Startup Group - 'Load Power Profile'.
Hello,
My Power Options, preset by the store tech from where I purchased this computer (together with the advice to leave them as set on account of WinME's proclivity towards problems in this area) has meant I have made no change to those settings - Always On. Never. Never and Never. In the startup menu in msconfig are two instances of Load Power Profile. I believe it was in these newsgroups where I was prompted to regard the mentioned settings as such i.e. that no request in Power Options was in fact a setting in itself. Google has been of little help in this matter. Which is - Should the two "Load Power Profile' startup items remain checked and if so - why? Or is there any benefit gained or lost from unchecking them -.if so what is it? I ask because of conflicting advice being touted. Thanks. Ben. |

Good to have confirmation, Mike.
Thanks and best wishes. Ben. "Mike M" wrote in message ... Yes, there should be two LoadPowerProfile settings in the startup axis and you would be ill-advised to remove either.

One of the "LoadPowerProfile" entries loads a set of default power saving
values that are used if no user is logged in (or if you hit Esc to bypass login) and the other loads the values saved in your personal profile. Since they run and then exit (don't take up memory or system resources) there's nothing to be saved by eliminating one or the other. -- Richard G.

Well I think this whole question to be outside my comprehension.
Suffice it then that, for whatever reason, it is preferable for the user to NOT delete the two LPP entries. The first of which sets the defaults - the second the user's preferences as expressed in Power Options and known as the personal profile. Does it matter which choice is made in the BIOS under Power and Power Management - Disable or User Define? Thanks. Ben. "Ben B" seafarerathushmail.com wrote in message ...

The BIOS settings are usually overridden by the operating system, but not
always. When in doubt I always turn off all standby timers and such in BIOS and let Windows handle it. -- Richard G.
