Hi,

I've been trying to create a new Power Scheme in my machine
programmatically.
My machine is a Windows XP SP2. The following is a sample code that
creates a new Power Scheme,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOLEAN CreateNewPowerPolicy( LPWSTR lpwszName )
{
UINT uiID = 9;
POWER_POLICY pwrPolicy;
POWER_POLICY defaultPwrPolicy;
BOOLEAN b = TRUE;
UINT activePwr;

ZeroMemory( &defaultPwrPolicy, sizeof( POWER_POLICY ));
if( CanUserWritePwrScheme())
{
printf( "User can write power scheme! \n" );
b = WritePwrScheme( &uiID, lpwszName, L"", &pwrPolicy );
if( !b )
{
printf( "Error while writing power scheme -> %d \n", GetLastError()
);
}
}
else
{
printf( " User cannot write power schemes! %d \n", GetLastError() );
}
printf( " Finished .. %d\n", uiID );

return b;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But everytime I try to execute this code it throws an error number -
1306, and the message is "Indicates two revision levels are
incompatible.".

Can somebody help me in solving this problem?

Got it!
Obtained the default power scheme and its properties using
"GetActivePwrScheme" and "ReadPwrScheme". Assigned the obtained
POWER_POLICY structure to a new one and created a new power policy
scheme using "WritePwrScheme", worked like a breeze!!
