Try this:

Control Panel ---> Power Options ---> Power Meter.

make sure that: "Show Details For Each Battery" is checked.

you're sure it's not being hidden by the "Hide inactive icons" option, right?

 

[dav2287]

Right. i turned off the inactive icons thing, and its not in there.

this was an interesting read. though i want to stress that playing with the registery scares the hell out of me. So read the workarounds first.
