Daffy,

Did you not see my reply to your earlier identical post?

To restore the power scheme? What do you mean? Is the Control Panel option for

Power missing, or what? You need to supply a bit more info to clarify what is

"missing", or what doesn' work, and what is still there.

 

Details please.....

You can just create your own new schemes. I assume you must have deleted the

schemes that came with Windows 98 by default...the "Always On" power scheme,

Portable/laptop scheme and so forth? You can create your own scheme and name

them whatever you want, or name them Always On, Portable/Laptop, ect to

replace the default ones. You don't need to load them on from the Windows 98

installation CD.

As I wrote elsewhere, I usually access this group through the OE

newsreader but I wasn't able to view my posts. I'm now accessing this

group thru Google. Thanks for understanding.

Control Panel's Power Management seems to be associated with this

executable:

 

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\POWERCFG.CPL

 

There is an .inf file that appears to be associated with the original

installation:

 

C:\WINDOWS\INF\POWERCFG.INF

 

The .inf makes reference to these files:

 

powercfg.dll

PowerCfg.inf

powercfg.cpl

powrprof.dll

batmeter.dll

 

At the bottom of the .inf there are these strings:

 

POWER_HOME_OFFICE = "Home/Office Desk"

POWER_PORTABLE = "Portable/Laptop"

POWER_PERSONAL_SERVER ="Always On"

 

The .inf file itself contains the data for the various policies (see

below). It appears that the actual policies are stored in the

registry, not in files.

 

==========================================================

;Desktop policy

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Controls

Folder\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\0","Policies",1,\

 

<block of data>

 

; portable policy

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Controls

Folder\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\1","Policies",1,\

 

<block of data>

 

; Always On policy

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Controls

Folder\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\3","Policies",1,\

 

<block of data>

==========================================================

 

It seems to me that you could copy the appropriate files from your CD

(or locate them on your HD) and then r-click powercfg.inf and select

Install.

That was a great idea but it didn't work for me. Somehow my Windows

installation has been corrupted. Thank you for your reply.
