I'm running XP Home Edition. A while back I was suddenly
not permitted, in the Desktop Properties, to rename and change settings on
any of the Power Schemes. Unfortunately I don't remember what the error
message said about that. I deleted all of the power schemes except one, to
see if that would help, and it didn't. I am able (sometimes) to change the
settings for the remaining power scheme, but I can't change the name. So I
now have only the one power scheme, and can't create others under a
different name.

Any suggestions that might fix this?

Very poor advice. It isn't used often but, when needed it is a life saver.
Sorry I can't help. You may have to reinstall-------lets hope not.
 
He told me System Restore is clumsy and can sometimes mess things up,
doesn't restore to an efficient system, and sometimes doesn't work at all -
that last one was in my experience, so I believed him. I have Norton Ghost
but haven't yet installed it on this computer.
 
Might I suggest using ERUNT system ; does a restore for every day and
works properly at all times . Used it on XP and now on Vista .
