Hi When I am writing on the keyboard of the NC10, the brightness of the screen will change after a while or if I am reading a document so that it is not very bright. I understand that this is probably a built-in setting so that when using the battery not as much power is being used. I would rather the screen stayed bright all of the time. I can bring back the bright screen by moving the mouse and waking it up so to speak. Is there a setting I can change? Sorry I am thinking maybe this problem is onloy when I am reading a document rather than when I am writjing. Eleanor -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
