By ComputerRepair.com | Computer Repair Help and Information at 24 July, 2009, 10:55 am
Are you having a problem installing AMD’s Cool and Quiet drivers on Windows Vista? This post has instructions on how to install it easily.
AMD’s Cool and Quiet technology allows your computer to go into a low power state when it doesn’t need to be using full power to run its processor. It’s a great way to make your computer more “green”.
With Windows XP, AMD provide drivers for the installation. For Vista, there appears to be no drivers available, at least publicly.
The solution to the issue is that the drivers are built into Vista.
To find a driver:
Go to Control Panel
Click on System
Click on Power Options
Pick a plan (any plan)
Click Change Plan Settings – For instance, beneath High Performance, click the blue text.
The first page you see shows you how the computer will behave when plugged in and when on battery power.
Click Change Advanced Power Settings and a dialog box will appear.
Scroll down in the list box until you see Processor Power Management
Click the little icon next to it
Here, you can set the minimum and maximum power states for the CPU while on battery, and while plugged in. Setting ranges will allow you to save battery power and electricity need to run your processor.
With the built-in drivers in Vista, it is easy to be more energy efficient.

Many, if not most, computer systems are vulnerable to these attacks. More evidence shows zero-day attacks remain the preferred choice of cybercriminals.
Today, a new unpatched Adobe vulnerability has [...]
