    Hi!

    I have a question regarding my SXPS16 running Vista home premium.
    When I run it on battery, I sometimes choose to set the power scheme/management (I dont know what its called in english since I have swedish OS) on energy saving. I mean down in the task bar on the little battery icon...

    BUT when I connect my powercable again, it stays on energy saver, instead of switching to "high performance". And if I dont set it on high performance it will still perform like Im running on battery. I noticed this in a game, where my FPS was incrased by 30-40 just by changing this option.

    So is there a setting somewhere that changes the power scheme automaticlly?

    Thanks for help!
