Hi.
Im having a few problems with the IBM battery gauge program.
If i double click on the battery icon shown on the taskbar, it opens the program, but doesnt show any profiles at all. And if i try to create a new one, it lets me go though the process, but doesnt save?
Also, if i try to access the profiles through the productivity center, it says: 'You are not authorised to display the panel for selecting a power scheme'. If i press ok, it brings me to the profile selection menu, but again, there are no profiles there at all. (It also moves the mouse pointer to the bottom right of the screen when i click 'ok').

Whats going on?

Thanks in advance all.

It sounds like you are logged in as a limited user. You need to have administrative privileges to see and change certain settings.

Hmmm, I don't know then. I encounter the problems you have only when I am in a limited account. Hopefully others can help you.

Ive been trying to find the download link on the Lenovo website for the power manager program so i can reinstall it. But i cant find it anywhere. Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Go to the Downloads and Drivers site.

Ive managed to download and install it.
The error messages have gone away, but all the profiles bar a presentation one have gone, and it still wont let me create new ones?

Ideas?

Hmm. It appears you are correct about the permissions thing.
Ive gone to a backup login account i have, and power manager works normally there.
I set my main account to limited, rebooted, then back to administrator, but still, no difference. It appears to be something in IBM software that isnt reading my main account as an administrator anymore.

Ideas?

Which model ThinkPad do you have; i.e. T42, T60, Z60m, etc.
