No, there was lots of free space, around 20GB. I did try something today --
removed several DVD images being stored on that drive. That freed up another
12GB.

I have exactly the same probelm on my Toshiba Satellite - ever since I
installed Vista, before SP1 in fact. There is no option 'Adjust Display
Brightness' in Power Management not a tile to do so in Mobility Center. I
have not found a fix for it but have found that when you do a Restart the
system starts with full brightness. Keep the mains cable connected and full
brightness is maintained when you next shut down and switch on again.
Mystifying.....
