    Using MSCONFIG I disabled "SPMgr.exe" from starting when Windows loads.

    It uses 8100-9000KB so I figured why not.

    I googled the process and I found that some say it is a non-essential process

    and then I read it was an essential process.

    I disabled it to test. So far the computer charges fine -- runs off the battery

    fine -- and works off AC just fine.

    Anyone mess with this .exe before?

    I think it's related to the Sony Power Management.
