Default Pentium M not stepping down - Heat issues

I installed Windows Vista last night and am experiencing trouble with getting
the CPU to step down on my 1.7GHz Dell Inspiron 8600. I was wondering why
the fans were running constantly when the task manager didn't have any tasks
actively using the CPU. Upon installing I8kfangui, I noticed that the CPU
wasn't stepping down to 600 MHz like it did in XP. I checked the BIOS
version, and it is the newest - A14. Has anyone else seen this or been able
to fix it? I can't use Vista full time until I find some way to step the CPU
down as it is too noisy for the classroom.

Thanks in advance!
-Derek
