Windows Vista Windows Vista Power Plan

[tonylamb]

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate with full Admin account and yet I'm unable to change my Active Power plan. I've tried adjusting the Group Policy along with Power CFG and still no results.. The command "powercfg -getsecuritydescriptor SCHEME_MIN" indicates that I should have full acces to adjust the power plan but I can't seem to access it via the power options..
Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks..Anthony

Power Options

Many thanks for the reply... But I've been through that page already and I can't make any changes to my options at all... I've attached a picture of the power options window which states that I have no access to the power options..
