Reactivating Computer From Sleep Mode - Not Reconnect To The Internet
Oct 2, 2006
I have a HP Pavilion (new 1/06) with Windows XP, Avast 4.7 Anti-Virus(free version) and Zone Alarm(ZA) Anti Spyware(I purchased ZA for one year). When reactivating computer from sleep mode, it will not reconnect to the internet or my e-mail program without restarting the computer. As soon as I try to reconnect, the ZoneAlarm Icon becomes active and for some reason does not allow a connection to be completed
My computer goes into sleep mode immediately when i start it. Ive tried to reset the CMOS, but it doesnt help. After about 30 secs it emits a series of fast beeps. It just stays with a black screen, i dont even get a booting screen. What is causing this?
my computer suddenly displays a message."entering sleep mode" and restarts. I have my settings in power management in control panel set at never for turn of hard drive etc, etc...so in theory, my pc should never shut down on its own??....also, both IE and firefox from time to time get a message "...has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.." when this happens I send the report to whereever. and restart my browser...I've tried running in safe mode and still get the same problems....more ofter w/IE than firefox
The problem that I am having is with my HP Pavilion XT983 Desktop Computer. It will not boot up when I power it on. The power light is on and the monitor is in sleep mode. The only thing that is operating is the fan. I have tried rebooting with the boot up diskette but it is not reading my A: drive. It also will not read CDs.
This is a weird case because i lost my internet connection after putting my comp on standby accidentally. My brother managed to track it down to my firewall software (ZoneAlarm 6.1). I got it removed but there was still no internet.Are there any ways to force windows to reconnect because i still cant get my IP address from my ISP (sidenote: the hardware, ISP, modem are all right). I tried safe mode and the repair function to no avail.
The problem is that whenever I "switch user" (win + L) out of my account for someone else to log on their account, when they try logging off, my monitor acts like if I was putting the computer into sleep mode. That is, it goes black and some messages come up on the screen saying the usual "check power etc" messages and the light flashes. The computer continues to run and there is no way of restoring my screen so I am forced to press the main power button on the computer tower.
I have a home built machine running XP Pro. It is a clean installation since had some recent other problems with it and completely formatted hard drive and reinstalled XP. I have added all the Window updates including sp3. I have a GE Force 6200 video card and have installed all the drivers but the machine will not enter sleep mode either manually or automatically (I mention this because I have read elsewhere this was a problem for Vista but haven't seen anything anywhere for XP). I even set the bios to force sleep mode and nothing happened.
I can't figure out why my computer is going into sleep mode. I have the power settings to "always on" -- but maybe 15 minutes or so after the screensaver comes up, the computer goes into sleep mode. I guess it's sleep mode, the monitor goes dark and all I have to do is slightly move the mouse and the computer "wakes up". Also, there are a few things on my HJT log that I'm wondering what they are, how they got there, and can I get rid of them. The issues I'm talking about will be bolded in red
System has always run well, until I noticed the CPU cooler fan had started to rattle. So I cleaned the heat sink fins, replaced the cooler fan, and fired her up. BUT after awhile, (usually 15-30 minutes), and after the screen saver has kicked in (5 min) the screen goes black, and the system will not respond. If I hit a key the HD light comes on, but that is about it. When I shut the system down, and try to reboot, I get absolutely nothing, no POST, nada. IF I let the system sit overnight, it will reboot the next morning. Checked in the BIOS hardware monitoring section, and CPU temp and speed never rise about 60 C, (shutdown is 110C). Checked Windows, and power scheme is set for nothing to shut down, ever (monitor, HD, etc), and it�s not set to hibernate. Problem did not occur until I opened the case and replace the CPU cooler fan.
My girlfriend has a dell computer, that came pre-installed with XP. We had to reformat it and reinstall XP with whatever disk comes with the dell. She recently restarted her computer and it says that the 30 day grace period is over and she will have to put in the product key to activate windows. She put the product key number we had to put in when we reinstalled. (This number is on a sticker on the side of the dell) After inputing the number several times, it still says it will not work, and she can't get to her desktop anymore without this 30 day grace period thing. I'm going over there saturday to take a look at it, but it seems like I can't avoid a call to microsoft.
I have realtek audio 97 build in sound on a win media center XP machine. Sound is fine on boot-up, but after energy-saving sleep modes I may or may not lose it. Device manager says all working fine. Soundman.exe checked in start menu, but no icon in tray. Oddly, on shutdown the sound will return and play the log-off sound. Any ideas?
My main system run XP Pro (SP2), and I make a lot of use of the Remote Destop feature.After I disconnect my remote session, on the local system it's at the login prompt [1] and I'm wondering if it's possible to make it auto login after the remote session disconencts, much like the system auto logs in upon boot
I went into bios and disabled the search for the A: drive , because i couldn't care less. then it brought me to the screen to choose to open in safe mode, normally, or from the last point where windows worked well. problem : i can not use my keyboard in this setting, it works in bios, but i cant choose to load from the last working point of the OS.
When starts the PC it boots normally till it reaches where it shows windows XP logo then the screen gets blank. he press the sleep button on the keyboard, then after that press the hardware switch on/off button (not the reset button) on the tower of the hard box. After pressing switch on/off button, he gets directly (pay attention to this) to the login screen where he can see the usernames for all users. He has to do this procedure every time he would like to boot the desktop.
The "sleep" button on my computer keyboard won't effect the hibernate function on my Windows XP Home Edition computer. It worked well until several months ago and then, all of a sudden, it stopped functioning. I can get it to hibernate by using Start-Turn Off Computer-Stand-By, but the "Sleep Button" does not work. I did some Internet research and one site indicated that it might be a driver problem.
