Power Meter and Alarms MISSING!

Guest

Greetings!
I am using a Compaq N1020v Notebook. When it was new, I had all the tabs in
the Power Options Properties window. A while ago, the "Power Meter" and
"Alarms" tabs disappeared.

I have Power Schemes set to "Portable/Laptop", but it does not show me the
options for "Running on Batteries".

The battery DOES seem to be charging, but even if I have it running on
battery the power icon on the system tray always displays the "power cord"
(On AC Power).

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I found my own solution. In the Device Manager, I uninstalled all entries
under "Batteries" and rebooted the computer. After the restart, all my power
settings were restored

I hope this answer might help someone else that is having this problem.
