So i've got a samsung R20 laptop that came with Vista. it's a merom core2duo 1.73, 2gb ram etc.
Vista was useless so i've upgraded to Windows XP. The trouble is, I now have no power saver mode, etc. It's stuck at full blast which means I have a jet engine sounding, roasting hot laptop and all i'm doing is browsing t't interweb.![Mad :mad: :mad:](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/mad.gif)
Dunno if its this version of XP that omits those features or whether all XP's dont have it..
I've seen these modes on XP laptops before, and they did ship this exact model with XP..
This is my first laptop, so i'm not quite the expert I am with desktops with it.. the software peculiarities etc
Does anyone know of any way to get the power profiles back? 3rd party prog perhaps? or am i stuck, have to put up with it or go back to that waste of resources and time known as windows s**tsta?
