Lookout prevents laptop from hibernating

I installed Lookout 6 on my laptop and since then I have been unable to go into hibernate or standby mode. My laptop just freezes up when displaying the "preparing to hibernate" message and I have to do a hard reset. When I uninstalled Lookout hibernate and standby started working again. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas what the cause is?

RJC,
The problem that you are experiencing is most likely related to Lookout's Keyboard Filter. Lookout includes a Keyboard Filter that allows it to filter out certain keystrokes that the programmer doesn't want the operator to be able to use (like Ctrl + Alt + Del, for example). This program runs in the background of your computer when installed, and is most likely causing the system hangs that you are experiencing.
To remedy this, the simplest thing that you can do is to uninstall the filter in Lookout. To do this, go into Add and Remove Programs, choose to "Modify" your installation of Lookout, and de-select the "NI Keyboard Filter Driver." This should take care of the problem that you are experiencing.
Please post back if you have any questions.

  • AMD driver is preventing laptop from waking up from sleep and very slow boot.

    Laptop: Pavilion 15-n003tx
    OS:win 8.1(64-bit)
    Product number:E6G12PA
    After installing the 14.4 driver for AMD Radeon Mobility HD 8670m graphic card,my laptop takes  around 93 seconds to boot.
    Also,the laptop does not wake up from sleep after closing the lid.I have tried various settings but none seemed to help,even if I change sleep to Never for every setting.
    The only way to avoid this is by uninstalling the catalyst driver,then everything works just fine.I have given the laptop to the service center,but they were unable to resolve the issue.Any suggestions?

    Hey Vaibhav15, 
    I spent some time researching the video dxgkrnl fatal_error error and I'm seeing the majority of people have only been able to fix this with a system restore to before the issue started, or a full system recovery (reinstalling Windows).
    Try the restore first as it will not delete your personal files. If that doesn't work you will need to backup and attempt the recovery. This should fix the BSOD error on startup.
    For sleep mode, go into the Power Options of the notebook and make sure the notebook is set to sleep when the lid is closed: (Also, does it sleep when you tell it to sleep from the Charms Bar?)
    Windows Key + X.
    Power Options.
    Click Choose what happens when the lid is closed.
    Change the dropdown to make sure the notebook is set to go to sleep and not just turn off the display.
    Let me know if that helps!

  • Resuming from hibernation takes long long time

    Hey:
    I have installing the database in my laptop. Now when I resume the laptop from hibernation, in the taskmanager I see the task oracle.exe that is making something (memory usage) for three or four minutes until it stops. It did not happened with other versions of oracle database.
    I was thinking in installing this free version in several laptops, but with these times in resuming I think it is not a good election.
    Somebody may tell me what is making oracle.exe during resuming from hibernation?
    Is it posible to avoid this behavior?

    Be careful with that terminology, it only applies to the Windows Operating System with respect to 32-bit and 64-bit processors.  There is no such thing as LabVIEW x64, or LabVIEW x86.  The property terminology is LabVIEW 32-bit (the most common one, most people use, even on 64-bit OS's since it is the most fully supported), and LabVIEW 64-bit (not commonly used, doesn't have full support of all add-on modules and toolkits, and is mainly only used by people who need LabVIEW to analyze very large datasets.)

Is there a way to get them off without deleting each one? Also how do i prevent this from happening again? can someone direct me to some info on multiple phones on one itunes i am lost.

    Hey there 79usma79!
    I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
    iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
    This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • My iTunes wont close and is preventing my laptop from shutting down

    I plugged out my iPod touch when iTunes was asking me whether I wanted an update or not, and now iTunes wont close and has frozen, preventing my laptop from shutting down. I have intel Celeron inside and Windows 7.

    Mail is open but it is frozen, being this the reason why you cannot open the Mail window. Press Alt, Command and Esc keys or go to  > Force Quit, select Mail and force quit it. Finally, you will be able to turn off or restart the MacBook

  • I need help in resolving a problem that prevents me from accessing the iTunes store.  Message reads " iTunes cannot contact the iTunes store" and also says that my laptop is no longer authorized to access my account.  Help!

    I need help in resolving a problem that prevents me from accessing the iTunes store.  Message reads " iTunes cannot contact the iTunes store" and also says that my laptop is no longer authorized to access my account.  Help!

    Go up to the top of your screen on iTunes and click on 'Store'.  Then go down to 'Authorize This Computer'.  That should cover part of it unless you've already authorized a bunch of other computers to use your account.  If that's the case, you'll have to go to one of those computers and click the button just below it to 'deauthorize your account' from that computer.  If you're not able to access the store, check your internet connection to make sure you are connected.  Hope this helps.. good luck!

