turns off the display after a time interval you specify.

To change the current power scheme to a default or previously set
power scheme, use either of the following procedures:
■
Double-click the Power Meter icon in the taskbar, then select
any displayed power scheme.
■
Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance icon > Power Options icon > Power Schemes
tab, select the power scheme from the power schemes list,
then select the OK button.
Creating or Changing a Power Scheme
To set or change a power scheme:
1. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance icon > Power Options icon > Power Schemes
tab. Then:
❏
To set a new power scheme, select the Save As button,
type a name for the new scheme in the field for Save This
Power Scheme As, then select the OK button. (The new
scheme is displayed in the Power Schemes field on the

the new power scheme from the Settings lists.
