How can I tell if PowerNow! is active on my Compaq 715US laptop (Windows XP-Home)and how do I activate it in the first place?
Compaq’s technical support has told me that there should be a PowerNow! tab in the Power applet of Control Panel; it isnot there. They have also told me to look in Add/Remove Programs for an AMD program; it is not there. I am currently awaiting a call from the second level of Compaq’s tech support (probably Monday).
Microsoft has a fix (Q306458) consisting of a new driver for the processor and a new key for the registry; that didn’t work either.
AMD has not answered my e-mail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
