    Okay here's the problem. I have the powerplay tab as shown below, but as you can see there aren't any options in the selection boxes. Also notice where it says vista power plan, battery remaining and power source are all blank. I've tried installing the original drivers but I have the same problem. I tried again with driver cleaner before going back to the 8.3 Cats. The computer is an Asus A8JP and I can get almost an hour better of battery life with powerplay. I'm using Windows Vista 32 and the card is a X1700. Also, I checked and made sure the ati service wasn't disabled, so it's not that. It use to work but I've recently reinstalled everything and now it don't. Here's a screen shot. Please help!
