How to prevent wake timers ONLY when lid is in closed state

$

0
I have backups set to wake my laptop when it is plugged in. However, sometimes I sleep my machine even when plugged in by closing the lid. In that situation, I do not want the wake timers to wake it, because it is likely to get too hot, because the room is warm. I do not see any way to have wake timers enabled, yet not have them wake the computer when the lid is closed. Anyone know if...

I got tired of it and rolled back to win 7 pro 64bit (an option in win10 control panel - windows automatically restore an image of the old windows) and still got all kind of BSOD every few minutes or hours in different occasions. I...

I have lost a lot of weight and wanted to show it. I want to combine a Before Picture and an After Picture side by side. I have two JPG files. Is there anyway to digitally combine them into one file? I know I can put the two photos side by side and scan them, but I was just curious if it is possible to do the whole thing by combining two files?

I have absolutely no idea what's been going on. I built this PC last week, and when I come back home Windows tells me it recovered from an error. I checked what the issue might be (I'm a BSOD noob, so please forgive me here if i'm wrong). The issue seems to be a file called "Hal.dll". I read in a post on another website that this error is a little different from the rest, so I need some help...

I bought an OEM Win 7 Ultimate disk from NewEgg in 2014, and am now running it in a dual-boot configuration on an SSD with Linux Mint. I had hoped to clone this SSD, but Clonezilla didn't work, and I'm not confident that Acronis Disk Image would work, either. If I don't find a satisfactory disk cloning solution, I might prepare to reinstall both OSs and a lot of software it the SSD goes...

My Windows 7 pro laptop contains a user account folder that is not a user in the ordinary sense -- there is no login for that user. Its name is /stan_2/ and is a sub-folder to /Users/. My normal user name is stan, but I have the folders /stan/ and /stan_2/. Explorer says /stan/ was created 12/07/09, /stan_2/ was created 09/05/14. The /stan_2/ folder contains only eight NTUSER.DAT files with...

I can't set my default recording device. Image: https://i.gyazo.com/e25fbebf18be26c82081d429539f7c61.png I press the Set Default button, and nothing happens. I remember seeing another thread here where Skype was causing this, but I need to be sure, because I'm trying to install a new microphone for use with Skype.

CMOS Battery & Internet Time Sync (and USB HDD): Are they related?

So I'm absolutely sure I have an almost dead CMOS battery, as I frequently get the error "CMOS Date/Time Not Set, F1 to load default values, F2 to run Setup" before the Boot Manager is displayed, although this isn't always. As a result inside Windows, I've seen tray icons missing and errors while syncing with the Windows Time server. The error doesn't specify a reason, it simply says it cannot...

I probably have some setting checked, but don't know which one it is. Whenever I try to enter text in my document, using Word 2002, a large "box" appears, as though it is expecting me to insert something like a picture or whatever. If I create a new document, everything works fine, so that's why I'm sure that I've simply enabled some setting that needs to be unchecked. And while I'm at it, I...
