Dell Extended Battery Life gone
Hello!
I had to reset my Studio 1749 to factory defaults and now the option for "Dell Extended Battery Life" within the Dell Battery Meter is gone. I don't know what needs to be reinstalled in order to get it back.
These are the changes that might affect the issue:
- Installed a different WiFi-Card (Dell 1520)
- Installed a different Tuner Card (Yuan, provided by Dell)
- Installed Service Pack 1 for Windows 7
- Flashed BIOS to A08
- Updated all Drivers and Utilities from the Dell Homepage except for the ATI-Driver
I think it is a useful tool if you use your notebook on battery, because it is able to control a few options that are not availible in Windows 7 default power plans.
I would be very happy if someone was able to help me! Thank you.

Hi there!
I had a very similar problem and after a bit of googling I cam across this solution that worked for me in another thread.

"go into C:\Program Files\Dell\QuickSet, and there you should see a battery.exe file right click and go to properties, under the compatibility tab there will be a tick box for "Run this program as administrator" check that and then 'apply' now open battery.exe and the settings button should have returned =)"
Hope that helps! Hope that works for you!

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem with the dell intelligent display option. It too disappeared after a factory reset. Hoping that someone could possibly help.
