Just loaded XP Pro a few months back. Everything has
been working well, but now my Power Options don't want to
work.

I select a power setting and then select Save As... The
only scheme I have is Home/Office Desk. I click OK but
get the message, "Indicates two revision levels are
incompatible".

So I go back to Save As... and enter a new name (like
Laptop). It seems to save the info, but when I call
Power Options back up, everything is reset and Laptop is
no where to be found.

HELP

Hi

For shutdown/restart problems, please have a look at MVP Jim Eshelman's web
site:

I have a Viao laptop. I have tried to change the power
options to fit my needs but every time after I turn the
computer off when I power up again it returns to the
default settings. The default settings may fit someone
elses needs but I would prefer to customize the settings
to meet my needs. How can I permanently change the
settings.

Thanks,

Stan

You need to have administrator rights to change power options. In any case,
if the computer belongs to a domain, the group policies in effect may reset
any changes you try to make.

In addition to Rocky's suggestions, Sony supplies its own Power Panel on
many laptops which can, AIRC, overide or interfere with the XP Power
Options. Access the Sony Power Panel from the executable PcfMgr.exe,
located in C:\Program Files\PowerPanel\Program\PcfMgr.exe, at least on
my Vaio.

>Did you have an onboard vidio card?If you did you need

to go into your BIOS and turn it off so the effects will
work on your new card.Also you may want to shut the other
one off in the device manager by.....start---right click
on my computer---properties---hardware tab---device
manager---under display adapters + Right click on your
old video card and disable it.
