I use it on a TiBook and an AlBook both with 10.4.4. I've never had a problem with Panther nor Tiger. Try deleting theorg.orange-carb.SlimBatteryMonitor.plist file from your user/library/preference folder. John On Jan 20, 2006, at 2:50 AM, Daniel Colwell wrote: On Thursday, Jan 19,

Various upgrades to Tiger screwed up Apple's battery monitor software. Try using one of the freebee aftermarket ones found at versiontracker.com. They seem immune to the upgrade bug. John On Jan 15, 2006, at 6:42 PM, Andrew in Ann Arbor wrote: For some reason I can no longer get info on
