Power Scheme Turn Off Problem

Hi Ka2H,
Well, you may not think you know much on the subject, but you DID solve my
problem. It has been an annoyance for several months, but now I can again
assign different monitor shut off times. And all my old schemes are again in
the drop down.
The first suggestion you gave did not work. I believe it is the one I had
tried myself two or three times before.
But it was the second suggestion that worked, that is the one that sent me
to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm .
I downloaded the fix, I think it was Number 204. Once I applied this reg
fix, my power schemes were back in order, including ability to assign times
besides 1 minute. )
So, thank you again for your posting and help. It proved once again how
valuable the newsgroup community can be.

It really helped me too, thousands of miles away, here in Italy!
Unfortunately only for one more profile but likely now I can also restart
saving other optios.
I wanted you to know that you are GREAT
