Hi Everyone,

 

I have a latitide D531 running Windows XP Pro 32bit.

 

I have a problem where the power options keep resetting themselves back to default. If I change the power scheme so that when on batteries it doesn't go into standby for 1hr, it will apply, but when I then go back in, it resets itself back to default.

 

I have created a new power scheme and this doesn't change anything. I am not using the Dell Management software. This has never been installed as I have formatted and wiped the machine to reinstall the OS from scratch recently.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Many thanks in advance

 

Scott
