Batteries and Power

[Sandeep5354]

Power saver went well for past 3 years. But now as soon as i open toshiba power saver settings it displays a message- X FATAL ERROR HAS OCCURED. THIS PROGRAM WILL BE TERMINATED. CODE 0X0.

If i check 'ok' then power saver option closes automatically. But if i ignore this messege i can still change settings in the toshiba power saver options.

Also i am getting my battery in the toolbar as 101% charged. Before it showed 100% charged.

I have noticed that now the battery discharges with double or triple speed. earlier battery back up was abt 35-40 mins now it is abt 15 mins.

Have tried to reinstall power saver software but of no use.

Also i would like to add that there is no fatal error when i dont use ac mode.

Try reinstalling these two Toshiba utilities in this order.

   Toshiba ACPI Common Modules for Windows XP/2000

   Toshiba Power Saver Utility for Windows XP/2000

Hi jerry

As stated earlier I had reinstalled both these utilities in that order but of no use.

Also pls tell me why power saver works fine when i am on battery mode but displays fatal error when i am using ac adaptor mode.Also is there any other sofware which i can use as a substitute.

is the battery consumption really more if i dont use this software. Can i use the inbuilt power management with the same result.?
