Program windows will rearrange themselves when monitors are in sleep mode - how to stop windows switching screens

iv got 3 screens on one card via display port adapter and a 4th on a second card so as to have a 1 on top of three setup.
the computer itself does not sleep as I have servers running but I have the screens set to sleep after 10 mins.
for the longest time all screens would go to sleep and wake with no issues... in the last few months 2 issues arise.
1. after the monitors go to sleep and in no consistent time 1 monitor wakes enough to show the backlight but no display... wakes ok and sometimes screens dislocated.
and
2. when the monitors come out of power save / sleep mode some of the windows I had open will have been moved to different monitor like the monitors have been unplugged or "detected" numbers have changed and I have seen the number
change a few times as well but not always.
I say some because I have 4 windows open on my left most monitor and 2 of them end up on my right monitor after the glitch.
sometimes the stuff on my center bottom {main screen} will end up on the top single monitor.
no rhyme or reason... some days no issue at all wake up and all is where it should be and all screens slept all night
most often this issue happens at night or after a long sleep session short sleep sessions and it does not happen.
for all the tech info
ATI 5750 and 5770 running in xfire mode w/ 1displayport to DVI / 1 HDMI to DVI / 1 DVI.
and ATI 5450 for the top monitor
windows 7 x64 / 8 core AMD8320 / 16 gig mem.
latest video drivers...
any info?
I'm a tech and even iv been scratching my head for a while on this one
thnx in advance for even reading to see my problem
thnx even more for an answer...lol
2.6 quad core - 3 gig ddr2 - 2x x1550 ati 1 pcie 1pci - 3x 500 gig hd 1 320gig 1 250 gig 1 200 gig

kinda yes i added a second video card as a slave in a crossfire setup
iv had this same setup before and have switched a few times with minor issues that always got solved with driver reload
and for some reason in this final setup this is the only thing still messing with me.
some days wake up and all is correct on screens and all screens are asleep
next day #3 screen on far right will be awake and stuff from #2 middle bottom screen is up on top.
iv tried reloading drivers... iv tried older drivers and beta ...
have tried removing all info related to ati drivers and amd catylist and all that good stuff using their special removal tools...
the event viewer keeps giving this but i don't see a connection
i wish i did but im lost...
The Peer Networking Grouping service depends on the Peer Name Resolution Protocol service which failed to start because of the following error: Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.
and
The Peer Name Resolution Protocol cloud did not start because the creation of the default identity failed with error code: 0x800703e5.
and lastly something about Schannel
The following fatal alert was generated: 43. The internal error state is 252.
everything else is basic stuff
thnx again and crossing fingers

Disconnected from ANY chat program when I go into sleep mode

I am using an airport express connection with road runner. When my computer goes into sleep mode, any chat program I am using is disconnected -- this happens with AIM, iChat, and Netscape Navigator's chat screen. As soon as I move my mouse, or touch the keyboard, and go active, AIM automatically reconnects. Any ideas on how I can remain signed into a chat service when I go into sleep mode?

In sleep mode your mac only keeps the data in the RAM. all other things will be turned off, so that it´s impossible to stay online with the chat applications.

Hi,
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Then Repair the backup Disk... any change?

HP Photosmart 6520 not printing when coming out of "sleep" mode

A few months ago I bought an HP Photosmart Model 6520 e-All In One printer. It has never performed properly and I've tried everything I can think of to fix it.
When in "Sleep" mode (how I wish you could just stop it from "sleeping"!!) it seems to just quit. If I send something to the printer and it is in sleep mode, sometimes it will wake up and after a LONG wait print. However, most of the time it will inform me that the printer can't communicate with the computer. At this point I can sometimes get it to print after completely rebooting the printer, sometimes several times. There have been times that even doing this won't work and I have to delete everything in the que and reboot the printer and hurry to get whatever it was I needed printed back into the que.
There have been times that nothing I did would work. I would end the day and leave things in the printer que. Next day, after turning the printer back on..everything starts to print. Well at this point, whatever I needed printed isn't needed anymore.
Waiting even several minutes for this printer to respond is crazy and waiting hours is not acceptable period!! I have no idea why you are not given the option of keeping the printer from "sleeping" at all. If the option is available, there should be some way to opt out of using it.

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual). This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off/Sleep' is disabled and/or the System Mode Time Out is set to zero (0). Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS). Also check your Printers Properties.
3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
4. If needed and you assigned a static IP address, try using 8.8.8.8 for the Preferred DNS server and 8.8.4.4 at the Alternate DNS server.
5. Verify the printer is on the latest firmware by checking with the HP Support site.
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
1. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
2. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
3. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
4. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
5. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same, they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
6. SSID broadcast must be enabled.
7. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins. Power on router wait 2 mins.
8. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.
Windows 7/8/8.1 Is Network Discovery on or off?

