View 3 RepliesI am a computer technician at a local high school and I have a few, three to be exact, the have windows 7 installed and after leaving it logged on with no activity for over 8 hours it automatically log itself off?? I have seen other post about this issue and done the suggested settings such as changing the nic card settings and the screen settings all to off over never to shut down or log off and it still does? I even heard that a user was using the computer and it auo logged itself off?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble with my notebook. I recently decided to turn on the screensaver to "blank" after 10 minutes and set the power managemet to never turn off the display under either power condition. I would leave my computer for 10 minutes or so and then when I would come back, I was logged out. Yes, I mean logged out as in all open, running applications were closed, not just at the login screen. I searched the web and found many others with a similar problem. Most replies refer to the check box on the screensaver setup page that says "on resume, display logon screen." This is quite different though as even with that checked, the current user is not actually logged off and the running applications are not shutdown. I (and others with this problem) are actually being logged off. Incidentally, the box is not checked, and now the screensaver is diabled. Power management is set to never turn anything off, ever. I still have the problem. I then saw a post that said I needed to uncheck the "require password to logon" option in the user settings. Seemed odd since my computer worked as it should for the last 9 months with that option checked (by default), but I gave it a try. The system still logs me out. I then went back to the screensaver and re-enabled it with the "bubbles" but this time, I set the timeout to 9999 minutes, figuring that it would then take a week of idle time before it logged me out, if in fact that was the problem. Didn't work, still being logged out with applications running. I have searched all over the web, but can't find a solution.

I have looked on how to stop this from happening but can't find how. It doesn't effect the performance at all,m but is kind of annoying to have to log off of that profile and log in to another.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm encountering a very frustrating problem connecting to my office PC (which is Windows 7 Professional). No matter what client I use (Windows 7 built in remote desktop from a W7HP machine, Remote Desktop Client on Android, etc.) when I log on to the host machine it re-logs me on. Basically it seems to kill the previous log on session, logs it off, and then logs me in anew. This is really annoying. It closes all open apps and makes me reopen them. It takes much longer than a usual connection. I can't seem to find any reason for why this might happen, the only difference between this and the thousands of connections I've made over the years using RDP is that this is being done over our work VPN (A SonicWall VPN client). I don't see why that would make any difference but it's the only variable.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a little problem with the Task scheduler on Windows 7. I would like to use it to start a program, while my PC is at hibernation through the nighttime, so it can run while I am not at the PC. The problem is, that when i plan the Task in the Scheduler, my PC will start at the time I choose and wake up from the hibernation, but it all get stuck at the User logon screen.
I tried filling up both possibilities in the Security tab (Run only when user is logged on and Run whetever user is logged on or not), then it asks for my password and I fill it in. But it gets still stuck at the User logon screen after waking up the PC and wants the password to type in. I have only one account set up as the administrator with password, nothing else. Why won't it just work
Is there a way I can make my computer automatically login and then lock my account so that it does my startup programs automatically? (on Windows 7 x64)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI looked at my specific manufacturers toolbox to see details about the drive and I noticed that it has already accumulated over 5 billion writes so far. This thing is a little over a week old. So then I'm looking at my event logs and I'm thinking that every single one of these entries is a small write here and there and EVERYWHERE and it just never stops!! Then I tried to move the logs to my D: drive by modifying the settings within Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) and the major ones did move there, but then there are over a hundred different other log categories under windows and there were no group policy settings for those. I was inspired to start this thread by another thread regarding clearing all those log files with a simple bat file. That conversation is here http://forums.cnet.com/7723-19411_102-378338/delete-all-event-logs-at-once-in-windows-7/ They came up with a .bat file that does clean them all out with one swoop. I am not good with those things and I was hoping that modifying something small would enable those certain files ending in .evtx to be moved to a new location and registered within Windows. Otherwise it's a huge amount of time going through each one to change the location from within the Event Viewer.

