Hi everyone, I am not sure how this happened, but it did anyway. During my
problem with system restore, I created my own power scheme called test. I
have noticed that I am missing some power schemes now when I try to access
them using the power options choice on control panel. I am missing "always
on" "presentation" "minimal power management" and "max battery".

I don't know why they don't appear in the drop down menu under power schemes
as "home/office" and "portable/laptop" and my "test" schemes are there.

I have found these schemes exist in my registry in several locations by
typing "powercfg" in the registry editor.

Hopefully someone will know how to restore them. Is there an *.inf file to
right click to reinstall? I found a bunch, just not sure which one it might
be. Thanks for any help.

You might want to download and run the registry fix on line
204, left hand column, Restore Power Schemes/Configurations:

Hopefully, that will correct the problem.

Thank you for the link. That is a great site, just so many links, makes me
dizzy. The script worked, and power is back to normal. Thanks.

Glad to hear you've got that problem fixed.

You might want to add that site to your favorites. The next
time Windows starts acting cranky, there's a pretty good
possibility that Kelly's got the solution.
