Workaround: Menu bar application is located in /Library/Application 
Support/nosleep/NoSleepHelper.app. You can start it manually or add it to login 
items (in System Preferences->Accounts->%username%->Login Items)

Same issue on 10.6.7.  Thanks you for the workaround!  Haven't tried a restart 
yet, but I was able to add it to my login items.

Incase anyone is having trouble finding the 'nosleep' folder, start in the 
Library folder under your system HD, not in your user folder.

So the Kernel isn't loading when trying to start the app from Preferences, no 
is it loading when rebooting. The only work around I found is that you have to 
reinstall it after a reboot, which is a pain.

Macbook Pro 8,2, Snow Leopard 10.6, NoSleep 1.2, same issue as described.  
Installation works great, application is loaded and functions appropriately.  
On reboot the helper is not loaded.  Going into the System Preference for 
NoSleep crashes the preferences app.

The workaround for adding the helper application to my users login items works 
great.  Launching the app manually also works.

2011.

Thanks for your app.

Hello everyone!:) Sorry for my low activity on this project. Today I found time 
to work on this issue - I've attached a fixed version of perfPane, could you 
guys verify that bug disappeared?

Remove your old prefPane by right clicking on it in the System Preferences... 
and selecting Remove...
Then uncompress a zip file from attachment and double click on a new perfPane 
file (to avoid duplication of icons in future select "Install for all users")

Thanks!
