How to reinstall the Composite Battery Device

[Guest]

I recently uninstalled the Microsoft Composite Battery device using the Device Manager under Windows 2000 professional because it was showing a conflict and displaying an error message that it was unable to start

After uninstalling, the system does not seem to recognize the device as re-installable using the Hardware Wizard. I cannot seem to find the appropriate setup, driver or *.inf file to add this as a hardware device and reinstall it

Any help as to how to reinstall the Composite Battery device would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Problem solved.

Trick is to uninstall the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Battery.

First, make sure your laptop is plugged in to an AC
adapter.

Using the Hardware Wizard, choose to Uninstall/Remove a
device, and then select the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant
Battery.

Follow the steps of the wizard to uninstall the device.

Then, using the Hardware wizard again, choose to
Add/Troublshoot the device. The wizard should
automatically rediscover and automatically reinstall the
battery and the Microsoft Composite Battery system device
should come along with it.

Hope this helps!
