    My screen darkens to 0% whenever it feels like it. When I go to ePower Management and put it back to 100% it brightens and then goes back to 0%. To get it back to 100% I must log off or restart the computer. It does this when I am running maximum performance or battery. Has anyone else had this problem? Using the Acer ePower Management is not helping. Does anyone know of any setting that will keep my screen running at 100%?

    are you plugged in or running on battery? Do you have another power management program running? I know intervideo gives you that option.

    It happens when I'm plugged in and using battery. No other power management on that I'm aware of. Thanks
