A few Problems with 7

Turbo5lut · 11-06-2009, 07:54 PM

First of all, I have a 4810T and Love it. When i bought it, it had everything it wanted; thin, good screen, larger harddrive, and 8 hour battery life. Only bad part was vista. Now i upgraded to Win 7 Professional and now my battery life sucks. 5 hours at best, now i have to bring along my recharger which is something i hate. I installed epower, and it has done nothing. Just today i found that my webcam will not work, the program won't launch ( i have tried to install in comptatibility Mode) and i tried to burn a Cd with Media Player and it said: "Connect a Burner and Restart Player". So what can i do to fix this.

Thank you in advance, Hope to hear some answers soon.

I have an Aspire Timeline 1810tz that came preloaded with Windows 7 64bit and I get 6.5 hours web surfing with wifi, so the problem is not windows 7.

I have the exact same problem with poor battery in Windows 7. Vista average 6-7 hours, W7 average only 3-4 hours.

Whats going on?

I wonder if the 4810T(G) Windows7 preinstalled versions suffer from this.

Run this command, and it will generate an energy report on your C drive. You can then review any settings or errors, etc. that might be causing excessive battery use.

powercfg.exe -energy -output C:\EnergyReport.html

"Click on it"? You need to run it with from a command line with the options. It takes 60 seconds.
