[Bads]

Hello,

I need to disable the native power management in windows XP for installing a software for my UPS Backup

The installer try to disable it but it is not able to doing that.

Thanks for your help

Have you tried going into Power Options in Control Panel? Probably a stupid suggestion but just trying to give my input.

Good Luck Bads!

Bads, I don't have have such a wonderful equipment (and thus I'm no expert...) but I recall I once a long time ago disabled a UPS-service. It might be worth a try to have a look there.

Yes .unicorn,

I can disable the UPS service but I want to disable the power management because when I install the software for my UPS, the program try to disable the power management but it can't disable it.

The UPS is working but I have less option in the software. One tab is missing

Hi,

Have you tried installing the software in SafeMode, a lot of XP features aren't loaded, just a thought.

I will try in safe mode daMANwithANSWERZ

This is not working in safe mode too

Because the software cannot see the UPS who is connected to a USB port

Have you right clicked on My Computer/Manage/Services and Applications/Services and disabled the UPS service?
