    i received my free win7 upgrade and installed it.

    got a strange problem, my screen brightness keeps adjusting automaically whilst im using the laptop

    plus when im running windows 7 it seems to struggle when opening new windows and resizing things

    vista runs perfect so im back on that now

    go to intel drivers settings and disable or reduce "Intel Display Power Saving"

    Thanks for the tip. I was wondering what was going on with my screen. Why would Intel implement such a stupid feature? I'd rather lose a bit of battery life rather than deal with that nonsense.
