Hi
I was trying to set my battery alarm and just found out I am missing two
tabs the Alarm tab and the Power meter.
Can someone help
 
Using Power Options in Control Panel, you can adjust any power management
option that your computer's unique hardware configuration supports. Because
these options may vary widely from computer to computer, the options
described may differ from what you see. Power Options automatically detects
what is available on your computer and shows you only the options that you
can control.

Hi Wes
Click to expand...
I still can't understand why the options is not there for mein windows xp
home edition. Would this be the reason??
Thanks Pat
 
Pat,

I honestly don't think XP Home has anything to do with it. I do not have a
laptop so I can't check out anything else on this. ;-(

Hi wes

Check under control panel power options and that is where I am missing
those two tabs...

Hi,

Are you hooked to a UPS unit? If not, there is no reason you would have
those two tabs.

Pat,

I assumed that you had a laptop.

If you have a Desktop the only tabs that you'll see in Power Options
Properties are:

Power Schemes
Alarms (Portable/Laptops only)
Power Meter (Portable/Laptops only)
Advanced
Hibernate (If the Hibernate tab is unavailable, your computer does not
support this feature.)
UPS
