Have you checked the manufactuer's (you never mentioned the brand) website
for a Vista compatible utility like the one provided for XP?
 
Not experiencing that here, Battery power is shown at all times, when it is
plugged in or running solely on batter power in the notification area. Right
click Taskbar > Properties > Notification Area (tab) > under "System icons"
make sure "Power" is checked.

Hi,

I have installed Vista on one of my notebooks harddrive's and I cannot find
any battery settings anywhere!

I have found power settings for sleep/power buttons and shutting the lid and
advanced settings for each power scheme but when I take out the AC cable and
run off battery, the screen brightness fades a bit lol, but no battery meter
or owt lol.

Anyone else in same situation or have a solution?
cheers,

I thought the battery monitor etc. came with the laptops O/S?

I have never seen on my Dad's laptop anywhere in XP itself that
tells you the power status... have only ever seen it on the 3rd
party power program that came with the laptop.

Need the system info on your notebook. Did you upgrade it to Vista (32 or 64
)or did you do clean install. Tell us everything you can.
 
ok, well i did a clean install on my second harddrive. Its a pretty average
notebook, Acer with Centrino processor.
