Speedstep doesn't work

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hello,
I've got an Acer Travelmate 81001. My Problem is that Intel's Speedstep
doesn't work. I can chose between minmum and maximum CPU frequency.
That's all. No dynamic CPU frequency switching, neither on battery nor
on AC. The ePowerManagement-Driver from Acer is installed. I tried to
find an Speedstep-driver in the net, but didn't find one. It should be
included in Windows XP. The little tool "Speedswitch XP" isn't working
on my laptop either.

Using Linux everything works fine! Even my old Acer Travelmate 661i was
able to do dynamic CPU frequency switching using Win XP, but why cann't
my new one?????

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Karsten

Idea 1: This is an Acer Travelmate 8101?

Idea 2: Try the Speedstep/Enhanced Speedstep FAQ at this site:

Idea 3: What does your user manual suggest?

i use Centrino Hardware Control, ditched the one that came from ASUS
and Intel, it works great...to me.

But the price is the best part...zip zero nada!

Can anyone suggest other software that is similar??

nothing!

I've uninstalled the Acer ePowerManagement driver once again. Dynamic
switching seems to work now (limited). The CPU speed switches between
minimum and maximum, better than nothing.



thanks,

I've just downloaded and installed the software. Seems to work.

Thanks a lot!
