It seems that sleep mode has a lot of problems. One of my computers won't go into sleep mode (wakes immediately), and now the other one is acting strange too. This morning I hear my computer start up when it's not supposed to... on the screen it says that Windows recovered from a crash and asked me to send the error details to Microsoft. How can Windows "crash" while it is supposed to be sleeping/hibernating? I thought that in this sleep mode everything is supposed to be "almost" powered off? Why is there software running in the background that can crash? View the thread

Hello, I've always wondered about this and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Almost every day, Microsoft Security Essentials downloads a definition around 4 MBs in size. Are those files stacking up somewhere in my computer or are they some kind of single file that overwrites itself? Also, where in my computer is the program storing this information? Your help would be much appreciated. View this thread

Alright, I've got the Windows XP Home Edition-32 version, Service Pack 2. I bought a Gear Head keyboard yesterday, along with a Dynex usb optical mouse. My old keyboard and mouse were completly beyond repair i threw them away. I plugged in my new usb devices. When Windows is finished loaded it takes me to my logon screen. However, my mouse and keyboard will not respond at all. This prevents me from going any further. Also, they will not respond during the start-up, BIOS, or Windows Advanced Options Menu. I don't have a recovery disc. I bought the computer with XP already on it, so I don't have the Operating System disc. What's my next step? View this thread

I dont want to leave my laptop unprotected while I switch and MS Security essentials is installed successfully View this thread

Small point. I like WU set to notify only and so allow me to see what updates are available and choose whether or not to install them. Security essentials (which I know is different and separate program) always updates regardless of WU settings. If we want to use Defender it seems we are being forced to leave WU on automatic to ensure it updates correctly. I just checked in WU and there were was a Defender definition waiting but no notification ever appeared to tell me. ( I also installed updates yesterday and received the rather bizarre message that my PC would restart in 2 days time unless I manually did the job myself) View this thread

I purchased an HP Pavilion dv6 NOTEBOOK PC and a Razer Naga to play Diablo III (D3). Initially, when I first ran D3, it says my video driver may have been out of date. I used Windows Update to fix it and it worked perfectly for the first few levels. Recently, every time I tried to play D3 and used the side buttons, all I get is a consistent BSOD with the error below. Best Buy already replaced the notebook with the exact model and when they tried using the side buttons of the mouse, it had worked properly (well, according to them, that is). I went home, reinstalled D3 and the video driver (since it asked me to do it again) and I still ended up with the exact same error. Not sure if it's a compatibility issue between D3, my notebook and the Razer Naga but something is definitely making the three components not want to talk to each other, so to speak. Here's a link to my skydrive for the minidump file: http://sdrv.ms/Mp96ws Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1033 Additional information about the problem: BCCode: d1 BCP1: 0000000000000000 BCP2: 0000000000000002 BCP3: 0000000000000001 BCP4: FFFFF880043ED954 OS Version: 6_1_7601 Service Pack: 1_0 Product: 768_1 Files that help describe the problemC:WindowsMinidump61012-24024-01.dmp C:UsersOwnerAppDataLocalTempWER-41277-0.sysdata.xml Read our privacy statement online: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104288&clcid=0x0409 If the online privacy statement is not available, please read our privacy statement offline: C:Windowssystem32en-USerofflps.txt Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My PC went berserk yesterday, and i lost the use of some programs from the desktop and the start menu. When i try to open, it briefly tries to open in internet explorer and immediately jumps into a small center window and acts as if it's downloading from the internet, and they all have this .ink at the end of the program name, but nothing happens. For example the following four programs read: File download - Security warning Name: Trend Micro Titanium Security 2012.ink" Type: Ink_auto_file, 1.02XB File download - Security warning Name: Yahoo! Messenger.ink Type: Ink_auto_file, 802 Bytes File download - Security warning Name: HP Solutions Center.ink Type: Ink_auto_file 1.06 KB File download - Security warning Name: Bearshare.ink Type: Ink_auto_file 1.079 KB Also lost my Microsoft trial version when attempting to open from the start menu it also says: File download - Security warning Name:Microsoft Office.ink Type: Ink_auto_file I don't want to restore to factory settings. Oh, btw- I can't use restore to an earlier date from the control panel. It ttempt to restore, but then it says it cannot. From the system tools it says, Internet Exploerer [No Add-ons] and To top it off, four programs on the desktop have the white box with the internet explorer logo in them, over the program name. So i'm stuck. HELPPPPPPPPPPP. View this thread
