Is there a version of Battery Maximizer for the R40 running Vista 32-bit?

I have an old R40 / 2896-GZU
I recently upgraded to Vista and found the power management driver V1.67.xx.xx which I installed,
but it seems to just be a low-level driver.
I'd like to attempt to condition the battery as was possible with the "Battery Maximizer" software under XP,
but can not find a version of BM that works on the R40 for the Vista OS. Will the XP version run or is there another option?
ThinkVantage System update V3.16 does not appear to function with the combination of the R40 + Vista as it comes back with no updates at all  
Thanks,
Jim
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You're looking at two somewhat different sets of problems here:
a) R40 was never shipped with Vista so any drivers that might come up on the web are likely hacked ones, with no guarantee on how well they'll work.
b) The GPU is not supported by Vista or any of the newer MS operating systems, which adversely affects the entire power setting and is guaranteed to be at least a part of your problem.
Personally, I'd throw Linux on it and call it a day but that's me.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

  • Is there Full Version MSI installer package for the last version of Adobe Reader?

    Is there Full Version MSI installer package for the last version of Adobe Reader?
    Where can we find it?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The full MSI installer for the latest 9.5.0 release is available at:
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.5.0/en_US/AdbeRdr950_en_US.msi
    However, there is no full MSI installer available for the latest 10.1.2 release, since it wasn't a single dot release. The Reader 10.1.2 installer is available as a MSP file which can be applied onto the Reader 10.1.0 or Reader 10.1.1 installation.
    You could also create an AIP for the latest 10.1.2 release, which would give you a single MSI installer along with the extracted files. Please have a look at the below mentioned document for more details on the same:

  • Is there a version of Microsoft Access for the Mac computer

    I was wondering if there was a version of Microsoft Access for the Mac computer.  Most of the databases I have on my old computer are in Access and I need to be able to open them on my new Mac Book. 

    Full Disclosure as per Apple Support Communities terms and Conditions: I am affiliated with the site linked to in this response.
    Although Access for Mac isn't available, there are some apps which allow you to open Access databases on Mac. They don't allow you to access forms, reports and VBA modules but they do allow you to visualize the data. Although this isn't perfect, they're far easier and cheaper than having to install Windows on your Mac and then install Access if you only need to view Access databases.
    Which one you use really depends on what you need to do. They can be summarized as:
    MDDB ACB Viewer - Probably the best of the lot as it open both old and new Access files and exports to Apple Numbers
    MDB Tool - Very simple to use but not for Access 2010+
    MDB Explorer - Exports to SQLLite but requires an upgrade for Access 2007+ files
    ACCDB MDB Explorer - Very limited editing of databases but supports multiple ACCDB databases
    MDB Lite - Only works with Access 2003 files but very easy to use
    Hope this helps as a basic overview of the main tools available but if you you can find a more in-depth look at Access for Mac software here.

  • Is there an iPod Shuffle battery pack for the 512MB

    M9759G/A says it's only compatible with the 1GB and NOT the 512mb... is this true, or is there another solution.

    says it's only compatible with the 1GB and NOT the 512mb
    That's not what it says.
    It states it's compatible with the 1st Generation iPod.
    The 1st Generation iPod Shuffle came in 512MB or 1GB versions.
    This is compatible with both.

  • Is there a manual I can PRINT for the Airport Utility Software Version 5.5.3 for Windows?

    Is there a manual I can print for the Airport Utility Software Version 5.5.3 for Windows?
    If there is, I can't seem to find it anywhere (in the Software, by using Google, etc).

    I dont' believe there were manuals out there for different versions of the utility. That would be quite a few different manuals.
    There are different manuals for the different base stations however...

  • Is there a version of PROMOB program for MAC?

    is there a version of PROMOB program for MAC? if not, can I run the windows version, and what do I have to do?

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    I need to add just one more thing and that is on battery life.  Last night I sat with the rMBP on my lap installing software, surfing the web, answering emails for close to 4 and 1/2 hours.  At the point I took it back to the charger it still was showing a computed battery time remaining of 3.5 hours.
    Today I had two VMs open and took the machine of the charger and sat outside with my dogs for about 30 minutes.  During this time I was working in both VMs, editing and compiling code.  My battery life estimate showed a good solid 4 hours. 
    This is roughly 6 times greater than what I had with my 2010 MBP and it too had a SSD.  I am not sure why but this retina MBP just seems to not work as hard doing anything that caused my 2010 MBP to struggle.
    While the battery life is certainly better than I expected it is clear that load can change that very rapidly. So I think I still need to visit clients with an external battery or charger in hand.  But I don't think I will be quite so scared that my laptop will simply run out of power before I can even get it plugged in.

  • Wll there be a flash player download for the ipad 2 at any point?

    Wll there be a flash player download for the ipad 2 at any point

    While no one can say with absolute certainty, at this time it appears to be highly unlikely that a version of Flash Player will ever appear for iOS. Adobe has said that they've given up work on a version for iOS, so unless they change their minds at some point, and can come up with a version that would meet Apple's criteria for performance, security and stability, then Kappy is correct that no, it won't happen.

  • SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

    I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis.  For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis.  I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...".  I choose moving average.  I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
    When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period".  The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5).  When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
    I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users.  At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart.  Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
    Thank you,
    Dan

    I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
    If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
    <ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
                      <Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
    </ChartFormulaParameter>
    What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
    A side note:
    If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

  • I just downloaded the newest reconfigured version of iTunes, and for the first time ever my content is all screwed up.  Specifically, all of my playlists are gone, so are my apps.  However, the music library is intact.   Any ideas?  Thanks.............

    I just downloaded the newest reconfigured version of iTunes, and for the first time  ever my content is all screwed up.  Specifically, all of my playlists are gone, so are my apps.  The good news is that my music library is intact and that I've got more than one device with everything as it should be on them; the bad news is that my PC does not recognise my devices and keeps defaulting to " lets sync your devices to this new computer loose all of the playlists I've spent years compiling".  I don't get it.  Any ideas?
