    Non of the new dirvers I install for my 9800m GT seem to have powermsier enabled. Tried from 186.xx to 195.xx. Is power miser not a feature of these drivers or is it a problem with my machine? Do i need to enable powermiser in the settings? Never had to do this before.

    Thanks

    Thanks, this worked perfectly. Any idea why I needed to use it? Powermizer always worked fine without it on previous windows installs ...

    in vista power mizer cannot be disabled manually so someone had to make a tool to turn it off ourselves. in xp u can disable it manually from the driver.
