how do you uninstall it from windows 7? It seems like it's a malware because it's impossible to uninstall it from the control panel...

I highly doubt it's malware (as long as you actually have a Lenovo laptop). I have a Toshiba Energy Manager on mine.

And as for your question, I dunno how to uninstall it. :dunno: I don't have a Lenovo computer.

It is a lenovo computer. I had installed windows 7 and formatted them away, but I had to run some battery diagnostic tool that required it. Now it is impossible to uninstall it as the uninstall button does nothing at all.

You'll have to remove the program manually, which means cleaning out all traces of it by hand inside of the registry and in the hard drive. If I knew more about this program, I'd help to uninstall it by hand. Or if Lenovo has an uninstaller tool out there for it, you can run that.

Seems like companies these days are skimping on their uninstallers. Back in the day, a simple uninstaller would do what anyone would do manually, which was delete all the registry entries and the program data, and it all took less than 5-6 seconds to remove a large program. Heck even those old uninstallers were small enough to the point where they were just batch files with a GUI (which meant they could also be downloaded on a 9600 baud modem from Usenet) Now a days, it's a problem with uninstallers failing to delete themselves or uninstallers that don't even do their job, and then companies have to release "cleaning" tools in order to fix their mistake which can make a mess of the registry.

awww, I don't know how to delete the registry things... I don't even know where it installed, I think somewhere in the windows or system32 folder.

/me is gonna submit it to avast! team for inspection

Edit: found it under program files (x86)/ThinkPad/utilities

There is a forum at the Lenovo site which may be able to help you with that. I have a lenovo, but I have not needed to uninstall the power management. Either way, if you ever reset your system with the novo button (Take it back to Beginning Default settings), it will just install the power management again.

I would suggest visiting the forum on the lenovo site for help.

I found a tutorial on google on how to remove things manually, and managed to remove it, and now it's finally gone forever :D

vigge, wiping your disk and installing linux would also remove it forever. ;)

the programs we run in school don't run on linux, some not even in wine. + I will never use linux as long as FSF and GNU exists

You have a point with with the compatibility issues (though a virtual box inside of linux would solve that problem and make it much easier to back up your files and reinstall windos when ever it gets too buggy), but what do you have against FSF and GNU?
