looked good... but as it got to the startup of windows 7, just past the "starting windows" part, it reboots. Then I wanted to install windows 7 again to see if it would help. But when it gets to the "Starting windows" part, it stays there. I've tried countless things including: Testing the RAM, Changing the PSU, getting another windows 7 install disk, shifting the GPU. But none have worked the least.

I had this theme working once. Somewhere along the line, Windows decided to activate aero again. I finally turned it off, but now it is using a default theme even though it says I am using the custom theme. Help/Troubleshooting is useless since it only helps you turn aero on.I tried downloading and installing a theme pack. It didnt work.

under XP, I had my own .reg file and an icon library, so that the drives of the card reader would have nice icons in the explorer. However, adding the info and copying the file does not do the trick in Windows 7... has something changed? What can I do to get my own icons back?

I've applied a set of custom cursors that just will not stick after a reboot but will after logging off and logging back in. As you can see by the SS, the Mac scheme cursors are already applied but the actual cursors don't reflect this.

I know the .ani & .cur files work for me as i had them working perfectly up until i clean installed onto my primary partition on my primary hard drive just the other day. The 'Mac' cursors are in %windir%Cursors btw.
If i select 'Windows Aero (system scheme)' cursor scheme, then re-select the Mac scheme and then Apply, the cursors of course change and stay throughout the session. After a reboot they revert to the default scheme however.
I've tried toggling the "Allow themes to change the mouse pointers" with a reboot.
Saving my current theme, changing the theme, switching back and rebooting.
And finally saving the theme for sharing (.themepack) changing to a different theme, applying the .themepack and rebooting.
All results are the same.
I have a suspicion it's a small reg setting (maybe a toggle setting, (value from 0-1)) but i'm not sure where it'd be and can't find anything relevant in the control panel.
No events are being reported.

I have a .scr file that I am trying to install, which allegedly I am supposed to be able to just right click and click install that way. However, the install option is not showing up when I do this. Other people have confirmed that the file works and can be installed for windows 7, as well as have the install option appear, but why might I not be able to?

I am currently building a custom desktop (Specifications in My System Specs) and I've run into a few problems along the way:
- When I first put it all together and powered it up, the edge of the motherboard literally caught on fire for a second and I immeadiately turned the power off.
- I returned the motherboard and the psu and got both brand new again.
- I just tried to reinstall the motherboard and psu and now I get no power at all to the pc.
- I checked all connectors to make sure they were plugged in tightly and correctly. Everything looked fine. The 12V atx power connector and 24-pin connector were both plugged in correctly.
- I checked the psu with a paper clip and checked the voltage of each pin that should have been outputting voltage. Everything was fine there. And the psu powered up and the fans turned as soon as I pressed the switch.
- Checked for bad heads on the motherboard. None.
- I also went through all of these steps already: PERFORM THESE STEPS before posting about POST/boot/no video problems! - New-System-Build - Homebuilt-Systems

I did a custom install from vista to 7(32 bit) today.
I deleted all old restore points through the space management, however, the partition reads a still mostly full. There is only 1.8gb out of 8.3 available. When I access the folder, there is nothing in there, even if I show hidden files.
I believe it is remnants of my old vista recovery drive, which I did not erase prior to my upgrade and was always equally full to what it is now.
How would I go about eliminating these files now so I can backup my new OS installation?

I recently built a new computer for my brother, and as of yesterday, the system will only power on, and the only way to power it off is by either turning off the PSU or unplugging the power cable, neither of which I feel particularly comfortable doing.
When the computer's power is off, the power can be turned on by pressing the power button. However, when the computer is on, pressing or holding in the power button does nothing. If the shutdown option is chosen from the start menu, the computer will go through the standard shutdown sequence, and the monitor will go to sleep, but the fans in the computer will continue to run. If the power button is pressed at this point, the computer will act as if it is turning on normally and boot into Windows properly.
This problem started late last night. Prior to then, the computer would shut down and power off normally. No hardware changes were made to the system between the last successful power down and the time in which this issue started.
System hardware:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
RAM: 4GB DDR3 (Two 2GB sticks)
Processor: AMD Phenom II X2 560 Black Edition (3.3 GHz Dual Core)
PSU: Cooler Master RS-460-PSAR-J3
Motherboard: ASUS msq-m4n68t-mv2(b)
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB
GPU: NVidia GT250
