Need a Windows XP Pro SP2 power management utility

Hello, recently I lowered my (preinstalled) HP 6820 s Vista Home to XP Pro SP2, to learn that XP isn't this nice power management utility that offered three options, for example, energy saving, optimized Mode, High Performance. So I'm currently looking for other freeware that need solutions, as it appears, that there is no official management utility XP of HP. I missed something, is there an official utility for XP and if it is not all the utilities, someone know any (preferably freeware) solutions to create profiles of power?

PS: How can I reduce brightness screen my laptop now? Unable to find the option anywhere...

Thank you!

Edit: ignore the share of PS, totally forgot the 'Fn' key on the keyboard

  • Reinstall windows xo pro sp2/sp3?

    Have a laptop with Windows XP Pro SP2 and it is 32-bit. I want to reinstall the OS, but I do not have the CD. How to do this? Where can I get the operating system? Can I download it from any source? Any link?

    Now the latest service pack for XP's SP3. So I can download SP3 from the windows website and install it in my pc. Is it free? At the bottom of my pc

    There is a sticker that shows the product key. But I think it's the product key of Windows XP SP2. I want to know that can I download XP SP3 and use this product key to reinstall the OS? Am I wrong?

    Please explain in detail what to do after I downloaded the OS? I want to download on another computer. How to make a CD so that I can install windows via a CD?

    Probably, your laptop has a depression recovery accessible by the F key or modified mechanism F (for example Ctrl) key at boot time. To learn more about this we need the details of your laptop (brand and model). You can find this documented somewhere in the start menu or in a booklet that came with the laptop.

    In addition, there are probably a facility to create your own recovery CD/DVDs. Again, look in the start menu and in any document paper. If this facility exists, you should do so as soon as possible because it's your only method of recovery in case of hard drive failure.

    Otherwise recovery integrated and/or the creation of recovery media, you will need to contact the manufacturer for recovery media.

    You can download a standalone SP3 Installer of...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

    .. .This is only a service pack installation, not a full installer of XP operating system. You can ignore the text which says that it is for network installations and also ignore the text informing Windows/Microsoft Update If a single update of a PC. You will not request a product key.

    Indeed you will need this installer of SP3 update of the OS until Windows Update will be operational. Install it before even to try Windows Update.

    Recovery of the manufacturer would not normally require the entry of the product key of your sticker. But if this is the case, the key on the sticker is good for recovery and updates including SP3.

    After recovery, you must uninstall any AV solution came pre-installed, do the SP3 upgrade without being connected to the internet and then install Microsoft Security Essentials for which a standalone installer can be downloaded here, for example...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=5201

    .. .or here...

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Security-Essentials-download

    Then you can connect to the internet and download MSE (or alternative AV) updates and Windows updates.

    A standalone IE8 installation program can be downloaded here...

  • Satellite 1900-102: power management utility installs in XP SP2

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone has encountered thi problem before:

    I had to uninstall the Toshiba power management utility (version 1.3 for the Satellite 1900 102 running XP SP2). When I tried to re - install the installer launches and I get a message saying "Invalid Handle" followed by the error "unable to install this version of the utility of toshiba to your system power management" and Setup stops.

    Any help is appreciated.

  • V.2002 of MS Windows XP Pro SP2 OEM from Newegg in 2006 would not agree on shrinkwrap product key during installation

    I bought v.2002 of MS Windows XP Pro SP2 OEM from Newegg in 2006.  She would never accept the product key during the installation on his blister.  To complete the installation, I used a different key of a second OEM disk, and it worked.  It's been a while since I installed XP; but I was working on this computer lately and realized I never knew why the CD has had this problem or how to fix it.  I have 3 questions.  #1: the key on the blister does not match the key in "unattended installation. TXT "; is this normal?  #2: the key in "unattended installation. TXT doesn't work anymore.  #3.   Any ideas on this subject?  Thank you, Jeff.

    The only thing I can think is that you were consistantly entered a bad key - it's almost unknown fo that there is to be a wrong key on the label and it is much more likely to be a case of misreading of the key, which is not easily read in the best of light (which is why I often use a torch and a magnifying glass).

    I guess it's vaguely possible that this is a substituted forgery (some thieves employee pirateshave shoplifter and employees take to counterfeit and bring out the true copies).

    I'm surprised that the other has worked, if it had already been installed on another PC - they are locked for the life of the first motherboard on which they are enabled.

    The key in the file 'unattend.txt' is a dummy - it cannot be enabled and is not normally get used except in the OPK.

  • Windows XP Pro SP2 re - install does not accept the product key.

    I'm trying to re - use the product key on the sticker from the bottom of the laptop.  This is the same computer that was working fine until I decided to reinstall, but I use a different installation media because the laptop (a refurb) never came with the media.  Can I call MS and get it re-authorized?  I have XP Pro SP2 and XP Pro SP3 Reacondicionador media.

    You try to install Windows XP with OEM product key you have on your COA sticker. So be sure that you have a generic Windows XP OEM CD, because VLK or Retail CD does not accept the OEM product key.

    I tried, but I have not simply can't work with Windows Vista. I have to downgrade to Windows XP.

    I have a new laptop HP HDX X18t with a Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 GHz processor (with the last correspondent chipset Intel?)

    Hewlett-Packard Bios F.20, 05/01/2008

    Hardware Abstraction Layer version = "6.0.6002.18005".

    It has the configuration of the hard drive dual option factory. I have removed the C: plant and it will save way later. I then moved
    the 2nd hard drive to the place where the used to be C:. Set startup to boot from the dvd drive for a cool XP with sp2 install.
    This laptop keeps me to install Windows XP, XP sp2, XP with sp3, XP even with Vista Theme.
    I have the factory supplied Vista Home Premium 64-bit dvd disc, and Yes, this will install flawlessly from start to finish
    without ANY problem at all. Hard drives are sata2. I tried to install XP with versions with special sata drivers
    included in the installation cd. No go. Even made several versions of XP sp2 with "simplified" in sata drivers
    the installation cd. Same thing. No go. (no go = blue screen of death)

    Here is the error message (blue screen of death) which continues to appear on all attempts of my XP installs.
