re: Laptop reduces CPU power on batteries Monday, October 24, 2005 at 7:21 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Matthew D. Healy (1255 messages posted) I'm not familiar with Packard-Bell laptops, but with my work ThinkPad (I'm typing this on my own desktop box, but I have a ThinkPad laptop for work), when I right-click the battery gauge icon in the Taskbar I get a pop-up menu with all sorts of settings for this. It even lets me define named "power schemes" with various combinations of settings for particular situations. Check the docs that came with your laptop, and/or the vendor's website.
