    For some reason whenever I plug in my laptop now the brightness goes down to (and I'm guessing) 20%...so super dark.


    I'm not sure why this is happening, and I can't change the panel brightness in my power4gear while it's in AC mode...Anyone have an idea of what I could do to fix this?

    figured it out... had to exit power4gear while I was in DC mode then reconnect in AC.

    Way to be.

    It's actually a pretty cool feature IMO

    I just wish that it worked in Vista! I miss auto-brightness.
