I have a VAIO VGN-SZ240P that I'm running WinXP SP3 on. In general it is a fine machine, but the cooling fan is quite loud. Does anybody know of a tool that I can use to view and manage the fan speed? I tried the latest SpeedFan beta, but it doesn't see the fan.

Does this apply to you?

looks like it may have a power saving option, with fan speed options. icon possibly in control panel.
somebody here mentioned for his VAIO http://www.notebookforums.com/thread99131-2.html "If you open up the VAIO control panel, youll see power management, click on the +, then select power options, when the power options properties opens up click on the
"VAIO POWER MANAGEMENT" tab, look under system, thermal and you can choose "performance" or "quiet".
I have a BZ VAIO and my fan was very loud but since I put it on quiet its hardly noticeable, my temps are around 95f, very cool!!"
