Power Options is Missing

I just installed Vista Business on an HP m8100n, and when I click on power
options nothing shows up. I also get a shell error. The error code is
'shell:::{26EEO668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\2\::{025A5937-A6B...\pageGlobalSettings'

Any Help Would be Appreciated.

Hi Ross,

Try running a "sfc /scannow" (no quotes) command to see if it can find and fix the error for you. This will show you how.

Re: Power Options is Missing

I ran the check and it came back with corrupted files. I checked the CBS log
to find out what they were because Windows could not fix the files. The two
files are powercpl.dll and pnidui.dll. I download the dll's off the internet
and put them in the system32 folder. But Vista won't allow me to take out the
corrupted versions. I am logged on as the administrator and I tried to change
the permissions of the files, but that didn't work either.

Once again any help would be appreciated.

Re: Power Options is Missing

Try repairing your installation using the Windows Vista installation DVD.

Boot from your Windows Vista DVD, select the System Repair Option > on the
setup screen, select 'Repair Computer > Select your installation of Windows

> select Startup Repair option and follow instructions.

Hi Ross,

You will need to take ownership of them first, then you should be able to delete them.

Take Ownership of file
