    Hey guys,

    I recently had to reinstall Vista (catasrophic HDD failure). I lost the custom Dell Power settings and I am not sure how to get them back. And I think that I need them! My estimated battery life is about 2 hours in balanced mode rather than 3 hours as I had previously.

    Is it on the Drivers and Utils disk, online, or what? I am not even sure what exactly I am looking for. Please help me!
