enabling PowerNow & PowerNow tab

[Bfavre444]

After getting my new Presario 900z laptop, I reformatted my hdd and installed windows XP fresh. But there's no PowerNow tab in power management. So I went on windowsupdate.com and installed SP1 for Win XP and still no PowerNow tab. I found some powernow drivers at compaq.com but it's not for the 900z, it's only for the Armada. I also saw a powernow registry method on microsoft.com but I don't want to do it that way.

I just want to enable PowerNow and have the PowerNow tab the good/official way. How did you guys get PowerNow after reinstalling windows xp?

Nope, I already have Dashboard. It just tells you the clock speed in realtime.
