Go to Windows Menu->Control Panel->Power Options. Then click on "change plan details" for any plan. Then click on "Change Advanced Power Settings" hyperlink, and finally "change power settings that are currently unavailable" hyperlink to edit items that require administrative control. That will get you to a tree view of all power management settings available on the PC. There should be an entry called "Processor Power Management". Of course, we only have Vista on newer hardware. If you don't see those options, can I ask what sort of hardware are you using? Do you have power management disabled in your PC's BIOS?
