If you'd like to try out the fan and brightness utility, please download it here. The utility has the following features:
* Change brightness in 8 steps
* Change fan speed in three steps
* Remembers settings (put it in your startup directory)
* Remembers settings and switches between them when you change from AC to battery.
Known issues:
* When comming back from standby or hibernate, changing the fan speed wont work before you run the tpsmain.exe program.
The program is supposed to replace the Toshiba Power Management software, and works great together with the Notebook Hardware Control.

As I posted in a comment on your page, my utility is smaller than the Toshiba software.
I'm using it together with another utility for undervolting my cpu (to save the battery and minimize the heat produced from the cpu).
To The Thebithead:
Interesting question! I really don't know, but would guess that you're right. All I wanted with the utility was to replace the functionality for changing the fan speed and the brightness. Do you have a suggestion for another name?
Cooling Method sounds much better. Thanks! I'll update the utility.
Hi, this sounds great!
Just a detail here: when I look at the task manager, PwrCtrl takes 8mb of ram, wich is more than tpsmain, is it normal?

This utility works great. I use it on my M200 for one month, no problems.
Thank you!!!
(In combination with NHC.)
