| 577083 | 2007-08-06 07:01:00 | i have a notebook with vista installed, it gives you 3 power options, the 1. balanced, 2 the power saver, 3 the hight performance. no matter which one i choose they always but your notebook into hibernate when the battery has 10% left. it is so annoying 4 me because for some reason i just want the battery to run dead, are there any way to stop the hibernate function? there must be a way but i just can't find it. any sort of help will be appreciated. thank you so much. |

| 577085 | 2007-08-06 09:48:00 | thanks for the reply. but the thing is: Under "Battery-critical battery actions", there are 3 actions: sleep, shut down and hibernate. what i really want is it does nothing until the battery dies. but there is no such a choice as "do nothing". are there anyway that i can make it "do nothing" when the battery reaches critical level? thanks |

| 577088 | 2007-08-08 12:13:00 | you will also find that most laptops can run for a while on 0% battery power. I have timed my one and i get between 23 and 27 minutes of gaming on my laptop even though it says 0% remaining! :confused: |
