I have been there, but it does not help. From googling it seems that you have to enter the registry and alter the settings, but I am not sure how to carry out this procedure On Monday, November 9, 2009 at 12:17 am, MartinM wrote: > >http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302713 > [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Power settings error notice Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 5:13 am Posted by Kevinh (634 messages posted) Has this PC ever been owned by another person or company? getting the "Power Policy Manager unable to set policy" message could indicate that a previous owner has applied some security policies to stop other users changing these settings.

But on googling it seems it is it only important if you want to set different settings in the power schemes, and then with the power policy manager, it is possible to change from one set of settings to another without physically changing the settings.

Best done like that rather than using an on-line forum, I think.
