Execute the following operations after logging on with administrator authority.
1
Input [c:\util\cpupower\setup.exe] in [start] - [Run], and select [OK].

• These operations will be helpful in alleviating the loss of data forwarding
performance that results from CPU power saving functions, but will not be
effective against performance losses resulting from other causes.
• These operations will reduce the battery operating time somewhat, so if no
error occurs, we recommend that you return the computer's settings to
[Battery (Windows XP Standard)] in [CPU Idle Setting].
