Settings not staying set ?

I am having problems with my time/date, and screen resolution settings.
With the screen settings it is a case of me setting my two displays to "Extend" but upon re-boot they are set at "Duplicate" which looks awful and is of no use to me anyway
I set them to what I want and then when I restart my machine it goes all wonky again and I have to re-set it all. Also, sometimes, my machine will not to let me get to Google, and gives me a security error warning instead. A few minutes later it will let me access Google again. This happens with a couple of other sites too, but most of the internet is OK.

Also, when I arrange the icons on my desktop, they are all messed up again after I restart ?

Any ideas ?

Fred mate try running these for starters if you have not done so already.

ICit2lol gave you a good start, with all those changes its best to make sure the basics are okay.

As far as the desktop icons, right click on your desktop and click on view at the top. Make sure Align icons to grid is checked, and Auto arrange is not.

Sounds a good plan Fred let us know how you go.

Just one thing you say the Google is topped by a security warning and that you have Windows Security Essentials by that I think you mean Microsoft Security Essentials. Now if that is the case maybe you might try uninstalling it and reinstalling (maybe a glitch) or use another freebie.
There are plenty see this Probably the Best Free Security List in the World section 2

Your welcome,

I had thought of the CMOS battery when you mentioned the time/date, but there seemed to be too many other things going on to be just that.

A reinstall of Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) may help the stop the warnings, but I found this about MSE, google and chrome v29 users: MSE videos cause unsafe script warning and do not work when HTTP sources are played on HTTPS pages

Does this warning happen when using chrome, how about your other browsers? Is your chrome browser up to date?

There are settings in the BIOS, what you need to do is to tap the proper key on the keyboard during startup in order to get to it.

On my machine I have to tap the Delete key, yours may be that or the F8 key some machines use a combination of keys, does your manual say anything about which key allows you to enter the BIOS?.

I know the startup screen goes by very fast, but most machines will tell you at the very beginning what key to press, see if you can spot it, it may take several restarts in order to see it.

I found this:

Fujitsu - LifeBook, Esprimo, Amilo, Tablet, DeskPower

• Press F2 once the Fujitsu logo appears.

Source: BIOS Access Keys for Computer Systems (Lenovo, Sony, HP, Dell, etc.)

Even though I found F2 it could still be something different, I did find it could also be the delete key on another site. Try to check the beginning of the startup to confirm.

When you do get in, the screen you want is usually the first one on the list, look for date and time at the top. It should be automatically advancing.

And, acquaint yourself on how to navigate the BIOS the instructions are usually at the bottom of the screen.

It is the DEL key for entering the BIOS Entering Setup - Msi MS-7504 User Manual [Page 30]
plus you can access the whole manual by just clicking on previous and later pages here.

If you should need it this is the BIOS update Fujitsu Technical Support pages from Fujitsu Fujitsu Continental Europe, Middle East, Africa & India


hoe the BIOS is set is from this page on for a bit MSi MS-7504 User Manual (Page 31 of 50)

Hope this might help a bit although as with anything to do with changing BIOS is not to be taken lightly.
