    Serial Keys is not included in Windows Vista. In previous versions of
    Windows, Serial Keys provided support so that alternative input devices
    could be plugged into the computer's serial port.

    They support UPS using USB connections. It's extremely limited, though.
    The connection lets the computer know when it's on battery power and adjust
    the power profile (when to turn off screen, hard drive, shutdown when
    battery power reaches critical, standby, hibernate or just shutdown.)
    accordingly.

    I won't waste any more resources on it by installing the bloated UPS client
    software from APC (the make of my UPS).

    You might have to install your UPS software if you want support through the
    serial port. Assuming the UPS maker offers that kind of software for
    Windows Vista.

    Thanks for your answer. Yes, I already noticed this problem in MSDN.
    But i wonder what process deals with USB UPS.
    For example, There is a UPS.exe on Win2000,XP,2003.
    What is it on Vista. And i can open it on control panel applet---power
    management---UPS page.
    So Where can i find this tool?

    There is no UPS.exe as far as I can tell on Vista, but I only have the Home
    Basic version. You can find Power Options under Hardware and Sound in
    Control Panel. The interface is very sparse, not much options, not much
    graphics. Battery power meter is the power icon in the system tray.

    In Control Panel, Hardware and Sound

    PowerOptions
    Change power-saving settings
    Change what the power buttons do
    Require a password when the computer wakes
    Change when the computer sleeps

    Hi,

    You can't unless the UPS manufacturer can provide supporting software.
    Native support was removed in Vista, I believe due to irresolvable conflicts
    with the sleep function.

    There's no ups.exe on any version of Vista. The limited functions you now
    see were incorporated into a library (.dll) file, I forget which one.
