I was having all kinds of problems with PCPE v.2. So I uninstalled it, removed registry entries, and installed PCPE v 3.0. This new version works much better. But I do have a couple of questions.

1. When I click on "Technical Data", my floppy drive goes crazy trying to access a disk when the drive is empty. I put a floppy in the drive, and it settles down. What's up with that?

2. Also, I failed to read the release notes before installation of version 3. So I installed the program to it's own root directory, and not in the Program Files directory like the notes say. Version 2 help on this forum for not finding the rundll module, was to install in the root directory. So, do I need to move this to the Program Files directory, or can I leave it where it is?

Thanks,

Dave

h1. this is now fixed!

PCPE version 3.0.0.1 is now available on the web. This is an interim release that is available in English & German and addresses three major concerns.

Fixes in this release:*

•With Windows UAC enabled, when a user logged on to Windows Vista or Windows 7, the UAC dialog always asked the user to approve starting the PowerChute Systray icon. This will no longer happen.

•After un-installing PowerChute, hibernation was not being restored and has been corrected.

• When selecting PowerChute Technical data screen it would be displayed very slowly and sometimes the internal PC fan/floppy drive made a lot of noise (indicating over usage). This has also been addressed.

Here is the link to the software or you can browse to it on apc.com/tools/download
