    I've been trying to install Vista Battery Saver for a couple of days, and every time, the progress bar takes forever to get to the end, and then it gets stuck in the last part. I left the installation run for a few hours but nothing else happens. Can I get some help?

    I would also like to know how to overcome this hurdle in installing Vista Battery Saver. This is the exact same thing that happens to me when I try and install it.

    ive ran into the same problem myself. the fix is, after the progress bar gets all the way to the end, the vista battery saver icon appears in the system tray. just right click and exit out, and that'll complete the install properly.
