this new power manager processes is a memory hog, and it makes me want to puke,

i've looked in services and in startup and haven't seen it, i'm pretty sure it's associated with the green battery icon next to the system tray, which i want to keep. if it is related to that icon, then it must also be related to:

(i'm using startupCPL)
PWRMGRTR - rundll32 C:\PROGRA~1\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWRMGRTR.DLL,PwrMgrBkGndMonitor

it confuses me though because, i used to have that disabled from startup, and had this one enabled instead:

BLOG - rundll32 C:\PROGRA~1\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\BatLogEx.DLL,StartBattLog

and i'd have the green batt icon, but then at some point the batt icon stopped showing up, and i enabled PWRMGRTR and disabled BLOG.

all i want is the battery icon w/ percentage!

i'm on power manager 1.51a now

now i'm realizing i have 2 seemingly different 1.51a versions of power manager, FnF3 and the start menu bring me to different ones. FnF3 brings me to a seemingly newer interface of power manager, a thinkvantage technologies thing pops up after i hit manage schemes, then to the main interface window, so strange, i've had problems with power manager since the get go, 2+ yrs now. it's never worked properly except to give me that green battery icon.

how can i get rid of this memory hog?
3rd party battery indicator?
