    I see the green battery in the tool bar but nothing happens when I right click and select "launch Power Manager". Also, nothing happens when I click on "Power Controls". The only way I can adjust the power settings is through Win 7's "Power Options" in Control Panel. I see the red "Power Manager" icon there but again nothing happens when I click on it. I did an uninstall and reinstall of "Power Manager" but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Do you have the Power Management driver installed? You need to install the driver first, then install the Power Management software.

    Does it run on the old C++ 2005 redistributable? I uninstalled C++ 2005 previously since I have C++ 2008. I also reinstalled the Power Manager and the driver. Now the Power Manager is working but I also see C++ 2005 again.
