    If you are having issues with Power4.. I would recommend uninstalling it from control panel - programs and features. . The 3 standard windows power schemes are fine in my opinion.
    If you really need it go here ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download
    then download and install the current version for your model.
    BTW what model do you have?

    ^ i was under the impression power4gear did more than offer battery settings. it also controls the fan speed in a separate (and as asus claims, smarter) fashion than the average BIOS settings. correct me if im wrong.

    All you have to do is open it from the Start Menu (it's located in the Asus folder).

    I'm assuming you have updated it, if so, you will have lost the ability to click the gadget and select from the 4 plans. All you can use the gadget for now is switching between battery saver and high performance. Hopefully Asus fix this soon.
