Thanks for the response. I wouldn't even think about firing up a new one
with using a UPS. I've never run into a situation where the UPS tab was not
available in Windows XP Power Management, and I've only used APC's software
one time before, but APC could have changed that. I ran out of time and went
ahead and installed their software. I'm sure it will be fine, but IMO the XP
UPS Power Management was less intrusive and just one less utility to boot up
at start up. Thanks again.
