Should we run both? After having issues with Thinkvatages Access and the built in Vista wifi controller, I deleted the Thinkvatage Access.

Im thinking to delete the Thinkvantage power management as well. The only two benefits I see are the remaining charge time (which is always painfun) and the interesting battery iformation (build date, model number etc). Good bad? keep delete?

I vote keep it.

i say keep it, it doesn't hurt the system in any way... if you even remove the thing from the taskbar you wont even remember it's installed but it's nice to pull up to check the actual Whrs left on your battery.

The only issue I can think of is, as some people more knowledgeable than me have said in this forum, that when you come out of hibernation while on battery power, you are likely to get a BSOD. I have experienced this myself. Some forum members suspect that this is due to TV power manager. I really don't know if power manager is the culprit, but the conditions (out of hibernation while on bp) are true, at least for me (with Vista Business, but never with XP Pro).
