    Hello
    I installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 on my IFL 90 and I installed Smart battery (the .12) version and it doesn't seem to be working. The icon doesn't appear in the notification area and the battery keeps charging. Any fixes?
    Thank you

    I installed in compatibility mode for Vista SP1 and it's working fine for me. Right click the install file and go to Troubleshoot Compatibility. I'm also using version 1.0.0.10 which might make a difference.

    Smart battery (10.0.0.10) doesn't work with me too even if I installed it in compatibility mode. I have windows seven RC 64bit, before I have tested seven beta 1 in 32 bits and 64 bits and smart battery only work on seven beta 32 bit. Perhap it is the same thing with seven RC.

    I tried installing with Compatibility mode and still no luck. I have the 64 bit version of Windows 7, and I've tried everything I could think of, even running the program as an administrator, still no luck... :(

    I've never had any problems with it. I'm now on RTM 64 bit and it works fine as well. How are you installing and what does it do?

    Copy the folder "Smart Battery" from "C:\Program Files (x86)" to "C:\Program Files". Then Smart Battery 1.0.0.12 works.
