SYMPTOMS
When you view the programs that are loaded when you start your computer, you may notice that LoadPowerProfile is listed twice.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because LoadPowerProfile is started twice to provide a power management profile before and after you log on to Windows. LoadPowerProfile starts as a machine service so that the default power management settings are available when Windows 98 starts. It is loaded again after you log on to Windows to process preferences for individual users of the computer.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
To view the programs that are loaded when you start your computer, use any of the following system tools:


 * Dr. Watson
 * System Configuration Utility
 * Microsoft System Information
