I had the same problem with my Vibrant 166. I recommend
you consider installing a CPU Cooling Utility (RAIN 2.0).
Since installing RAIN, my laptops run much cooler and the
CPU fans run less often. Since one had a noisey fan, that
was a greater concern for me than the heat ;)

RAIN is easy to install and there's *NO* apparent
performance loss. It may also prolonged battery life.
RAIN works with AMD, Cyrix and Pentium CPUs and comes with it's own uninstall option in the Start Menu if you decide
not to keep it. RAIN is small (less than 120Kb download)
and best of all ... it's FREE!

RAIN 2.0 can be downloaded at:

http://www.notebookreview.com/Rain20.zip

Double-click on the downloaded file and it will install
itself. Just install and forget it. It installs a folder
in the Start Menu called Rain; however, it loads
automatically when you boot your PC and places an icon in
the systray by the clock.

If you see the 3 Raindrops on the icon - it's working. To
disable Rain, right-click on the icon and the raindrops
will disappear - indicating it's disabled. To re-enable it,
just right-click again.

Hope this helps ... John
