Screen dims when plugged into charger

2 New Member
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520. Last week my screen started randomly dimming when I plugged it into the charger. When I unplug it, it goes bright again.

I have tried going into the control panel and changing the settings but it has not helped.

Any suggestions?

Did you look at the Energy Settings? These things are handled there :-)

I have an ASP.NET application set up on my local hard drive with all pages, dlls, and SQL server on local machine. However, I have discovered that if I reboot my machine without a network cable plugged in, and then try to run the application, I get the following: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Is there an event or notification that my application can receive when a USB device (or other) is plugged in? I have looked at WMI as this appears to be the right area but cannot see how to get notification when this particular event occurs. The same goes for removal as well. TIA Charles

Hi everybody, I got the code for dimming a menu item from this group after looking for it for a long time thanks to those who share their experiences with the others :) The problem I'm facing is that it dims the wrong menu item!! Example, if I write "DoCmd.SetMenuItem 0, 2, , acMenuGray", it dims the 3rd command in the 2nd menu!! It's driving me crazy!

Hi, I'm looking for a way of checking whether a specific USB device (a webcam) is plugged in. I have the Vendor and Product ID numbers for the device. I found an article (http://www.vsj.co.uk/articles/display.asp?id=600) with code sample that does the trick for human input devices (mouse, keyboard, ...) but am struggling for my webcam.

Hi guys I'm doing some school work and created a box which does nothing but stream videos on a network. This box runs Fedora 5 with gnome desktop manager. Because all the box is doing is playing video there is no activity (there is no keyboard or mouse plugged in). Is there any way to disable the power mode and stop the screen saver. I need to monitor to stay on. Thanks jjamesis

I am looking into building a C# app that will let the user enter information which will then be formatted and displayed on a separate screen. I guess I could either show the formatted data in a new windows form or in a web browser. The system will be set up on a lap top so the user will be viewing the lap top screen for data entry, but the second window will be shown on a large tv screen. My question is - is there any way to make sure...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
