"Consider Replacing Your Battery" Issue in Windows 7 Professional RTM

I can't open the POWERCFG -ENERGY. Right when i double click it or run as admin is just closes immediately. Help please.

I finally resolved this issue.

Dear users, who ever is facing the "Consider Replacing Battery" Issue in windows 7, read it out .1st of all, run the command prompt with administrator privileges and in command prompt, change the destination path to C:\ and then type POWERCFG -ENERGY. It will scan ur battery status and after 1 minute, it will generate a report which will be saved in the same destination in which the command had been performedi.e C:. Open the energy report and check the battery's designed capacity and the last full charge.

i am facing the same problem on my toshiba portege R830 ,I did the powercfg - energy scan and got these results. my last full charge % was about 38% of designed capacity. so by following your method how much full charge % should i finally be able to achieve with respect to designed capacity?
