I recently installed Windows 7 Pro-Ed, on my HP Pavillion Dv4z-1200 laptop that runs with these specs: Dual-Core AMD Turion X2 2.1GHz 4G DDR2 250GB.I cannot seem to edit the power settings to my laptop. I click on power options to change when it can sleep and I get the error: (X) Your power plan information isn't available. Why can't Windows retrieve this information?When I ran Windows 7 release candidate for several months on my laptop prior to installing the full professional version, I had never encountered this error.
I am trying to change power setting but I got a message "Your power plan information isn't available." I will download a game that will take me like 8 hours. I'm about to sleep already and decided to change power setting and sleep option but options are not available. I activated the account administrator and have 2 account administrators. I logged in on the account administrator and got no option. Same as with the other account. What should I do?
I want to show more than 2 power plan in windows 7 I saw pic on internet that have 3 power plan How to edit and show all power plans in windows 7 I mean I want to show Balanced & power saver and high performance not show 2 only for example balanced & high performance?
Under Power Options in the control panel, the plan settings for My Custom Plan 1 are for the display to turn off and the computer to sleep after 2 hours sitting idle it is not working.I tried bumping it to an hour for each and it still does not work.
I have my power plan set to Energy Star with display brightness set around 40% when on battery and 100% when plugged in. It seems to get reset periodically to the default which 40% for both battery and plugged in. I haven't been able to reliably reproduce the problem but every few days the plugged in setting gets reset to 40%. Is this a known problem with Windows 7?
This week the rest of my build should arrive in the mail... but in the mean time I want to install and set up windows 7 so I can just plug it and go when all my stuff comes in. I won't update drivers and whatever else... but I should be fine just swapping a drive between machines as long as I don't install drivers from the set up machine?
Anyways, in laptops (gaming or not), does setting the power plan to High Performance actually improve gaming (frame rates, speed and anything else) in battery mode? I'm using a laptop (not dedicated gaming, but suffices) and my games (the recent ones) slow down whenever I'm in battery mode. A couple of friends told me I should set it High Performance, which I doubted since they don't seem to be the type to change the power plan settings and more so with the advanced plan settings.
My boss had me upgrade a co-worker's home computer from Windows XP to 2007. I made the mistake of not doing a clean backup of all the documents and other information.eedless to say, the upgrade wiped away all the software and the setup from before. Working with the co-worker, most of the programs have been restored, but there are two issues that right now are the most pressing, which concern Microsoft Outlook and Itunes.The co-worker had a series of older e-mails and contacts saved in Outlook that are obviously no longer there after the upgradeAs far as ITunes, there is a folder for MyMusic but only what appears to be one large file document for the music. What confused me in this instance was that there were 3 songs that were not recently downloaded in that folder. If the co-worker plugs in his Ipod to charge it, will he lose the tracks there? I advised him to contact Apple to look into his account and recover any songs that he downloaded.
I'm selling a Dell Vostro 320, OS Windows XP and would like to know how to remove personal info. I created a new administrator account and deleted the old one where the personal info was stored.
What information is in the ntuser.dat file? Is is simply profile information or does it contain information about browsing as well? I use ccleaner to delete the .dat files in the temp internet file area, but I don't want to have browsing history, especially accounts, exposed someplace else.
Whenever I try download file in IE 9 a information bar appears in the bottom of the page asking whether want to save/open/cancel the download. Is there any way by which it can be disabled. I could not find any option even in security->custom settings. Do I have to do through Registry Editor
I just bought the retail dvd of Halo 2 and I'm trying to install it on Windows 7.The install pops up a message box that says Quote: "This computer's performance information has not been created.You should create performance information on this computer before running Halo 2 for Windows Vista.Click Start, Control Panel, System and Maintenance, and Performance Information and Tools." and the installation stops when I hit 'Run' anyway.But I have done a performance test to create a score of 5.9. I have a quad core i7 with 12 gig of ram and a 2gig Nvidia graphics card. It seems Halo 2 just doesn't recognise the performance information.I've searched but I haven't found anyone else who has had this problem.I can't believe Microsoft seems to have locked this game into Vista-specific requirements - that violates the basic future-proofing principles that Microsoft has been espousing to programmers for years.
i usually record PC games using fraps and it got me thinking to how do people record console footage and then put it on the computer.The problem is i dont know the first thing about gaming capture cards and how they work, i do know however that some of them are PCI cards.
1. if a console is connected to a T.V how is the footage captured from the console to a PC?
2. Does using capture cards also provide audio or do you need certain cables (3.5 jacks, hdmis, etc)
I keep getting this message which says that Additional log on information is required.Sometimes i get this message when i boot windows or sometimes when i logoff and log into windows again.
basically sometimes when im downloading a file using IE 8. it goes to save as i can pick location to save my file.sometimes it just hangs on getting file information and times out. ( thought the link was dead ) then used IDM - internet download manager it works.tried same link on firefox it works...wondering why sometimes IE 8 hangs on getting file information? Last i remember was doing some registry tweaks, already reinstalled windows 7, ran uniblue's registry.have reset internet settings, checked security settings tab aswell. no firewall, not my eset nod32 antivirus blocking.
I have Windows 7 OS and Microsoft Office 2010 programs installed on my company computer. I need to fill out the Metafile as much as possible. Each time I bring up the Properties under the File tab it has the Company listed as Hewlett-Packard (my computer manufacturer). Where can I go in the Registry to change this or how can I change this to show my company's name permanmently, instead of the HP name. This happens on all of the MS Office 2010 (Word, PowerPoint,Excel, etc.) newly opened files.
I need a software which could save the information when a file is copied from my system to a flash drive, when a person logs into the system, when a person uses internet...I need it for all applications used by the user to be logged in that software.
today i installed an ssd into my dell 435t.windows has installed no problem.i am keeping the old HD in the system, and currently it has all of the old information on it.is there a way to simply migrate all of the information from the old HD to the new SSD? i plan to knock out the partitions and reformat the old drive when i am satisfied.can it be simple as borrowing a restore point from the old disK?