View 3 Replies View Relatedmy Windows 7 install won't boot (not even Safe Mode!) In an attempt to rectify the situation, without a fresh install, as the amount of programs that need to be downloaded and re installed will devour my Internet quota for the month, I've run Startup Repair to no avail. I then ran SFC through CMD, and it found corruption but was unable to fix it. Now I have the CBS.log, except I can't read it very well, and the usual findstr command doesn't work when using CMD from Startup Recovery. So I need to know how to get that file out of there using CMD onto a USB or something, so I can find the corrupted files, and get to fixing them.
View 5 Replies View RelatedJust recently I upgraded a friends computer to Windows 7 from Vista. It was really slow and clogged with random background tasks and it seemed like the best option at the time. Anyway, she just told me that now when she turns the laptop on and logs into her account, it logs her back off and shuts down. Specs (as far as I can emember):Intel Celeron(?) dual-core @ ~2.4GHz2GB RAMIntegrated graphicsWindows 7 32-bitThe laptop is between 3 and 4 years old. I only installed Avast and OpenOffice on it last night and it wasn't doing any of this. She also never turns her laptop off if that has any bearing on the matter. I'm having her run the Windows 7 diagnostic stuff right now so I will post later as to what she finds.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhile taking a look around my Windows 7 HDD in Ubuntu, which can see tons of files that Windows won't show you, I went into my user account named "owner" and I saw a bunch of what appears to be Windows Log or preference files. They have long random names and with weird file extensions that Gedit (Like Notepad for Ubuntu but much more advanced) won't open. File sizes range from 0 bytes to 6.2MB with the average size at 64 or 512KB in size. I would like to know if 1. They are logging data and sending it to Microsoft. 2. They are old Preference files that need to be cleared out. 3. Why such crazy file names?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a PC I assembled last June. After I loaded it up with my applications and connected my devices I began getting device disconnect sounds as well as a few device connect sounds. I've been troubleshooting by disconnecting all devices then adding devices back one at a time to try to find the culprit. I'm not getting consistent or convincing results so far, but will keep working on that approach.
A Web search on the subject returns lots of results where users are experiencing these sounds. Answers are sparse. And antagonizing! I have not found any hints as to how to extract from the system what is actually happening. What I am looking for is if anybody knows where in the system I can find a log that records device connect/disconnect events associated with these sounds.

I'm not sure if the issue is with the screensaver or what. I used a Batman screensaver before this Inception screensaver, and MSN didn't log off. Although, in the far recesses of my mind, I remember this happening to me a year ago, but don't remember how I solved it.The Inception screensaver was easy to install, and works just fine. The only issue is that when I move my mouse to turn the screensaver off, I see that I was logged out of MSN. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. Again, none of myother screensavers have this effect: only Inception does. It was downloaded from here:' Inceptionust Enter the Site, skip the trailer, click menu and choose downloads. The screensaver is one of the options. I thought it was really cool, but it's not working out too well for m

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell notebook wiht Windows 7 64-bit that is getting a BSOD (0xF4) and I'm fairly certain is was caused by a rootkit, although I'm not 100% certain. One debugger shows wininit.exe as the culprit and another shows the kernel itself. At any rate, the system will not boot. It gets to where the login dialog is about to show and gets the BSOD. It will not boot in safemode either.Anyway, I've tested the hard drive and memory and I'm fairly certain that it is corrupted and/or rootkit files that is the problem. So I've booted to a Windows 7 repair disk and ran SFC and it tells me that files are corrupted and it can't fix them.Normally I would check the CBS.log file to see what's up, but I'm not sure where the log file is when running SFC from the repair disk. I've searched the "X" drive and the "C" drive, but there's no log files.

I've been having problems upgrading a brand new Vaio from Vista to 7 using the manufacturer-supplied upgrade. I initially tried clean installs, but whilst it would boot to desktop just fine, it was clearly having a lot of issues and was practically unusable.
I've been trying the in-place upgrade (as recommended by the manufacturer), but it always says the upgrade failed then rolls back to Vista.
No explanation for the failure is given, but I unearthed an error log that might explain what's going on.
Below is the error log, unfortunately it doesn't give many clues as to what the problem is. I suspect there is an offending piece of software (probably a driver) that is screwing up the install, but uless I can identify what it is I can't remove it. I'm tempted to RMA the laptop, but if it's a simple matter of uninstalling something then I'd much rather sort it out myself.
So.... Can anyone decrypt this?
