That option on my laptop is in the same location as above but called "Fan Always on while on AC power".

To get into the BIOS you'll need to hit a key at startup, look for the prompt during the boot sequence, it's usually on the Dell splash screen at the very beginning. I have some dell workstations and servers and it's F2 to enter the BIOS on those but it may be different on your laptop.
This comp is nearly 2.5 yrs. old and is not a mobile processor, so I don't have that option. loney:[/quote:4e4d5]
