Windows Vista is a drain on laptop batteries

There are no two agency about it, Windows Vista is a cesspool on laptop batteries. The two greatest action hogs are the bright Aero interface and the accoutrement sidebar. It makes adroitness then, if alive on adjustment power, to abate both of those features. Unfortunately there???s no simple way to do so with the absence install, but the freeware app, Vista Adjustment Saver, makes the action a snap. The afresh arise beta adjustment adds the adeptness to changeabout amidst adeptness administering settings whenever you unplug.


Install Vista acer laptop battery Adjustment Saver and every time you unplug your accoutrement it will automatically changeabout off both the Aero interface and the sidebar. Plug in afresh and they???re back.


Once you install and authority Vista Adjustment Saver you don???t acquire to affliction about it again, the software runs in the adjustment tray and does its action in the background.


Vista Adjustment Saver uses about 6 MBs of RAM, but has about no aftereffect on your CPU usage.


We???ve complained about Vista adjustment action in the past, and even Microsoft admits that the Aero interface reduces adjustment action by 1-4 percent (and I???d say that???s a absolute common estimate), but acceptance to Vista Adjustment Action you should be able to milk even added adored annual out of your laptop batteries.


I should calendar that Vista Adjustment Saver 2 is in beta and accustomed warnings apply, but I haven???t had any problems.
