    I just clean installed Vista on my T61 and installed the ThinkVantage Utilities that I wanted. The only issue is that the gauge for the Power Manager hasn't been showing up, even after that option is selected in the options menu of the software. I installed the last ThinkVantage software about a week ago, so it's pretty up to date. Any ideas?

    For me, it started appearing after a few restarts.

    What's the best way to uninstall and re-install just the Power Manager software and not all of the utilities?

    Some software seems to disable the gauge. For instance, whenever I ran Maple Story, the gauge would disappear and only come back after a restart.

    I've restarted numerous times, but it doesn't seem to help...Again, can I just uninstall and re-install the Power Manager utility?
