    Show Battery Life Remaining?

    Hey Just installed windows 7 on my hp mini 110. Find it a much more stable and efficient os for the hp mini instead of OS X.
    The install went great and windows update found updates for everything except the track pad.

    The only thing thats missing is showing the estimate time remaining for the battery. I don't know if its an option to show or what, but I also downloaded a desktop widget and it just shows 0min remaining. Anyway to fix this?

    In OSX it used to show, though it would sometimes be buggy as a 100% charge will show only 40min remain but at 80% it would show the correct time remaining.

    BTW: Battery life went up. Turned all the power savings to high and instead of getting around 3hrs for web browsing i'm getting minimum 3.5hrs :P Also the wifi and ram area doesn't get as hot anymore :mrgreen:

    thanks, batterybar is amazing. So precise.

    Just don't like how it takes up some of your taskbar, but at least it gives you important info.
