Cannot open power options from control menu

Hi, I need to change my power options on my laptop as it seems to be set to battery mode and not power mode.
Unfortunately I can't open it via the control panel. I tried using the following:
powercfg /RestoreDefaultPolicies but nothing.
Would system restore work? Everything was fine until this morning when my laptop was running from the battery.
I have Windows XP home....
Thanks
