    Hi,

    I just purchased an 8710w but my battery doesn't last for longer than 100min and in the reviews i've read that it can last for a lot longer. How do i put it into power save mode and what can I do to get the most operating time out of the battery? I'm using XP.

    Also is there a program I can use to check whether or not my battery is functioning properly?

    Regards
    Thomas
