Hello,
I'm using XP Pro and my power management seems to be strange. When I plug
it in it dims down and when I unplug it, it gets brighter and still say in
the systray thats its on ac. I've taken care of the brightness by adjusting
it. I was tryig to make the battery last longer and chatted with the
manufacturer (compaq) and they told me to unistall the acpi control driver
and let it reinstall. I did that and afterwards I get this issue. Basically I
cant tell how much battery I have left without going to the control panel.
Any info would be very apreciated.
Thank You
Mark W.
 
After you plug it in to an AC outlet doesn't the battery charging indicator
icon
pop up on your taskbar next to the clock?
