How can I disable MS WinXP power options/managements so that I can
enable my laptop's power management feature ?

As things stand, whenever I try to open my laptop's power management I
get the message telling me that I must close WinXP power options. I
get the same message whenever I try to open the WinXP "Power Options"
in control Panel.

Thank you for any help!

More detailed information is needed:
1. Make and Model of this laptop
2. XP Home or XP Pro?
3. Was XP an upgrade from a previous version of Windows?
4. If upgrade, what Windows did you upgrade from and when?
5. What is the EXACT error message?

1. Toshiba Satellite Pro M10
2. XP Pro
3. XP Pro preinstalled. It came with the machine
4. Clean install (I suppose) by Toshiba
5. "To adjust power management settings,close Microsoft Windows XP
Power options and use Toshiba Power saver."
Title bar = "TOSHIBA Power Saver"

When I press the "OK" button, the Toshiba Power Saver windows pops up,
but it is non-functional, grayed-out.

Thanks for taking the time!

How much memory does your machine have?

What does Toshiba support have to say about this issue?
This is their OEM Install of XP Pro and they should be
troubleshooting this problem for you.
