Open notepad and paste the following

--------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\0]
"Name"="Home/Office Desk"
"Description"="This scheme is suited to most home or desktop computers that
are left plugged in all the time."
"Policies"=hex:01,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,\

also
note that many of the programs on my computer acted as if i had opened
them
for the first time when i first noticed the problem. Any more ideas?

Do you have hibernation mode enabled, is so disable it, then try again.

Sometimes this works, you can always try System Restore to restore your
computer to an earlier time when you had your power options working.

No luck with that. Also, my computer doesnt make any of its system sounds
for startup, shutdown, alerts, etc.

Open the defragger tool and Analyze the drive your Os is
on (most are C:) If the drive has more than 20%
fragmentation, Clean and defragment.

Check for parasites (adware) using Spybot S&D, and Adaware.
 
Im sure it was spyware or adware. i decided to create a new windows profile.
Other profiles dont seem to have the problem. But thanks anyways.
