I have a Sony RB VGC-RB34G Desk Top with XP on it. I keep being loged off of
AOL because my system goes into suspend mode. I tried to change my power
options, but couldn't. When I go into power options in the control panel, I
have no choices under the drop down menu. From what I have read there should
be some?
I have been told to change my option to read "never", but there is no such
choice.
What am I doing wrong?
Please Help
Thank you

First off, go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools ->
System
Restore and create a restore point before following the procedure outlined
below.

Now, go to Start -> Run and enter regedit.exe in the Open box. Click OK.
In the Registry Editor, click on the + signs in the left hand pane to
navigate
to the following location.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies

Under this registry key you should see 6 subkeys numbered 0 through 5. These
represent the default power schemes that come with XP. Any subkeys numbered
6 or
more represent power schemes created by the user. If you find any numbered 6
or
more, right click on each one and select Delete from the menu. In the end
you
should only have the subkeys numbered 0 to 5 remaining under the
PowerPolicies
registry key.

Do the same for this registry key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Controls
Folder\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies

If it turns out that this doesn't help with your problem, download and run
this
registry fix.
