i just tried to enable UPS.exe in windows services via services.msc and windows is giving me the error:

~! Could not start the Uninterruptible Power Supply service on Local Computer.
~! Error 2481: The UPS service is not configured correctly.

i DO have my UPS's program: PowerChute installed but it gave me a small popup saying i do not have hibernation enabled and that i will lose my work in case of a power loss and shutdown.

i was wondering how i can fix either that UPS.exe startup problem and how to properly configure my power loss configurations in windows.

UPS: APC BX1300LCD
OS: Windows XP Sp2
