Windows Vista Brightness Issue

Vista Brightness worked well, but whenever I closed my laptop's lid and opened it again, Windows vista started with very low brightness. The laptop's brightness keys also were not working. So I searched and came up against this article and hence got the solution.

The Solution was

1. Goto Control Panel > Power Options
2. Click on adjust Display Brightness.
3. I used the slider to select full brightness for both 'On Battery' and 'Plugged In'
4. Press 'Save Changes'
5. I switched off the power and switched it back on and hence got the full brightness I required.
