Can some one PLEASE help
Ok, so i just got a new labtop with vista and everything was working great. Im not sure what i did, but i can't modify my power settings. When i try to change my power plan settings it says that my power plan info isnt available. I then go to the FAQ part and it says
"If your computer is part of a network at an organization—such as a school, government agency, or business—your organization's system administrator might have made certain settings unavailable or even removed them by using Group Policy. Group Policy is a feature of Windows that lets system administrators manage users' access to Windows features.
If you think that Group Policy is preventing you from changing a setting that you need to access, contact your system administrator."

I have NO idea what this means.. this is my personal computer and is not part of any newtworks. I then tried to change my account type to "standard user" so i could fix the problem, but my computer won't let me. I even created a new user account and made that one a standard user but it didn't fix the probelm. How do i gain access to my power plan so i can modify it??? :confused:

If anyone at all needs more info to solve the problem just ask and i'll do my best to help you.
Thanks

Things you may have installed after the "Restore Point" you use may be gone
after the restore.

Your user accounts will not be touched, nor will your personal settings.








Keep us informed!

By that Ted means applications that you have installed after the Restore point may not work - registry entries pointing to the right files and such will need to be re-established, usually as simple as reinstalling the program.

However *files* that you have created are not changed.