I have just put together an i7 930 with an Intel DX58SO using XP Pro and USB K/Board and Mouse. How do I make it come out of sleep mode? Even the power switch doesn't do it.Reset is the only button that works but that resets of course.
im on a Dell laptop with windows XP with sp2..My internet was going fine and then all of the sudden it stopped working. If i restart it works for one or two IE pages but is really slow. AIM works but is also really slow. But I can use both fine on Safe mode with networking. Any thoughts? I'm assuming its some sort of process messing it up.
I can only connect to the internet with an XP Home SP3 when I boot up in safe mode. I connect directly to the router, and am running MS Security Essentials, and windows firewall. (removing MSE and rebooting in normal mode still doesn't help). The PC has been offline since March, but I have been applying MS patches and MSE updates manually monthly since. As it will connect in safe mode, I guess that means that the hardware, TCP/IP stack, and Winsock is OK.
Before I start disabling processes one by one (not really looking forward to that), please does anyone have any idea of likely culprits? It is a simple PC, not running anything exotic at all. Office 2007 and Picasa is about the most exotic...... As an aside, I also appear to have lost the 3.5" A drive, but that is of secondary concern.
I run WinXp on a Compaq Presario C304NR laptop. I connect to a wireless network in my building and often d/l laaaaarge files overnite while sleeping, but my pc always goes into a sleep mode (and the wireless modem light turns off for some reason) while other running programs stay running. How can I keep my pc running in normal mode for a long period of time w/o the screen going blank and disconnecting from the wireless network?
I got problem with his desktop XP SP2 , when he starts the PC it boots normally till it reaches where it shows windows XP logo then the screen gets blank (i.e he can not see the login name for users). What he used to do: is press the sleep button on the wireless keyboard, then after that press the hardware switch on/off button (not the reset button) on the tower of the hard box. After pressing switch on/off button, he gets directly (pay attention to this) to the login screen where he can see the usernames for all users. He has to do this procedure every time he would like to boot the desktop

I'm on XP.Internet explorer only works in safe mode.In regular mode, it keeps saying waiting for http:, then it will take 45secs to 1 min before it connects. After 5 mins, I lose connection anything online.In safe mode, I stay connected forever, and internet explorer works.
Just recently I've started to lose my USB cable modem connection while on standby. This was not occurring previously. Obviously some setting has gotten changed and I don't know how it happened, I'm relatively certain its in my Widows XP Home Edition software.By trial and error I have learned to reconnect by going to the control panel, network connections, right-clicking on the "Local area connection" heading" and clicking on "disable", which changes the status from "limited or no connection" to "disabled". I then right-click on the heading again and click on "enable". This causes a reconnection. Obviously, I would rather not have to go thru this process each time I go on standby.Since I have a USB connection, a tech advisor at another support forum has already had me do the following; Control Panel/System/Hardware/DeviceManager/ UniversalSerialBusControllers/PowerManagementtab(s) and uncheck each of the (4) options to shut down on standby to save power. For whatever reason,this didn't work, and now he's suggesting that I get an ethernet connection instead. I'm sure that would be superior and maybe solve the problem (and maybe not), but I don't have an ethernet card and I also may soon have to revert to a dial-up connection due to cost..I also confess to disabling the system timer [under system devices] but not knowing what that really meant. What I do know, however, is that the connection is still shutting down on standby.
Recently our computer (running Win XP Service Pack 3, 512MB RAM, Hard Drive approx 33% full) has starting running really slow... Like taking 3+ minutes to open a Word doc. But mostly it seemed to be the internet that was running super slow. We have run our Norton and Ad-ware (malware & spyware program) and found nothing.Today, I was unable to even get IE8 to open. I kept getting the "(Applicationname.exe)has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
My computer is in really bad shape. I have XP version 2002 service pack2.My internet connexion only working in safe mode with networking My anti-virus doesn't work anymore and the others I tried to install either. I've already run in safemode Super Anti-spyware and Bitdeffender, they quarantine and delete a lot of.
I recently had to re-install Windows XP, and now when the computer comes back from sleep the taskbar is at the top of the screen and is non-responsive leading me to have to restart my computer every time it goes to sleep. The easy answer would to not have the pc go to sleep, so i tried that, and even when it goes to screen saver mode, after being in that for more than 30 minutes, the problem occurs. Anyone have an idea of what is going on?
the S3 sleep state to work on the Tyan Thunder K8N motherboard running WindowsXP Pro x64? When I check my sytem from within Windows, it only says it supports S1 and S4 sleep states... I have the most recent motherboard bios and all other 64-bit updates installed... but for whatever reason, no utility, test programs or even Windows itself sees that this motherboard supports the S3 sleep state.It's a logo'd desktop motherboard, so it is supposed to support S3, but I can't for the life of me get WinXP Pro x64 to recognize that it does.
I have tried everything to find out what is blocking my internet connection from working in regular mode for more than 30 seconds. My internet connection works just fine when i boot in Safe mode with networking and thats it. Can you please help me find what is blocking my internet connection on my computer!
I have a hp windows xp model number a705w and a problem arose with my internet. Whenever i open up any web browser (IE, Firefox, Safari) it won't let me!!! When i run the diagnostics for IE it says there is a problem with my HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP ports (error 12029). I do not have any firewalls besides the normal windows one and sometimes I have gone as far as to turn that off too but that doesn't work either. The wierd thing is that all the web browsers work in safe mode with networking but not in the normal mode so my ISP says there is aproblem my computer.. any ideas what it is or how to fix it?
