On my T42 I lost the display in the taskbar that shows how much time I have left on the battery. The battery icon is still there but not the time read out. When I go into power management I can't seem to find it. What is that particular utility called so I can look it up on IBM's site?

Is it the Battery Maximizer that you're looking for?

It's the readout with the green background in the taskbar that actually shows what percentage of the battery is still left. The battery icon is in the taskbar but I lost the readout and don't know how to get it back.

To get back the Battery Maximiser icon on the Taskbar, run the program (Start>Access IBM>Battery Maximiser). There will be a box you need to check (something like "Display Battery MaxiMiser Gauge on the system tray").

Hope this helps.

For some reason I can't find it. I go to Access IBM>Power Manager>Battery Information. I click on options and check "show power manager guage in task bar" but it doesn't come up in the taskbar.. I'm looking to get the green background digital readout that shows the percentage of how much battery power is left.
When I went to Access IBM there is no "Battery Maximzer" to check. Is there a utility I have to download? I downloaded Power manager from IBM's site but it still isn't working.
