Other interesting thing I’ve found is that when my machine is set to the High Performance power plan, it has trouble going to sleep. But on Balanced … music and movies don’t play as well. Sigh.

Aus, check the setting in the power saver option. It should say it automatically adjust the settings based on AC status.

Tris — yup, aero looks good at first but it doesn’t add up productivity in the long run.

I had the same issue. I uninstalled it and then realized that as much as I liked the Sidebar and Aero, I like RAM for applications more!

hmm, if you plug AC back in Aero is not enabled again, I need to reboot to get Aero back, I cannot even manually enable it!!
