An employee wanted me to look at her battery life on her Sony VAIO VGN-SZ4XWN WinXP Pro2002 SP3.
When attempting to open "Power Options" from either Control Panel or "Start > Run..." I get the following error message popping up...

An exception occured while trying to run "C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL"C:\WINDOWS\system32\powercfg.cpl",Power Options"

Thankyou to you both. I gave sprengy slightly more because he mentioned needing the XP CD.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
