Try this, right click on My Computer, select properties, then hit the Device Manager tab, select view devices by type. Find where it says System devices and double click it, next find something called ACPI Power Button and/or ACPI System Button, highlight them with a single click, and click the remove button, and reboot the computer. Windows should find them again and reinstall Power Management. If this doesn't solve the problem get back, I know theres a couple other solutions but I can't remember them at the moment. You could also try using system restore to fix the problem, but if you're using Norton Anti-Virus be sure to disable it before you use system restore because if the virus definitions have been updated sinse this happened they will be corrupted and you'll only be able to start in Safe Mode, but if that happens anyway, uninstall NAV from Safe Mode,and when everything is fixed with power management reinstall NAV and go to symentec's website and download Hawking Tool. It repairs NAV if the system restore corrupts the NAV definitions. Hope this solves the problem.
