    Hi!

    I have a Toshiba U300-N5 (C2D 1.67ghz).

    I was running Super PI, while the Power Scheme of Vista was at High Performance.
    I had a results of 55 seconds.

    I did the same test while on battery and I got a results of 33seconds.

    So I plug again my laptop, and put the power scheme at Balanced (vista again) and I got a performance of 33seconds.

    Does someone know how it happen?

    Edit:

    Even if i turn back the power scheme to High Performance: the results of pi is bad

    thanks

    All part of Bill's Master Plan for world domination! You are not the 1st post I have read where someone had issues when Vista set High performance. The others I think were CPU's down clocking on that setting. Sorry can't help more I am riding XP out to the very end (or a new computer).

    I think he was looking for help not comments about Vista.

    We want him to know we are not ignoring him. And helping make sure his thread doesn't get buried. You can also take it as we don't have a clue.

    thank for the support!

    I was looking on google, someone else had the same trouble. But nobody answered to him. (he posted his post on this forum)

    Finally, the problem lie with the fact that first day I had my new laptop, I installed Notebook Hardware Control, and I uninstalled it the same night.

    It must have broke some fixing in Vista; but at reinitialize my setting to default and all is back to normal.