  • Laptop is not coming out from hibernating

    regardings,my laptop is not coming out from hibernation. it is showing that is is going to hibernate but stuck there.it is showing that it is working. i wait for an hour but result is tha same. then i tried to restart but same result. can u help me in this metter 

    It's hard to say what the problem is. One recomendation would be to drop usage of the database connectivity toolkit as it adds a lot of complexity and limits your options for troubleshooting problems. There is an alternative here. Read the discussion and download the drivers...
    Also, what kind of database are you connecting to?

    First thing to (un)check:
    When you shutdown/restart, there's a dialog box which confirms your request. In that box is a little checkbox which you should uncheck.

  • T400 Stuck at 800MHz after resume from Hibernation

    This evening, my T400's processor speed was stuck at 800MHz after resuming from hibernation. Machine was plugged in. Power manager processor speed settings were not set to lowest performance. Even running processes that put the CPU at 100%, the machine stayed clocked at 800MHz. All drivers, BIOS, etc. are updated to the most recent version.
    Eventually, I shut down the machine, and then started it back up. Everything was fine.
    Does anyone have any suggestions to prevent this from happening again?

    Hello everyone, I observed a new correlation: last time when my touchpad was recognized as "PS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" (instead of "PS/2 Generic Mouse") happend *after resuming from hibernation*, and also with the concomitant phenomenon of having no sound after resuming. (Sorry for the oversophisticated language, I have just had a philosophy of mind exam ) After this I hibernated the laptop again and resumed, and I *had* sound, but had the touchpad recognized as "PS/2 Generic Mouse", so it seems that I am lucky with the touchpad just when I am unlucky with sound. And, as far as I remember, the earlier occasions when I was lucky with the touchpad were also after resuming from hibernation. So it seems that something else than psmouse sometimes fails to restart after the hibernation, and this is what causes psmouse to work as expected! I am not an expert in kernel, so could someone help me, what to look for? An obvious guess would be sound-related modules, but it would be really weird if they had anything to do with the touchpad, so for now I don't start to learn how sound is handled in Linux (it looks like a lot to learn...)

  • My macbook shuts off randomly, how do I know what's causing this and prevent it from happening again?

    My macbook shuts off and I kept a journal for it because mine's got complications.
    July 1, 2014 (Tuesday)
    I spilled a cup of choclate milk on my keyboard, it was soaked! But my battery was drained so I know nothing had short out. So I turned it over and never tried to turn it on.
    July 2
    I went to the nearest apple center and asked them to clean it for me. (I knew it wasn't a good idea to clean it myself) They put it in a plastic bag but I asked them to open it as soon as possible so I know what parts are affected. They told me they'd take a picture of the inside for me and go back after an hour. Milk was still inside everywhere so I asked them to take it in.
    July 8
    I called to get an update on my mac and they said it wasn't economically practical to repair it because they recommended a full system replacement. I got depressed and accepted my Mac's fate. But what's annoying is I put my mac in on July 2 and they only tried to clean it in July 5 which makes me think that was the reason my mac was irreparable.
    July 9
    I took my mac and tried to find another opinion but I showed the diagnostics from the apple store and they said they couldn't fix it. My parents were getting ready to buy a new one.
    July 13
    I realized that my mac didn't have charge when milk spilled on it so I tried to charge it and BOOM IT OPENED. They keyboards were sticky and it takes a moment before my computer reacts to the trackpad but it works! Even all the keys works! But it doesn't charge.
    After lunch, it was workingp perfectly and my batteries were at 30% charge! I was really happy!
    (in the interval my mac works perfectly, it stays for normal 7 hours when battery is charged fully)
    However at July 19
    There was no electricity for four days (A typhoon came in the Philippines) and my battery is about 7% so I went to the public market to get it charge while I wait for electricity. I charged it for about 3 hours and sideways because it was inside my backpack while it charged so noone will notice it. When I got home and opened my laptop, it shut off randomly after my desktop appeared after start up. So I was sad.
    July 20
    I found a solution online to use the option-shift-power button my mac opened and worked normally!
    July 21
    My computer was normal in the morning then in the afternoon it shut off again after I waked it up from sleep. Tried option-shift for about 3-5 times before it worked with varying intervals from 5-20 minutes each
    July 22
    I get nervous when I use it but it worked perfectly I was even able to edit with Final-cut pro and HD clips.
    Wednesday
    Worked perfectly in the morning but in the afternoon, after waking it up from sleep it won't turn on tried the option-shift then I tried resetting the SMC for about three times (my mac is a unibody) but it didn't turn on the whole evening.
    Today Thursday morning July 24
    I tried to reset SMC first thing in the morning after the thing won't turn on. After about an hour, I tried to turn my mac on normally and it opened. So what I did is to back up all my files. (It took the whole afternoon) and at night I ran diagnostics (D during start up) and no threats were found
    Haven't been experiencing the trouble, as of the moment I'm writing this Jul 25, Friday (12:13 AM) HK time Philippines.
    So what I'm asking here is what do I do to make sure this doesn't occur anymore. I probably written a very detailed log. So what else (diagnostics and other) should I do to prevent this from happening again. School starts in August and I will need my laptop to work perfectly to let me go through college with less burden. Thank you and I hope you reply. Any more questions about details on my Mac will be answered

