Battery Maximizer

#1 Post by TimWang » Tue Aug 30, 2005 2:40 pm

Just a quick question, after I install Battery Maximizer, where do I access it? I've tried searching for the program but it doesn't show up. Did I install it incorrectly?

You probably just extracted the files. If you had installed it, it would be automatically loaded. So, go to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\BMMPM (default location) or wherever you extracted the setup files and run the setup.exe.

Provided that it is installed as dokein mentioned (this shouldn't be necessary if you use ThinkVantage Software Installer, but would be necessary if you downloaded the files yourself from IBM), go to: Start > All Programs > Access IBM > Battery Maximizer Wizard. If you choose when running Battery Maximizer Wizard, an Icon is placed in your system tray showing a battery and an electrical plug. Click on the icon for features.

Ah, I must've mistaken the extraction process as the setup program. Thanks for the help guys, problem fixed :D

BTW, is this program useful? I just ran the program and there doesn't seem to be many new features.

Battery Maximizer has some features in XP that don't come up in Win98 such as the ability to fine tune the CPU performance with "Adaptive CPU" settings.

Battery Maximizer, will allow you to fine tune not only battery performance buy over all System performance too.

you can manage global power settings
those two are ehanced features from what XP offers to you.

but main feature is battery Information and battery maintenance these setting will help you to improve battery Life and monitor battery health.

In One line " it's worth installing it".
