    Hi all,
    I have discovered a strange problem, and not sure whether it's related to Power4Gear or the Windows 7 itself.

    The problem: If you power on your notebook on battery mode, the screen brightness is set to one defined for battery mode, that's OK. But, when you plug the AC, the screen brightness is NOT reverted back to higher level defined for AC mode. Also, if you power on and power off your notebook on battery mode, and if you plug the AC while the notebook is turned off, then power on your noteook with AC, the screen brightness isn't set to higher (AC mode) level although being powered on AC mode, the brightness level gets stucked at battery mode level.

    It's really annoying, when i look at Power4Gear, although battery mode and AC Mode have different brightness levels as well, if you power on your notebook on battery mode, the brightness settings are lost and tied to battery mode level. Interestingly, If you power on your notebook on AC mode, temporarily switching back to battery mode and AC mode won't cause that problem. The problem is specific for launches made on battery mode.

    Is there anyone noticed this?
