re: Dim display Saturday, February 24, 2007 at 9:00 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6528 messages posted) The BIOS should have a setting for screen brightness when running on batteries, and on external power. You generally have to set that one also, in addition to the one in Windows. Check your docs for instructions on how to get into the BIOS setup when booting up. You should find the settings there.
