hey Karstux,

You can use the following workaround:
In the command type:

powercfg /l

My output is for example:

Existing Power Schemes (* Active)

Power Scheme GUID: 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e  (Balanced)

Power Scheme GUID: 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c  (High performance) *

Power Scheme GUID: a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a  (Power saver)

Now create a batch file with the following content, change the guid’s/names to the ones you got when executing powercfg /L:

@echo off

echo Wich Powerplan do you want to use?

echo [1] Balanced

echo [2] High performance

echo [3] Power saver

echo Powerplan: && set /p plan=



if %plan% == 1 set guid=381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e

if %plan% == 2 set guid=8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c

if %plan% == 3 set guid=a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a



runas /user:Administrator "cmd /c powercfg /setactive %guid%"

ping localhost -n 1 -w 1000>nul

echo.

echo Powerplan is now:

powercfg /L|find ") *"

echo.



pause

Example of execution:

C:UsersAdministratorDesktop>powercfg /l



Existing Power Schemes (* Active)

Power Scheme GUID: 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e  (Balanced)

Power Scheme GUID: 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c  (High performance) *

Power Scheme GUID: a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a  (Power saver)



C:UsersAdministratorDesktop>changePowerPlan.bat

Wich Powerplan do you want to use?

[1] Balanced

[2] High performance

[3] Power saver

Powerplan:

1

Enter the password for Administrator:

Attempting to start cmd /c powercfg /setactive 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260d

f2e as user "COMPUTER01Administrator" ...



Powerplan is now:

Power Scheme GUID: 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e  (Balanced) *



Press any key to continue . . .



C:UsersAdministratorDesktop>

You can tweak it by for example removing the pause and echo’s after the runas command or to use parameters so you can just make a shortcut for the different powerplans and only enter your password when changing.

Hope this helps you a bit! 😉

Hey Steve, I also did a try to run the Vista Migration Wizard (copied from the Vista SP1 C:WindowsSystem32migwiz folder and downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2B6F1631-973A-45C7-A4EC-4928FA173266 and manually unpacked), but they didn’t work. I added this tool to the wishlist. For now the only option is to move your files and settings manually…

Hello Niptech, I don’t have run any benchmarks yet, so for now you have to do it with the results from this benchmark. I will do a benchmark myself as soon as possible and post the results in an article on the home page! 😉

I don’t have a TV Tuner card in my pc here, so I can’t help you. As you might have seen there is a topic about this problem on the Microsoft TechNet forums, but they don’t have a solution yet… 😕 The only thing we can do is waiting and keep our eyes open!
