    Has anyone used the newest version of Control Point System Manager software?

    They really really dumbed it down as now you don't have the ability to individually turn off things (SD card reader, DVD/CD Rom, etc).

    If anyone does any type of power management with individual parts I'd highly advise them to avoid this version.

    In Windows 7 these options are now integrated into the Windows power options. There is a group called "Dell Enhanced Settings" under the Advanced Settings in the power plans.

    Well i have got system manager installed but not touching any of the other parts. Connection manager is no better than Win or Intel options and i gave up on the FP reader stuff very soon.

    Since I don't have the finger print reader I don't even bother installing the security manager.

    I also forgo the Connection Manager, as Windows 7 handles it much better.
