    On one of my laptops, a LG LT20, that I've installed Windows Vista on, in power profiles & mobility center, the brightness slider is inverted.

    So on default, when the AC is plugged in, the screen is dark, and when I unplug the AC adapter, the screen becomes brighter.

    What I mean is, when the display brightness slider is moved to the left, the backlight becomes brighter, and when the slider is moved to the right, the display becomes dimmer.

    There is probably no chance for a BIOS update to fix this, so does anyone know of an option in the registry that I could change to reverse this setting?
