Windows 7: Adjust Brightness brings up Power Plan settings!

I just noticed that in Display properties, the Adjust Brightness brings up the power plan settings....

Hello Limneos,

What build is this from?

That window is different than in the 7000 Beta build version, but it works fine here.

Yeah, I too do not have the Adjust Brightness option....

I have the same in 7000 as Shawn's.

Hmm...It's the pre-beta 7000 build, not the official one...but I think it's because it's a notebook...I have adjust brightness in Windows Mobility Center which works, I guess it's a bug but you need to have a notebook to see the "Adjust Brightness" link

I'm not sure since I do not have a laptop.

However, if you like you can get the Beta verision here with a product key to activate it. Hopefully it will work better for you.

Download the Windows 7 Beta

Yes, and at the bottom of that screen you can adjust the brightness. Seems logical to me.

PS: I have the Adjust Brightness option too on my notebook

Thanks Brink, I have both versions downloaded since Friday and a bunch of keys...(I was even giving away keys to some desperate people that night )
I just left that notebook (of my girlfriend) as it was, all my other PCs have the official beta, in which by the way, I see no difference at all with the 7000 "pre-beta". I believe it's the same install in every single file.

hethoofd, if it has brightness at the bottom, then I must have missed that. I thought it brought up an irrelevant page.

it appears that after reading a boatload of posts that if your graphics card cant handle aero like my old intel card in my toughbook cf 18 and intel didnt or is not going to upgrade the driver, screen brightness adjustment just wont happen I thank god at least on my toughbook it set at high screen brightness the only problem is that on this laptop it is super bright even brighter that your most common bear
