| 273283 | 2004-09-17 16:46:00 | When I shut down my desktop last night I got a popup saying that "Power Meter is running, do you want to end it?" or words to that effect. I am using XP Home and the power meter in Control Panel is not enabled. What is up? I have run Spybot S&D and Adaware. Windows Search; couldn't find it. Task manager doesn't show it as either a program or a process and it doesn't seem to be part of Norton SystemWorks. My computer is slowing down and I would like to get rid of anything that is unnecessary. How can I do that? Vince ?:| |

| 273284 | 2004-09-17 21:31:00 | try this go to control pane Power options/Advanced and look at the power buttons . when i press the power button what is it set too ie "shutdown" or "ask me what to do" maybe that is why the power meter is showing on shutdown. Also try these Online Virus and spyware scanners Panda Active Scan -- here (www.pandasoftware.com) Housecall -- here (www.trendmicro.com) Trojan scans here (www.anti-trojan.net) Spyware scanhere (www.windowsecurity.com) just to be on the safe side. hth |
