Hi, My name is Joe.

Today I noticed that on my laptop bottom toolbar, the battery life logo wasn’t there. Its windows vista. I already tried right-clicking the toolbar, going to properties and I tried clicking power but its solid. I can only click the clock box. Can somebody please help me??

C-eek - i actually am not sure of this one, since its Vista! (i have so far avoided Vista :P)

However, if its the same as XP…

You eant to go to control panel
then look for “power options”
click the “advanced” tab
and then put a check in the box that says “always show icon on toolbar”
click ok

and there ya go :)

It /should/ (not sure though) be the same in Vista

I tried looking for advanced tab but it was just power settings. BUT, this morning I tried to do it again and for some odd reason the box was click-able. Thanks anyway :]
