N200 the computer isn't logging off

My computer has major shutdown problems. When I try and shut it down the logging off screen just stays forever or until I shut it down manuali (press the power button for 5 sec) Then it has problems re-booting, but after several tries it opens Vista. But then it chokes on the sidebar and I always have to shut that program down and I can't even run task manager. 
I've tried to run it in safe mode but that doesn't work. 
Im running Vista Ultimate on a Lenovo N200.I have service pack 1.
Can anyone help, please.
regards,
T

do you think it will start happening again and I will have to get another battery?
Yes, it will happen again. The swelling of the battery indicates that it is at the end of its useful life. It may be ok right now, but when it runs hot again it will swell again and put pressure on the underside of the track pad, shortening some circuits and causing this weird behavior of track pad and keyboard.
It may happen tomorrow or a few week from now, depending on how degraded the battery already is. The intervals will get shorter as the problem progresses. Replacing the battery as early as possible is highly recommended because damaged batteries can cause fires and even explode.
The swelling of the battery is a common occurrence in MacBooks that are run off the power adapter for most of the time, without regularly calibrating the battery. Here's the procedure: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490

  • The CRT won't come on and the computer won't turn off. ???

    Hi all,
    I just got another free Rev. A iMac CRT today - it was in an old, abandoned school and the people who were moving everything out of the school thought it was dead, so they gave it to me. I tried starting it up, and it wouldn't turn on. When I took off the back to see if it had any good parts in it, it turned out everything was unplugged in the back, so I plugged it all back it. It worked great, I was deleting the school's files and apps so I could sell it, until a few minutes ago when I tried to wake it up from sleep. The display just wouldn't come on. I though it just wasn't waking up. I tried typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse, and I finally pressed the power button on the keyboard, when I heard the normal beep it makes when you press the power button on the keyboard and it gives you the dialogue box "Do you wanna turn it off, restart it, etc?" I thought, "this is weird, why isn't the display on?" So I pressed the enter key, figuring that Turn Off was the option selected and that the display would come on when I turned it back on. Sure nuff, the computer turned off. I waited a few seconds and turned it back on. The display still wouldn't come on. I waited a few minutes til I was sure it was all the way booted up. It won't respond to the keyboard, the mouse, repeated jabs in the reset button on the side, or the power buttons on both the unit and the keyboard. I held down the power button for an entire minute and the display won't turn on and the computer won't turn off.
    This is totally bizzare. Does anyone know how to a) turn on the display or b) turn off the computer? It's looking like I'm going to have to unplug it and try again later.
    By the way, it's running 9.2.2, like the one in my signature line.

    I finally pulled the plug and restarted and it's working fine now. Does anyone know what happened? I think it could've had something to do with the PRAM battery; every time I've started it up it's said the date is January 1956 and the time is 9:55. hmmm...
    Edit: I just realized that in addition to the date being 1956, the hard drive was completely randomly renamed to "k hortdpc." ***???
    Another edit: I just realized I probably renamed the hard drive in my frantic random clicking and typing - I probably accidentally clicked the hard drive name and randomly typed a new name in my attempts to wake up the computer. oops

  • I have music in my iTunes library that won't transfer to my iPod.  I restored the iPod, I get an message stating 29 things can't be copied because the computer isn't authorized.  I deauthorized and reauthorized the computer but they still don't copy

    I recently purchased some music.  Then I realized that I hadn't heard some other music for a long time.  I checked the iPod and the music isn't there.  On my PC in the iTunes library it is there but it won't copy to the iPod.  I went to my local Apple store and talked to a genius.  No luck.  He restored the iPod, we deauthorized my computer.  When I got home I reauthorized the computer and again restored the iPod.  29 things can't be copied to the iPod because it says the computer isn't authorized.  The computer is authorized.   
    At one time I purchased music through iTunes but used my AOL sign in, instead of my Apple ID.  I think this is where the problem is.
    Does anybody know how I can get my purchased music back on my iPod?

  • OpenDocument ReportPart (The session has been logged off or has expired)

    Hello,
    We are using OpenDocument-Links to embed 3 Report Parts in a single HTML site of the company.
    It works normally the first time, but after refreshing the site we get the error „An error occurred: Unable to reconnect to the CMS AbC. The session has been logged off or has expired. (FWM 01002)”.
    I think the problem is that 3 user sessions are opened at the same time, but should this be a problem?
    We have configured Windows SSO btw., so no login is needed.
    Any ideas? thanks!

