Prev: I'm confused. Which driver uses the Crysis Hotfix?
Next: Should I go Dual Core or Quad Core? Intel C2 DUO E6850 vs. Quad-Core Q6600
From: tek on 29 Dec 2007 03:48 I have noticed a strange phenomenon on my Vostro 1000. I have Windows XP Home and the MS Plus! screensavers installed. The video adaptor is the ATI Radeon Xpress 1150. I specifically have the Robot Circus screensaver active. When the battery is fully charged and the laptop is using the AC power the screensaver works normally. If I switch to batter power the screensaver works normally. But when I reconnect the AC adaptor to re-charge the battery the screensaver is interrupted about every 1-2 minutes. The wait time starts over again but after 1-2 minutes of running it's interrupted again. This continues until the battery is fully charged.

Does this have something to do with the powersaving options? Maybe you should play around with what turns off when AC or DC is used... -- The Zero ST
