    Windows 7 Soundcard switches itself off when idle

    I can't seem to find a Vista version of the utilities you mentioned, could you please provide a link? I see SoundMax drivers for vista/seven, but they are "drivers only", no control panel utility.

    Windows 7 Soundcard switches itself off when idle

    Couldn't find anything under Control Panel or BIOS, but I did find something that might be related in the device manager: Link Removed due to 404 Error but I'm not too sure how to interpret or modify those settings. There did used to be a control panel applet for SoundMax in XP, but it's not...

    Windows 7 windows 7 driver power state failure caused by ntkrnlpa

    You say "finally", what was the problem you had installing the thing? Could be related. What software have you installed to support the drive? Have you tried updating that software?

    Windows 7 Soundcard switches itself off when idle

    OK, this has been going on as long as I've had Seven, but it's getting irritating. When my PC hasn't been playing any sound for about 30 secs, the on board audio switches itself off. If I then play some sound, it switches back on and works fine. The trouble is, switching on and off both yield a...

    Windows 7 manual editing of desktop.ini has no effect

    Rebooting has no effect. It is unchecked.

    Windows 7 manual editing of desktop.ini has no effect

    Thanks, you're right on that point, I'll modify the script accordingly. However, changing desktop.ini still has no effect.

    No, it's not that, security settings look fine.

    Windows 7 manual editing of desktop.ini has no effect

    Sorry, I was unclear. The script doesn't work, that's the problem. It modifies the desktop.ini files, but these modifications seem to have no effect. Well actually, the be precise, it doesn't modify the ini files because it gets an access denied error, but that's an unrelated issue that I can...

    Windows 7 manual editing of desktop.ini has no effect

    Thanks for trying, but I'm afraid none of that is helpful to me. Perhaps I should explain what I'm actually trying to achieve, and maybe there's an easier way: I've got a folder containing many (129 at last count) subfolders. What I want is for each of those folders to to have their own unique...

    Windows 7 thief ds on windows 7, microsoft visual c++ runtime error

    Aside from making sure your video and sound drivers are up to date, and checking for any patches for the game itself, you might try installing the Visual C++ Redistributable

    Windows 7 Can't uplevel folders

    Neither can I, since it was the first thing I posted (the 2nd post in this 4 page thread...)

    Windows 7 Can't uplevel folders

    Just follow the steps detailed on the howto geek site. You first need to restart explorer.exe (or just reboot your computer) then enable the toolbar from the "View --> Toolbars" menu in windows explorer. There are detailed instructions and screenshots on the link I posted. I'm afraid I don't...

    Windows 7 Increase ram with System.ini real?

    It looks like bull- um... baloney to me. I might have believed it apart from changing 386Enh to 3000Enh. 386 is the model number of a (very old) Intel processor. It's not a number that represents a quantity of something, so increasing it won't do anything to performance, it'll just be messing...

    Windows 7 Can't uplevel folders

    If you are allergic to keyboard shortcuts, the closest I can find is this: Tabbed Explorer Add-on for Windows Vista (and an Up Button too!) - How-To Geek Sounds like it works, but I've never tried it myself. cybercore: Thanks. I've actually been here a while, but I only turn up when I want...

    Windows 7 Help - Windows 7 will not remember my pointer preferences after each reboot

    Hmm, nice pickle you've got yourself into there! I think you are probably right in your conclusion, although merely disabling a driver rather than uninstalling it shouldn't have had any long term effects. You can download the drivers you need from the Lenovo website, Link Removed - Invalid URL...
