    Where does it display "time remaining" when off AC power?

    I have a dv2415nr running windows vista home premium, and in the taskbar, all it tells me is the percentage of battery life remaining...like 97% or 92% etc...

    In XP it would tell me both percentage and time remaining

    Anyone know?

    This isnt a Vista or an XP issue but HP batteries do not show the time remaining. They just display the percent charge.
