Problem Title:
POWER.EXE may slow down PPR


Problem Description:
power.exe is a device that can be loaded in the config.sys that is used to reduc
e power consumption when applications are idle.  It is possible that this device
 may not recognize PPR as being active (when PPR is run in DOS) and power down r
esources, leaving PPR in a wait state until it sees user activity.

power.exe was really intended for portables and not needed for desktop computers
.


Solution 1:

Remove power.exe from the config.sys.
