I have read numerous time about the suggestion to disable power management. Firstly, is this done by selective startup in msconfig, and if so, which one do I deselect. I see two similar things there. One is LoadPowerProfile Registry (Machine Run)Rundll32.exe powerprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme
and the other ...
LoadPowerProfile Registry(Machine Service) Rundll32.exe powerprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme

Which is the correct one to disable at startup?

There are two places to look. In the control panel, there is a power options icon. There are power management choices there. The other place is in the BIOS. Many of the BIOSs can disable the power management features.
