New To Me T61 XP Pro No Battery Charge Display

#1 Post by JohnQ-FWB » Wed Apr 24, 2013 5:45 pm

Just got a new to me T61 Widescreen with XP Pro SP3 and the battery charge display in the Task Bar is not displaying. My other T61 Non-Widescreen with XP Pro SP3 does display the battery charge % in the task bar. How do I get the widescreen battery charge % to display in the task bar???

I read the readme and it did not include the T60/61's in the list of systems. Should I go ahead and download/install anyhow?

It might still work but starting with the T60/X60 series Lenovo released a different power manager (which still supports some older systems):
