NEED HELP WHICH ONE DO I DISABLE I HAVE TO ENTRYS IN MSCONFIG ON Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme
Hi Blaze, Are you saying that that entry is double in your msconfig? Could you post your HijackThis log Download, Unzip and run HijackThis, Then click Scan > Save log, save the log as a .txt file and copy & paste its content into your next post. Don´t fix anything yet. Most of what it finds is harmless. Regards, Pieter

Hi Blaze, I believe it's normal for Windows ME to have these two entries (I know they exist on a fresh default ME installation on my parents Gateway PC, which is almost an identical system to yours). Here's a site that has a little info on this: http://www.greatis.com/regrun3necessary.htm#rundll32.exe%20powrprof.dll,loadcurrentpwrscheme As far as memory goes, I don't think these stay running, per say. I think they set the power management functions and exit. In your past postings of HijackThis and StartupList information, you've had only the one that is run as a Service enabled: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=8056 I don't see any reason to disable either of them unless you don't use power management at all.
will whats thepoint of haveing poer managment will it hurt my pc if i shut it dowen does it have anything to do with my cool screen saver or my wall paper if not id like it shut dowen so do i disable both entrys?
Frankly, I think you are better off leaving them there. You aren't really going to get anything of value back by removing them, and you may just cause some unknown problem. Power Management controls a number of different things, and one of them may be the specific function performed when you press the power button on your Gateway PC. (Software intercepts that button press initially, and I'm not sure what state it'll be in if you remove the power management program from startup.) However, you can certainly try it out and see what happens. You can always put them back.
SYMPTOMS When you view the programs that are loaded when you start your computer, you may notice that LoadPowerProfile is listed twice. CAUSE This behavior can occur because LoadPowerProfile is started twice to provide a power management profile before and after you log on to Windows. LoadPowerProfile starts as a machine service so that the default power management settings are available when Windows 98 starts. It is loaded again after you log on to Windows to process preferences for individual users of the computer. STATUS This behavior is by design.

I disagree with the advice give you so far..thought I had posted it here for you but now do not see it. I know gateway and certainly ME ..I would consider this information. Take care Blaze.. Can I customise WinME to free up System Resources? http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winme/t1045426243
Hi Primrose, I'm sorry. I don't understand what you're saying (must be the sun ) Following your link i spotted: The here in that quote leads to: Since Blaze 's question was if he needed both or he could disable one of them, I agree with LWM and M$ that it is better to leave them both alone, as long as you're experiencing no problems. How was that saying again? Don't repair what is not broken. Regards, Pieter
I was not brought up on M$ sayings and since Blaze is the only user of that PC this applies. LoadPowerProfile = LoadPowerProfile rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,loadcurrentpwrscheme All Users HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Power Management Setup LoadPowerProfile rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,loadcurrentpwrscheme All Users HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices Power Management Setup Power management specifics such as monitor shut-off, system standby, etc. Associated with power management and is listed twice - see here: LoadPowerProfile Starts Twice When You Start Your Computer Loads your selected power scheme. May not be required - depends upon whether you modify the default Control Panel -> Power Options settings And because of the type and model of his PC he has no need to modify any power option settings..in fact he would be better off not to do this. The rest is history dealing with ME... it is a step child (and it is broke )but the kid is stuck with it unless he found himself a good copy of Win98 and sticks with IE 5.0..and then get some good technical help to stop Microsoft from managing his RAM. Blaze is not doing wordprocessing nor most of the bloat that comes with that package deal he has with the software from the purchase. Blaze is now on dial up..he wants every bit of speed and function for the special use HE has for that system. And he has been around now long enough to understand how to accomplish all this. It is advice I give to him..not to other members here. Each need is specific..and since Blaze will not soon get a new PC or OS and he did get some more RAM... it would be nice to get the most out of what he has. Call it hacking or whatever you wish in the mean time...but it is his box and he has been doing that for ages already. The dude is fearless Regards, John So I will be glad to help him get lean and mean to enjoy the things he likes most about the Internet.
Hi Primrose, I know he's fearless and I know you're very knowledgeable and helpful. Just wanted to know what exactly you ment, because your post was kind of cryptic. And of course I wanted to put my two cents of warning in. Regards, Pieter
Hi Pieter, Go back to that link I posted above in the first post. Do not just read it all..but also click on all of the hyperlinks that are offered..Maybe you did not know they were in there... here are two of them... FYI, info on ACPI or APM: Advanced Power Management How to Disable Power Management and if you would click on "How to Disable Power Management" It would bring you to this site. http://9337387.home.icq.com/main22.html If you get a chance to read of the the links and still have a question for me..let me know..I think you will find that link for "Advanced Power Management" at Forrest is no longer active..but If you need info on it I will post it. Smiles, John