HP Officejet Pro 8625 - Will not acknowledge incoming fax while in sleep mode

HP Officejet Pro 8625 - Will not acknowledge incoming fax while in sleep mode. The sender receives an error "no answer".
When I call the fax number, if I touch the screen it will wake up immediately to receive the fax.
Printing from the computer while in sleep mode works fine.
Please advise. Im missing important faxes and can only set sleep mode to a maximum of 15 mins, so I have an alarm set to touch my machine every 15 mins. sigh...
Thank you,

Hi Willia,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see when your HP Officejet Pro 8625 enters sleep mode, you are unable to receive any incoming faxes. The senders will receive a 'no answer' error. I understand your printer will wake up from sleep mode if you send a print job.
First let's go ahead and make sure the OJ 8625 is plugged directly into a wall outlet, using a power bar or surge protector can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time. To get a better understanding take a look here: Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
Now, I would like you to update your printers Firmware, click on the link below and follow the on screen instructions:
HP Officejet Pro 8620/8625 Firmware Update
Are you now able to receive incoming faxes when the OJ 8625 is in sleep mode? If not, I would like you to contact our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Why does my MAC sometimes crash when coming out of sleep mode?

My mac freezea sometimes when coming out of sleep mode, and occasionally the screen will go black. At other times I will be using the MAC and it will just freeze. The only way to get out of it is to kill power and reboot. It seems to be happening more frequently.
It was suggested that I fix permissions and start in sleep mode. This has helped in the past, and I am going to do it again now. I also recently upgraded to 10.6.8, and after that the crashes were fewer, but now they are increasing again.
I am including a log of the recent crash a few minutes ago.

Okay thanks, but I am a newbie who is not a very tech kind of a person. The only periphals I have are a kodak camera dock, a Canon 310 copier/fax/scanner and a pair of altec speakers. How do I determine if they all have drivers for my MAC? They all seem to work okay, if that is a sign, though the Kodak camera Dock is a bit slow. How also do I determine if they are Apple energy compatible? With each of these peripherals, do I simply disconnect them from my MAC one at a time to see if there improvement?

Need help - wifi gets disconnected when it goes to sleep mode - iOS 6, iPhone 5, WPA Enterprise

Hi, I have read a lot of discussions regarding wifi gets disconnected when it goes to sleep mode on iOS 6, mainly on iPhone 5.
Here is my configuration and it just keeps disconnecting wifi connection once it goes to sleep mode
iOS 6
iPhone 5 white
Purchased on Nov 3
Work wifi config: WPA Enterprise
I tried to manual add the wifi but it did not work. I tried all except for upgrade to iOS 6.0.1. I had a call to Apple Support and the guy told me I could not trust everything i read from here (well, how dare he is!!!). But I did all I could think of, and read from here.
I am with ATT and I do not have a receiption at all at work. I have to turn it to airplane mode, and use the wifi connection. I put my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0 side-by-side to compare. My iPhone with iOS 5.0 DOES NOT disconnect the wifi connection when it goes to sleep mode; but of course, we all know, iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0 does
Any helps would be so much appreaticated. I am considering to return the phone to apple store, and cancel my 2 yrs extended contract with ATT. I might think to get another one once they have the issue fixed. It is no point to have an expensive paper-weight at work while I can't use the celluare nor wifi connection.
Thanks again,

Hi ChrisJ4203
I have tested it at home wifi tonight. My phone and my wife's iphone (both iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0) do the same.
With cellular data on (aka airplane mode OFF) with WIFI ON
Wifi icon replaced by ATT's LTE icon once the phone was waken up from sleep mode; but within 2 secs, the wifi connection got reconnected again.
With cellular data OFF (aka airplane mode ON) with WIFI ON
WIFI icon disappeared from the top bar after both phones were waken up from sleep mode. It took a while to reconnect to the wifi network (more than 10 seconds).
On a separate note, after i rebooted my phone, i can see it does "searching" the ATT's signal, then it shows "No Service", then next second, it shows ATT with full bars and LTE icon.
My question is, i have never noticed the "No Service" showing up from my iPhone 4. The "No Service" shows up on my wife's phone too. When I first got her phone and was doing the installation, I had noticed the cell signal dropped from full bars to no service, then within few seconds, it went back up. I have not had time to test on her phone again, but it is something I will be monitoring for. I wonder if anyone has similar experience like this.
anyhow, any feedback on how to fix the wifi got disconnected while in sleep mode would be very helpful.
thanks,

OSX 10.9.1 macbook pro 13 retina - wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse

Hello,
My config is OSX 10.9.1 new macbook pro 13 retina (2014).
The wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse.
It was not the case before I bought the BT mouse.
Is this problem between Wifi and bluetooth coming from the OS?
Is there a fix already available or scheduled?
Thanks

Hello alexandrefromfrance
Check the Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly section for steps on what to do when your MacBook Pro does not connect after waking from sleep. I have also quoted the section on troubleshooting the issue as well.

Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".  Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
Restart your computer.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.

Since yesterday I am facing problem,when it goes in sleep mode it actually turn off and does not come up after pressing start button but every time I have to hard reset it to turn it on .It is 4 gen running on 4.3.3.Please help

so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

E9220y hangs when coming out of sleep mode

My new HP Elite e9220y hangs when coming out of sleep mode- When I 'touch a key' or move mouse, power switch on computer turns from yellow to blue, but monitor remains black. Have to force off, and restart. Adjusted power management to 'never' sleep but I was hoping for a more elegant solution.

Southmike, I'm glad I could help you out. When I tried using the settings you stated, it didn't help me resume from standby. However, I did finally get standby to work by first resetting the BIOS to default, and then setting the Power Management to:
ACPI Standby: S3
Call VGA BIOS (no idea what this is): Enable
USB Wakeup: Enable
Power Management/APM: Disable
And, I also disabled a few other things I dont use like onboard Audio and RAID and voila, now WinXP can go into standby and resume from it piece of cake.
