It's always been on the bottom right of my computer. Right now its plugged in so it says "fully charged 100%".

Go to the start menu and then right click and go to properties and then click on taskbar and then customize and then make sure the checkbox on the very bottom is checked -- "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar".

Hope this helps :D

On my Acer netbook, it showed time remaining for about a month or two, then it stopped displaying it.

Hey Vincenzo same thing with my laptop! It actually showed time left when I was running Vista for a month or 2, then stopped, but when I switched to Windows 7 it didn't show at all. I was just wondering how to turn it on

I've just assumed it was some minor growing pain with the new OS, that it would eventually be worked out in an upcoming Windows Update.
