By changing the options that appear in the Power Saver
Properties dialog box and clicking
OK
, you can reconfigure
that function. You may choose a power-saving management
strategy to best suit your computing needs. If you are running
on batteries and the programs that you are using do not
require a lot of system resources, you may experience longer
work sessions by enabling the Normal setting. Any options
that you change become the active settings when you exit the
program. (You do not have to restart your system before they
become active settings.)
