UPS Power Status

[kenerly]

I installed 2 new belkin ups and their bulldog shutdown software on two of my computers. One works great, no problem. On the other computer the battery icon started showing up in the system tray. See image...

I uninstalled the bulldog software and the battery icon reappeared after about 24hours.

I turned the UPS off and the battery icon reappears after about 24 hours.

The battery icon will only not appear when the ups cable is disconnected from the computer. It seems as those the original install of the bulldog software has done something strange to windows making it think it’s running on battery power. This is not a laptop btw.

Any ideas?

Try this: Go to Control Panel>Performance & Maintenance>Power Options>Advanced tab. Click on "Always show icon on the TaskBar" to uncheck it, click OK.
