Hey guys

I have an Inspiron8600. It came with a utility called Dell Quickset. I removed the part in my startup where it started, I don't know if I removed it in regsitry or in the startmenu (I used TuneUp 2004).

Anyway, the QuickSet program was useful, I didn't know, so I put it back in my StartMenu and it starts up and everything works fine. ... Except that it shows this PowerManagement configuration everytime I reboot my PC. I just ahve to click (Next) a few times, and then everything works. But I hate having to do this.

I looked for command line options to make it "save" the config, or to run invsibile or whatever, but I can't find anything. Does anyone have a clue how to cure this?

Thanks!

Hi there,

It sounds like you have encountered a common issue with Dell Quickset and its power management settings. The good news is that there are a few steps you can take to solve this problem.

First, try reinstalling the Quickset program. This will ensure that all necessary files and settings are in place. If that doesn't work, try resetting the power management settings to default. You can do this by going into the Quickset program and selecting the "Restore Defaults" option.

If those options don't work, you can try manually configuring the power management settings. Go into the Quickset program and select the "Power Management" tab. From there, you can adjust the settings to your desired preferences. Make sure to save your changes before exiting the program.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact Dell support for further assistance. They may have additional troubleshooting steps or be able to provide a software update to fix the issue.

I hope this helps and that you are able to resolve the problem soon. Good luck!
