Battery Meter
My battery meter shows the remaining power only as a percentage and not as a
specific time (which is my preferred option). I am running Vista on a Toshiba laptop. Is there a way to fix this in Vista or is it part of the laptops design? |

The remaining time on a battery is a direct function of the workload being
placed on the PC. For example if you are using the Laptop to watch DVD movies that remaining time will be one heck of a list then if you are just working on a document or a spreadsheet. And since this is not constant there is now way for Vista to estimate it. "CJP89" wrote in message ...

I thought something was wrong because I know that XP laptops update to show
the remaining time according to the stress on the system. Also I know some people that downloaded gadgets that did this for them on Vista, I have tried this and it still doesn't work. I was hoping that there would be some setting to fix this. "JW" wrote: The remaining time on a battery is a direct function of the workload being placed on the PC.
