battery issue

gtrvox · Mar 7, 2011

Hello: I'm a newbie here, so apologies in advance if my question has already been dealt with elsewhere.

Whenever I run my laptop (Toshiba) on battery power, programs need restarting ("Windows Explorer is not responding....check for a solution and restart the program")
This NEVER happens when the comp runs on AC supply - only on battery.

This is not a critical issue but it is annoying. Any input is appreciated

Thanks

George

i think it has more to do with the actual programs than the difference between AC and DC power. power is power, there shouldnt be a difference..... try troubleshooting your programs. safe mode, reinstall etc..

Thanks! I agree: power is power but this happens to every single program that's open, be it IE, Firefox, Photoshop, Word, you name it. I don't this it's possible for every single program on my computer to have a problem...yet it consistently happens, like clockwork, whenever I unplug the power cord; never with it in

I would follow this tutorial not to restore original settings but to try high performance.
See it that helps

If not make sure that your battery is actually ok. Not that it shows ok, but really is. Test with another battery or test battery on another computer
