I see several replies here(Thanks everyone : ) )and I am not sure which to try first so I will start with what I think is the simplest. I am checking the power options in the control panel.
Under the UPS tab I have:
'The UPS service is currently stopped.'
I dont know if this is relevant but I have a Radio Shack Computer Equipment Surge protector.
Under 'Status' in the UPS tab everything is greyed out and all the entries are blank.
Under 'Details' the manufacturer is 'none'.
When I click on the 'Select' button for 'Details' I have two other choices American Power Conversion or Generic.

Is there anything there that would cause this?
