    P4G Hybrid issues on UL80vt

    I am getting very frustrated with the Power4Gear Hybrid not saving correctly on my UL80vt.

    Basically the GPU settings revert to "Save power (Integrated graphics)" when the computer is re-started. This behavior occurs in all modes, both P4G and Windows plans.

    I want the Nvidia gpu to be active in all High Performance and Entertainment modes, and the Intel graphics to be active in all Quiet Office and Power Saving modes, although which plans use which gpu is not relevant to this problem, the fact is that on re-start all plans are reset to integrated graphics.

    I am using Power4Gear version 1.1.44 (was using 1.1.31 and had the same issues, so I upgraded).

    Hoping someone here will have a simple "Oh you need to uninstall XXXX first, then install P4G and then reinstall XXXX" type fix for me.

    Don't use 1.1.44, use 1.1.25 ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download P4GHybrid
    .25 was written just for the UL30/80/50 VT/VS.
    It's not that it's setting it to integrated, .30+ don't realize the G210m exists.

    Hold on now, the latest version on the UL80VT downloads page is 1.1.31, and before I installed my new hard drive (SSD actually) I was running 1.1.31 just fine.

    It's got to be something else, I just need help nailing it down.
