I am still trying to figure out a few things that hopefully some of you can help me with. I have noticed that when my laptop boots is selects a system power profile 'economy' and I have also noticed a few times it has changed to profile 'performance'. My question is how can I define what these profiles are and how can I select them manually myself. The second thing that I cannot seem to figure out is how to change the screen brightness. Can somebody point me in the right direction, I am not sure where to even begin. Thanks Chris
