| 76961 | 2002-09-06 06:12:00 | Can anyone tell me how to make my Power Management scheme function properly when the computer is left on but not in use. I am using Home/Office Desk Power Scheme and if I change the settings and the Scheme then Click "Apply" and "OK" the new settings will function but ONCE only. The power management scheme will then not operate after the first automatic shut down. I am using W98SE. | willbry (1555) | ||
| 76962 | 2002-09-06 06:17:00 | I think you need to save the scheme aswell as hitting apply to get it to stick. | bmason (508) | ||
| 76963 | 2002-09-06 06:20:00 | Nah, save scheme is used to save a NEW one, not to save changes to a current scheme. It shouldn't make any difference. I had this problem a while back - I can't remember what Windows it was with though :) but I just had to live with it until the next format/install, and then it was fine. Mike. |

| 76964 | 2002-09-06 06:35:00 | Yes, you can use Save Scheme to overwrite the pre-installed ones, done so here cos I can't stand waiting for the hard drive to spin back up. | antmannz (28) | ||
| 76965 | 2002-09-06 06:52:00 | Yeah, I had similar probelms with Power Management in XP. If I saveda new scheme, that was fine. If I then deleted the standard ones, leaving only my custom ones, on the next restart only Power Management was disables with the option of creating new schemes disabled, and all my custom ones AND the defaults ones gone. IE NO Power Management. Weird - reinstalled to fix. G P |

| 76966 | 2002-09-06 08:08:00 | I just change the default settings, don't click on save, and leave it as it is and it works fine. I added a new option for when I need the system to stay on while I'm away for a long time and saved that, but kept the other settings. But not clicking save on the default Home or whatever setting still keeps it there. Mike. |

| 76967 | 2002-09-06 08:49:00 | That's what I do now. It would have been nice to remove the surplus entries for tidiness. G P |

| 76968 | 2002-09-06 08:54:00 | Willbry responding. Thanks to all those who have tried to assist me. I now have compounded the problem by playing around with the scheme and have unfortunately deleted both the lap top and the Home Office /. Desk options from the scheme I have now only the one option "Always On" operating. Is there a way in which I can retrieve these deleted options? "Help" on this topic unfortunately doesn't offer any help. | willbry (1555) | ||

| 76970 | 2002-09-06 09:33:00 | It is possibly a bug or weakness in Win98SE, I have a similar problem. I set the monitor to go on standby after 10 minutes inactivity, but it frequently doesnt. I have to reset 10 minutes & 'Apply' again to get it to work. It often fails to work after using audio player programs, but I cant definitely pin point the cause. It's a slight irritation. |
