Windows 7 Gadget For Controlling The Display Time Out?
Sep 26, 2012
Is there a windows 7 gadget for controlling the display time out?
Getting tired of going right click > personalize > Screen Saver > Change Power Settings > Change Plan Settings > Then changing my screen time out from 10 minutes to x amount of time for watching movies.
If you know of any and can provide a link I would be much obliged.
made a mistake and i bought PWM (cpu fans/ 4 pin) and when they are plugged into 3 pin they max out. is there a way to lower the voltage for them other then using the bios, plus i dont want to mess with my bios at all.
I bought a scythe fan for my case to go on the side, i've tried plugging the 3 pin connector into the PWR_FAN(3 pin) and CHASIS_FAN(4 pin), it gets detected in the bios and in speedfan, and various other software to monitor the fans.
Its running at 3,000 RPM which is way to loud for me, i've tried ASUS AI suite, amd overdrive, speedfan ect to try and turn down the RPM but none of them effect it, its going at 100% non stop and wont slow down no matter what, and even in the bios when i selected 'silent' mode it did not budge in speed at all.
Mobo: ASUS M4A87TD EVO AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard Fan: Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan
Anything i can do to make this software or bios adjust the fan to the correct speeds? If i bought a hardware fan speed controller would that work? I was looking at something simple like this: Newegg.com - Sunbeam PL-RS-PCI Rheosmart PCI 20W Fan Controller
But i'd rather not buy if my Mobo or some software can adjust the speed for me.
We have a branch where we have a server (Server 2003) and four workstations (Windows XP Professional) all part of an internal domain we'll just call "ours.internal" so that it has a name. All 5 computers print to two network printers, one monochrome, one color.All of this works just fine. There are no connectivity or authentication issues whatsoever.The four workstations are public access computers. To control print costs we have paused the printers on each workstation and Group Policy prevents the public users from accessing the "Printers and Faxes" folder to resume them.In order for the public's print jobs to actually be printed, the public user pays the staff on site and the staff person connects to the "Printers and Faxes" folder on the particular workstation, from the server, and resumes printing to print out the job, then pauses the printer again when the job is done.This method works for a lot of folks who's budget simply doesn't include funding for a better solution and it has worked flawlessly for us since implemented.Introduced a Windows 7 Professional workstation into mix. It too is a member of the domain. It too has policies applied and paused printers, so public can't just dump unwanted print jobs to the printers. I even have roaming profiles working so I can standardize the desktop and change it on a whim if I like.However:I can't see the folder that contains the printers over the network.
I have an HP Pavilion dv4 and i noticed that when i move the mouse cursor over the battery icon in the system tray. It only displays percantage of battery, not displays the time remaing of how long my battery life is. So, Is there a setting somwhere or something I can do to make it appear?
I have been facing a wierd problem recently. My desktop monitor turns off itself after a few minutes but the CPU works, I can hear the fan running and see the lights blinking. One thing I noticed is that when the monitor turns off, the Orange light on the CPU stays on which normally just blinks. My PC works normally on safe mode, but the worst part about safe mode is that I cannot work on my software CorelDRAW. Can this be the SMPS problem? because recently my mouse and keyboard inputs were not working because of which I got a USB keyboard and mouse. I have recently installed Windows 7 64bit, but I think that should not cause the problem as I have worked with 64bit Windows before on the same machine.

I was stupid enough to manually delete my acronis files when I couldn't uninstall it the ordinary way.
Now windows 7 gives a short BSOD after logo and computer restarts. Startup repair doesn't fix the problem, neither from my windows 7 usb or from laptop, I have tried it several times.
I don't have any system restore created. I don't have any system image either to restore to either.
I really don't want to do a clean install again and wanted to try to do a repair upgrade, the problem is I can't boot into windows to begin with, and this seems to be needed to do a repair upgrade. When I try to do it from the USB it says I need to boot into windows first.
Is there a way to start the repair upgrade without having to boot into windows?