    We discovered when we are using Google Chrome, where SSO is not supported, it works always.
    Any ideas what yould be the problem here with IE and SSO? We are using an iFrame for each report part. When we open the 3 report parts in 3 different browser windows it works, but not when we embed the report parts as iframes in a single html site.

  • I inserted my new 8gb 4x4 RAM but when i boot up the computer and choose this computer it only says that i have 4gb ram inserted and the computer isn't faster then with 2gb!? please help me! I have a MBP from 2009

    I ordered my RAM 8GB from OWC (other world computing) and when i inserted the ram and booted up my computer it says that i only have inserted 4gb ram and the computer isn't faster than it was with 2gb!!! please help me... I've got a MacBook Pro (mid 2009)

    Improperly seating memory is the curse of everyone, even experts.  No one wants to "break" the memory or the slot by pushing too hard.
    So, try again.  Push maybe *just a twinge* harder to seat the memory (just a twinge).
    As to speed ... memory mainly lets you keep more things active concurrently.  Unless you were severely overtaxing your old memory and causing huge "Page Out" counts, only faster HD makes huge speed increases.

  • Bought a new computer, and new ipod 160 GB. I went to sync all my music and it's telling me that the computer isn't authorized. I authorize it and it still won't let me syn these songs

    Bought a new computer, and new ipod 160 GB. I went to sync all my music and it's telling me that the computer isn't authorized. I authorize it, by going to store and authorize this computer, and it still won't let me sync these songs

    Think you got to reboot or relaunch iTunes after the Authorization.
    but here is the Apple support Article on Authorization and sync to iPod

  • Computer hangs on log-off

    When I log off, the computer hangs on the splash scree--the screen picture that is behind the log on dialogue box-- and needs to be manually shut down. The box to log back in does not appear.

    Hi William,
    my PBG4 shows similar behaviour at about half of my logg-offs / shut down / restart.
    I have tried nearly every kind of diagnosis and repair tools (RAM, HD, file system, rights, extensions, different accounts ...) with no result. I doubt if log files would provide useful information after a forced power down because cached information may not have been flushed to disk and log files not been closed properly.
    I have been following similar discussions from time to time but never found a durable solution.
    The only hint I picked up was the following workaround:
    Have the dock showing up while logging off.
    (set permanently visible in dock preferences or unhide dock by mouse just before confirming log-off via return key)
    I know it sounds strange - but it works for me!
    Since I follow this advice (and don't fail to invoke the dock) there are NO more hangings during log-off / shut down / restart.
    The root cause must be something about a hanging process but I have no knowledge about BSD and other things behind the Mac OS X Aqua interface.
    Sorry, it's no real solution, only a workaround but could you try if this also helps on your computer?

  • Each time I try to download a file document (ie. PDF), foxfire begins to open multiple new tabs, and wont quit. it also never really opens the file , and I can't stop the action unless I log off.

    I am unable to download any files without multiple new tabs opening at the top of my screen. I am unable to identify what the tabs are for and can't stop the process without logging off Foxfire completely. FoxFire has also corrupted other files and made them impossible to download (saved files)

    Could you check your PDF viewer preference and try changing it to a different viewer to see whether that helps? This article describes how to access that setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
    Unfortunately, the settings file that stores those application handling preferences sometimes contains crossed up settings or settings which Firefox cannot actually implement. In that case, you generally need to rename or remove that file and let Firefox rebuild it. The steps for that are in this article: [[Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link]] -- skip to the section "Reset actions for all content types".

  • My ipod nano is fully charged (I believe) but every time i disconnect from the computer it turns itself off

    My ipod nano is fully charged (I believe) but every time i disconnect from the computer the screen just shuts down and nothing happens. Occasionally it might work but the battery is already as low as it can go and turns it self off. What should i do?

    So the iPod only powers on when connected to an external power source such as a USB port on your PC or when connected to a wall charger?  If so, that is a very good indication that your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.
    Apple can swap it out for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair service for a bit less.

  • Want to know the number of user logged off

    Hi
    Using Mii server, how to check how many user where logged off.
    Regards
    Rizvi

    Hi,
    You need to write customized java code in your development. Set the session of the user logged in and store. And get these details from the JSP page.
    Also in MII logs you can find these details.
    http://localhost/Lighthammer/Illuminator?service=SystemInfo&Mode=SessionStats
    Using this you have to play around the code.
