    Battery level indicator gone

    Hey all.

    Bought a new laptop a few weeks ago.

    Obviously came with loads of crap i didnt need, so i uninstalled some stuff.

    Now i dont have an indicator in my tool tray to let me know how much battery life i have left.

    My laptop is an Asus F5SL with Windows Vista.

    Any ideas? I dont really want to have to format to get it back. Iv googled stuff but had no luck.

    Thanks

    Ian

    Check the 'Power Options' on the Windows Control Panel for the show on Taskbar checkbox - should be under one of the first two tabs ('Advanced' I think) ??!!

    Re: Battery level indicator gone

    I have one on my windows sidebar, but id much prefer one on my tool tray.

    Its annoying because if i go into control panel, mobile pc, and then click windows mobility centre, a box pops up with different things such as: display brightness; volume; battery level; internet; display; sync partnerships; and presentations.

    Under the battery bit it shows how much is left. So why isnt it showing in my tool tray.

    And jw007, i cant find that.

    Im running Vista btw.

    Thanks.
