Default Laptop fan control

If you bought Vista installed on the machine, then the whole thing is Acer's
problem. Hopefully one of the whiz kids here can help you with a tweak.

On my Acer laptop (which I recently bought together with Vista Premium)
when
I go out of standby the fan doesn't stop running at max speed.
It doesn't make sense that, being power settings at min level, during
normal
operation it just switch on once in a while (and not even at max speed,
judging from its noise); and as soon as it wakes up it's impossible that
it
needs cooling down anything hot.

I wonder whether this is a buggy Vista driver rather than a poor hardware
design behavior, for which Acer would be responsible instead.
In the first case I would ask for suggestions on how to switch fan off
without rebooting the system each time (making standby feature useless).

Thanks a lot,
Ricardo