When I press F8 I don't get the options of safe mode, probably because I set the "time to display list of os to 0". Since I can't boot into windows 7 I can't change this above 0. Is there a a way to set this time above 0 from command prompt from my windows 7 installation usb?
How to set the weather gadget on windows 7 that is on my desktop to read my home place. At the moment it shows london but i am in norwich (about 100 miles away from london).

On my wife's laptop (i3 350 cpu) running Windows 7HP (Sp1 - UK ver.) The second hand on the gadget clock jerks around. It jumps between about 5 and 10 seconds at a time. I have run Norton & Malwarebytes' scans; replaced gadget settings; reloaded the clock; etc. but all to no avail. The whole process of adding and adjusting Gadgets appears to take longer than it should. At one stage gadgets were using the whole of one core! It appears that something in the background is slowing the gadgets up. I have gone into the Control Panel "Date & Time" and the second hand on the clock there works perfectly.
I've reformatted my system an lost the only gadget I ever liked
I installed it from another site but unable to find it again, it's similar to the multimeter but there are more readings and it came without any need to modify or customize, there are image icons down the left side, CPU, RAM, disk drives etc... with meters by the side and there's even one for the bin that turns red when there's anything in.
It even had a radio button where it would I Imagine lock in to regional radio stations.
I have just moved from Beta to RC and while it looked like everything is OK, I'm having this strange problem where my Weatherbug and XM gadgets will not work UNLESS I connect to a VPN. I have disabled the firewall, purged the DNS cache, disabled / re-enabled the NICs, but the problem remains. I have tried this on multiple networks on both my Ethernet and wireless connections (Dell D630 notebook) and get the same result. Any ideas? I'm not even sure where to start looking!
One more thing: I did perform an upgrade install from Beta x64 to RC x64 instead of the "demanded" clean install.
i have just finished a remote assist with Microsoft to try to resolve a problem i am having with my win 7 os. It appears from my trolling the forums that it is not an uncommon scenario. As i use my machine i see the memory monitor gadget showing more and more usaage of ram until finally i get a "not enough resources to run application" prompt.
The guy from microsoft cleared my cookies, my prefetch files, google toolbar etc without effect. He suggested that some of my optimising utilities could be the problem until i explained that i had installed the to try to CURE the problem. He finally cleared off without saying anymore and i was left a link if i wanted to resume the chat support. This link didn't work. Any comments would be great.
I've been having this issue for awhile now. When I try to do multiple things at once Windows seems to freeze for minutes at a time.I am running stock settings on all of my hardware so Im confused to what could be happening. [code]
I've installed snow leopard (hackintosh) on a separate partition and since then I've been having trouble with the clock it reads 3 extra hours than the original timeSo I deleted Snow Leopard and formatted the partition and checked the time again and no change at all
About a month after I started using it, the Say the Time clock program I bought stopped launching the management menu when I right click the date/time field in the task tray (notification area).
Therefore, I can't use or edit the program. Neither the touchpad nor the cordless mouse works.
Other than this problem, my computer works great. Every single item that's meant to be right clicked works for me.
Is there a way I can generate a log to show the software manufacturer (Provenio) that it's their problem and not mine? I am a novice user but I can follow instructions. However, I don't want to put my computer at risk if I make an entry error.
I've been using computers for 18 years and I've never had this problem until I bought this software and used it for about a month.
I just wanted a conclusive way of putting the ball back in the manufacturer's court.
I spilt some water on my laptop a few days ago but fortunately it's completely dried out and working perfectly.... apart from this minor (but important) issue.
Problem: the system time does not stay correct. Even after manually updating the BIOS time and also even after manually syncing it with the various servers available under the time options.
Fix: set the internet time sync interval to every minute rather than its default setting? How do I do this?
P.S. This couldn't be a CMOS battery issue surely because even when the system is on and plugged in the system time still deviates from correct. (I assume the CMOS battery is only used when the system is powered off.) If I need it replaced, how does that sit with my Dell hardware warranty?
