| 64BIT HOME PREMUIM | Power Options Hi, I have set up a power plan in Vista Home Premuim 64Bit on my laptop. Is there anyway to have the laptop change to that plan when its plugged into the mains and stay on another one when its on battery? Or do I have to keep changing it? Can you let me know, Thanks Wizkid |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Power Options You would only need to make the changes once to your power plan for each of the On Battery and Pluged in settings. The only time you would need to change anything is if you just wanted to.  |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Power Options See the Power Options link to help understand a bit more on this. You will not need to switch to a different power plan when you are on battery vs plugged in. Instead, all you have to do is set, in that one power plan, how you want your power settings to be automatically for when you are on battery vs plugged in. |
