Battery remaining not showing time

I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium and as long as I got it, he has never shown the estimated time remaining when I check my battery life in the taskbar.  Does anyone know how to activate it?  I can't find it.

Hello

It shows only one percent of use, try the free utilities below for more info and here are a few

You can also check with the manufacturer of system and forums that many use their own
proprietary software to monitor the battery and they could be known problems with your battery.

  • Satellite A500 does not show 'time remaining' for the battery

    I just bought Satellite A500 with Windows 7 and I noticed one thing, it is that there is no "remaining time" for the battery?

    My former use A100 to display the time remaining on the power but not Windows 7, all I get is a remaining percentage... makes it go for all of the A500 running windows 7 or is - it something wrong with my new computer?

    I guess that the Win 7 drivers should be released in the near future, it seems that Toshiba is driver downloading
    Then maybe after the driver version complete you will get this battery notification allows you to see how it will work

  • Portege M400 battery does not show the true situation

    I had a M400 for quite awhile. It was working fine when I got it. At that point, I was running Vista RC1. After Vista RTM was released I was however not very good battery life (40-50 minutes at 100% load).

    At first, I thought that the battery had gone back, but I have a few other batteries and an another Toshiba. When I brought a 100% charged battery showing nearly 4 hours of battery life on my M200, he showed 50minutes in my M400.

    I installed the latest version of the BIOS but no change. Is there any utility calibration of battery or other things I could try. One thing I noticed is that the fan is running most of the time at full speed.

    Hello

    Please don t compare the Portege M200 with M400. Battery life is not the same on different laptops!
    Additional there know that the battery performance are much weaker with Vista and laptop running Vista waste far more energy than the laptop even under XP.

  • 2 OS3.0 not showing time to look

    Long time Apple Watch (series 1 day) user first time series 2/OS 3.0 (today about five hours ago), but I can not get the temperature appears on my screen.  I've tried everything I can think of, including restart, by selecting different cities, changing rain in time, etc., but shows absolutely no temp complications, even if the time display in the weather app or when I press the complication for details.

    Never happened before on my old Watch (and I sold it so I can't say if it is a problem of OS 3.0 or not, even if my friend with a series 1 with 3.0 has not had the problem with the same city).  Any ideas on what to try before I contact support (this is kind of a big deal as temp is an important part of my day of planning and to see that the watch is something I rely on without having to dive into more details).

    Hello

    It can help to disable the twinning and re - pair your watch:

    To clarify, series 1 does not refer to the previous, first generation watch. He referred to a new Apple Watch model that has the same characteristics as the original Apple Watch, with the exception of a new dual-core processor.

  • Clock will not show time. PC running XP.

    I'm having a problem with my clock keeping time. I tried everything, including the suggested "fix" and nothing works. This seems to happen with the computer turned off. I've seen the suggestion about the battery, which I have not tried. There are all the other remedies you can suggest?  Thank you.

    There are a few things that can cause a loss of time (or gain), in Windows. The CMOS battery has been suggested, and you should check the BIOS of your computer to check before replacing, but only after resetting the BIOS by default. But it could be that the Servicde of time Windows is interrupted.

    1. click on Start, click on run. Type cmd , and then click OK.

    2. at the command prompt, type net start w32time and press enter>.

    The time service starts. If it has not been started, test when it is market so it can sync with time.windows.com. If the system maintains time in Windows, it could very well be the CMOS battery. If the computer is connected to a UPS, I remove as well and plug directly into the wall just to test.

  • Chronology in PrE8 not showing times

    I noticed that in prE8 I can't see the time in my schedule. It shows white just above my calendar that when I move the playhead, it shows the time. I'd like know how to get it to appear again! Thank you

    It seems that your computer is not able to refresh quite quickly. There could be a number of reasons for this.

    What is your processor and how much RAM do you have? How much free, freshly defragmented space is on your hard drive? What graphics card you have? What operating system do you use? The program works before and suddenly stopped or it has been like that since the beginning?

    Try to start the program while pressing the left Ctrl, Alt, and shift keys.

    Go to the menu of the program window, and then select restore workspace.

    Go to Edition/Preferences, then set it to timeline scrolling Page rather than scroll.

  • Satellite A500 - Vista and Windows 7 do not show remaining battery time

    This is the case even on my Satellite A210 with installed Win 7.
    In my view there s nothing wrong with that, but it is simply a property of Windows 7.
    The battery power is displayed in percent

    You can use an additional tool like BatteryBar 3.0 in order to display a time...

  • When I download something at this time, it displays the logo of microsoft word, but does not show the picture logo .so I can do now

    When I download an image with Firefox than time, it shows only the Microsoft word logo but do not show the logo of the photo, so when I open the download file it show only the Microsoft word file. and I don't see my folder. but now what can I do?...

    What file extension, these files get when save you them?

    If they do not have a file extension valid for a picture as a .jpg or .png then try to rename the files and give them an extension of .jpg file to see if that helps.

    If Windows hides the file extension and then use quotes ("image.jpg") around the name.

    You can check the type of file using the context menu > properties.

    When connected to the charger make a forced reboot: hold the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, release the buttons. May take a few tries.

  • Use 6 s more: iPhone battery is not displayed and the time standby and use are the same, even I do not use it

    Hello. I just bought an Iphone 6s MORE and just updated to iOS 9.2 and I had this problem with applications that consume my battery is to say the list of applications that drain the battery does NOT appear when I click on settings > battery. And also I meet another problem that is my standby and usage time appeared at the same time even if I SLEEP there during the entire period. Someone of you this problem? If yes kindly share here how you can solve the problem

    Force restart the phone now sleep and home for 10 seconds, button until the Apple logo comes back again.

    You won't lose data, but which can cure some problems after installing new software.

    The same use and waiting time is a sign for some applications, always running in the background, even when the phone is in standby. Restart will force close those apps.

    The list of applications appears only when you used some applications for some time.

  • Battery will not charge. Display shows the extreme right red bars on the battery symbol and a white symbol for wire candle underneath.

    Two places of charger and different threads. The phone appears with a black screen, only this time with a RED bar to the left, showing the horizontal (usually green inside status bar) symbol which indicates a REALLY low battery and a NEW symbol for what looks like a power outlet under. See photo. Phone was unusable, while it is plugged. I pressed the two buttons necessary to reset and nothing happened for several minutes. While I put the phone down for a while, then only made the Apple logo appeared in a reboot. Surprised it took at least a minute or two to turn it back on. Clues as to what it all means? Or was - this all simply SO sink for battery charging that it adds this symbol of the additional card on the screen?

    You hear the sound of loading when you connect the phone to the computer or adapter?

    Leave it connected to the adapter for at least 30 minutes, then check again if the battery charge during this time. Before you connect, make sure that the docking port is free of any debris or lint build-up, which may prevent it from loading.

    The phone is recognized by iTunes if you connect it to the computer. You use the original adapter and USB cable provided with the phone?
