X205 Missing Power Options

I somehow lost my "Power Options" under control panel. This is where you control how your computer goes to sleep, when it hibernates, how long the monitor stays on etc.

It just says "Your power plan information is not available right now."

Anyone know how to fix it? I've tried registry repairs, system restores, and a dual boot of Vista (the new install works, but Vista doesn't seem to have a reinstall to fix corrupted files function like XP did).

My computer goes into sleep mode after leaving it alone for a couple of minutes and it's getting rather annoying having to log into it again and again.

 

So your missing your power options in Vista? Try hitting the Start Button + X and see if they show up now.

 

Nope, under the battery thing after hitting Windows + X, theres a little pulldown box where the settings should be, but it's just blank. Nothing is in it. :\

 

What happens when you click on the battery itself that's right next to the dropdown

 

Opens up the Power Options screen with the "Your power plan information isn't available."

 

Did you uninstall Toshiba Power Saver? (or something like that?)

 

People keep mentioning this powersaver thing, but I have yet to run into it. I remember calling Toshiba tech support about it and they asked me about that too. Stuck in the Toshiba drivers disk and couldn't find anything about power saver, didn't find anything about power saver for my computer on the Toshiba website. I think it might be because it isn't available for Vista yet.

 

Yes it is. It came with my Toshiba P105 in Vista and there have been reports on x205 users getting rid of the "Toshiba Power Saver" thing thinking it's just bloatware. I have no clue where on the DISK you can find it if that really is the issue.

 

I don't see this Toshiba Power Saver on my X205 but I do have power options under Control Panel & Mobil PC

 

I don't have power plans installed and don't have any issues.

 

If any one have the power saver options (not the generic option of windows) with windows XP ? (when i reinstall de vista home premium i didnt have problems with the driver) but now that i installed XP i can´t find the driver...

 

Any luck with the missing power options? I have the same problem with a Lenovo laptop.

Thanks!

 

Have a look at powercfg. What does powercfg -list come up with (run the command in a DOS window).

John

 

Interesting. I get a LONG list. See below. It is interesting since I don't see any Power Plans.

Also, if I try and query for this existing power scheme using the cmd line option, it says I don't have privilege, but I don't think that is accurate. I logged in as the actual administrator, tried again, and it told me the same thing.

Oh, as I also ran the command prompt as Administrator.

Any clue?

Ummm.. That's a lot. And only one works.

Perhaps try to create yet another one using the instructions here. Or you can do the same using the Create a Power Plan in the Power Options control panel.

If you can't create a power plan then something, somewhere, seems to have got locked.
