I recently upgraded my T60 to Vista, and it actually has a very similar power manager built in to the OS (you just won't get the cool battery features). When that doesn't work, I just use the slider (only available in the new power manager). If it doesn't set one day, it might set after the reboot. Although the power policies seem to not set sometimes, it doesn't seem like it permanently gets locked/broken either. It looks like the new power manager from Lenovo has fixed the problem somewhat.

For verification of the problem, start up the background process again by going to start-> run: you'll notice now (by referring to the registry's profile numbers) you can now set any profile in that list, even profile policies above #50.