  • When I 'Tab Groups,' the search function immediately pops up (and it won't go away) every time, preventing me from accessing my grouped tabs. How can I prevent this from happening?

    Using Firefox 5.0 with Windows 7 on a laptop, whenever I click the 'Group Tabs' icon to the right of my tabs, the search function immediately comes up over my grouped tabs, preventing me from using any of them. When the search function comes up, the screen goes semi-dark and the search bar appears - any text I type at this time is entered into the search bar (the search function works normally). If I click any section of the screen at this time the search function disappears and the screen regains color - but only for a fraction of a second, and then the search function comes up again, along with the darkened screen. Hitting 'escape' or 'backspace' produces the same effect. Is there any way to disable this unceasing search function?

    This is something you need to report via the Feedback button (or use the link on the Help menu).
    Firefox 5.0 is still in BETA and not slated for release until June 21.
    Reinstall the full version of the current release which is v4.0.1, download link at the top of this forum.

  • I have downloaded Firefox 4.0 several times and after a short amount of time (days) it reverts back to 3.6.16. Why does it happen and how do I prevent it from happening again?

    The Firefox 4.0 on my laptop reverts back to 3.6.16. This has happened several times. Why does this happen and/or how do I prevent it from happening again?

    Thanks for the link. I just downgraded to the absolute shtfest that's 4.0. I WAS just fuming about how gawdawful this "new" version is, but after wasting so much time trying to sort thru all the issues caused by this 4.0 downgrade (past updates have always been seamless and troublefree - not so for this shtfest!) I'm flat-out RAGING!!! Fortunately the laptop still has 3.6.xx running - it's the LAST version of Firefox it will EVER see. I switched to Firefox so many years ago to get away from the insanity and frustration of Explorer - if this 4.0 crapshoot is the "future" of Firefox, then the incompetent nimrods responsible for it know where they can ram it. I'm starting the search for a new browser now - so long Firefox, it's been fantastic while it lasted, but you've gone and screwed the pooch, you've ruined a superb browser!
    I'll attempt a reload of 3.6.xx on the desk machine, and if successful I'll run it till it drops, or I find a suitable replacement browser, but 4.0 won't be coming back - GOOD RIDDANCE!!!

  • HT204370 I downloaded an HD movie onto my laptop from i-tunes.  It plays fine on my laptop, but when I plug in my HD projector, the movie quits.  When I unplug the projector, the movie starts again. I have never had a problem with projecting an itunes mov

    I downloaded an HD movie onto my laptop from i-tunes.  It plays fine on my laptop, but when I plug in my HD projector, the movie quits.  When I unplug the projector, the movie starts again. I have never had a problem with projecting an itunes movie before this. Someone told me that i-tunes changed something so that movies can no longer be projected.  We have a home theatre and have watched movies this way quite regularly, so it would be a drag if Apple will prevent us from doing this in the future. 

    I don’t know about projection, but I’m unable to watch HD content in iTunes because my Apple 30-inch Cinema Display is not HDCP-compliant (which is part of an HD copy-protection scheme).
    The other movies you’ve projected, were they HD as well? If not, it could be the same problem: your projector is not HDCP-compliant.

  • How do I prevent firefox from loading page when I type in first few letters?

    I am giving my laptop to my daughter. I deleted history and emptied cache. Yet if she were to type the letter 'c', an adult site I have visited pops up - WITH MY USERNAME AND PASSWORD ALREADY TYPED IN! This gives her full access to my adult activity on the site.
    How do I prevent this from happening? I want to totally remove this site from firefox's 'memory', especially the username and password.

    To log you out of all websites your gonna want to clear the cookies:
    * Firefox in top left corner > Options > Privacy > Show Cookies >Remove all Cookies
    I would also recommend resetting Firefox if you are no longer gonna use it yourself :
    * Firefox in top left corner>Help>Troubleshooting Information>Reset Firefox
    See here for more information:
