why does my power meter (and volume meter) keep disappearing from the task bar on the bottom of my computer, and how do i get it back...gn

The location of the power meter in the tool bar is called the tray. Now Google power meter in what operating system you are using and find the results. I Know in XP control was via the control panel.

Are you logged in as administrator on the computer? Also take a look at the control panel under power settings. Sorry I cannot try anything dealing with Vista as I deleted everything I owned regarding Vista once I felt Windows 7 was better. That did not take long as 7 is so much better Vista I did not have a need to look back.
