Can't change power settings

Hi,

I am trying to change my laptop settings so that the screen dims after 30 mins of not being used. When I try and click on 'powert options' in the control panel nothing happens. Any ideas whats going on?

    Do you have the original operating system disc?
    With the problems youve been having id recommend running a REPAIR from it
    :idea:
  • Yeah you are probably right although the 2 discs I was provided seem to just be backup discs so not too sure these are the OS discs. As its not really a big issue I'll probably just leave it thanks.
