Good to have confirmation, Mike.

Thanks and best wishes.

Yes, there should be two LoadPowerProfile settings in the startup axis and
you would be ill-advised to remove either.

Anyone who suggest otherwise regrettably doesn't fully understand there
purpose. Note that each runs for but a few ms and causes no delay during
bootup.

Hello,

My Power Options, preset by the store tech from where I purchased this
computer (together with the advice to leave them as set on account of
WinME's proclivity towards problems in this area) has meant I have
made no change to those settings - Always On. Never. Never and Never.

In the startup menu in msconfig are two instances of Load Power
Profile. I believe it was in these newsgroups where I was prompted to
regard the mentioned settings as such i.e. that no request in Power
Options was in fact a setting in itself.

Google has been of little help in this matter. Which is - Should the
two "Load Power Profile' startup items remain checked and if so -
why? Or is there any benefit gained or lost from unchecking them -.if
so what is it?

I ask because of conflicting advice being touted.
