When initiate either one, before the shutdown will complete, am told that the reboot must wait because the ScreenShot Manager is still running. Now, the wait is only for a couple of seconds then the shutdown completes ... so it's no big deal - just frustrating. But I'm wondering if there is something running that shouldn't be.I do have 'Sticky Notes' running (have a couple of notes always there to remind me ... something have to do each week) and wonder if that causes the 'screenshot manager' to run.
My windows 7 dell laptop hung on an application, no responsive desktop, no hitting start menu - nothing. I went to task manager and found NO Shutdown Option tab - I'm use to xp which had options under Shutdown, like restart, etc. So how do you shut down windows safely? I had to hold the power button until it turned off. On restart of course I got the dos window "windows did not shut down properly. Do you want to start in safe mode, or hit enter for the highlighted start windows normally
The start menu is changed, can't find the screenshot tool any more, can't find the paint tool also, so print screen doesn't work tooIs there anyone know how to do?offdare has chosen the best answer to his/her question.Click here to view the answer that was selected.
This is a tool i have been using to take a snapshot of images of any size, and anytime. Alt+PrtScn or other key combos, are a thing of the past with this tool. The tool is call MWSnap, a freeware downloadable from Mirek's Free Windows Software and elsewhere.
When I hover my mouse over something the finger cursor appears. However I can't seem to get a screen shot of the cursor. I get this result without the finger. I have tried with snip tool and printscreen key. A quick google search resulted in must have high powered graphics editor program. Any suggestions on a free program that would work.
I'm trying to take a screenshot of my music folder but it is too big to just alt+print screen. Is there a way to take a screenshot of the entire folders contents built into windows or a 3rd party program that can do it.
I'm using windows 7/ internet explorer 8. My computer has been running so slow to download all programs, only to then sometimes freeze and nothing works etc. etc. Also I receive messages saying "have to close down will let you know when this has been fixed and nothing happens.
my computer was not booting up so last night I went to the built in startup repair in Windows 7 and through the command prompt did a "chkdsk c: /f /b" which I saw online. It took about 15 hrs to get where it is at now which it finished the stage 5 and now says "Free space verification is complete." I thought that meant it finished but im assuming not because it won't let me type in the CMD box. Its been at this point for about 2 hours now and im wondering if I should try to shut down and boot up my computer or wait out until it does more. Also during stage 4 it said a couple times that windows repaired bad clusters?
I have to send my drive in to OCZ for an RMA and I asked how long it would take because I can't wait too long for the RMA to happen.So I said I could still return the drive to the store, however the tech support rep., said I could use my recovery back up and put it on another drive as long as the other components of my build are the same.
I can't logon into my computer because when windows boots then it will freeze on please wait without any hard drive noise. To fix it "temporally" i will need to boot on safe mode and them use system restore. Then when I shut down my computer and then tomorrow when I turn it on again it wiil freeze on please wait again.
I have tried to repair from the disk and I have tried a system restore. It will only start in safe mode without extra functionality. It happened yesterday when my power after out ran.
my company employees are connected to a domain. everytime the sturn the pc on, it takes about 10 mins for the sign on screen to come on- this is all in black screen.
ive checked on the services and there is nothing specific running in the backgroup just the usual group policies. this issue is happening to about 5 out of 100 ppl in the company.
I've had windows 7 for like 4 months now and i turned my computer on today and it was at the please wait screen for about 15 minutes so i forced shutdown by holding the power button and tried again but it will not go past the please wait screen right before the login prompt. I decided to try to run in a different mode and right now i am running in debugging services mode in which functions are limited.
It really sucks because it's a driver that, when not installed, causes me to crash all the time! I've already tried disabling Windows Security Essentials' Real-Time Protection.
Each time I uninstall a program, after it completes and I try to uninstall another, I get the following message: "Please Wait Until The Current Program is Finished Uninstalling or Being Changed". Why?
just installed IE9 and the first thing I noticed when I acess some websites is a box in the middle of the page saying " Message from webpage: "Please wait for the page to load..." it is really annoying and pops up several times if I close it or press ok
I am trying to uninstall some programs on my computer but every time I try, I get this same message. Of course I have rebooted my pc, and the other more obvious issues concerning this but every time I go in and try it does the same thing. I really need to get some programs off my pc! Box that comes up that states that I have to wait for the other program to finish uninstalling before I can do another in which it never is finished. It just sits there like that.
I've got a new Samsung laptop. For about a month now whenever I boot up the laptop it says "installation may take a few minutes""please wait." The thing is it doesn't install anything at all and is a nuisance. Also I checked the windows task manager and all it says it is is a 'install'. How can I stop it?
I've notice that Windows Update, after just installing the OS, gives you some optional updates, and those updates are the drivers for your devices, and it seems that if an update for that drivers goes out, Windows will let you know so if you want to download it you can do so. Now my question is, Is it better to go to the manufacturers website and download the latest driver manually or is it just the same to let windows search for it automatically and download them when there is an update?...
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.
I am installing more RAM in my system, and want to monitor the page file for improvement/reduction in size and use. Other than performance monitor, can I see the page file in either task manager or resource monitor?
