Dear All,
This problem pertains to BOTH Windows 2000 Professional And Windows XP Professional running on a laptop. Here is a breif description of the problem:
Power meter not working!
Whenever the laptop is running on batteries, regardless of how much battery life is left, it displays 100% then less than 5 minutes later, it says "no battery" and assumes laptop is running off AC power! This problem seems quite common with laptops and win2k/XP.
NOTE: This problem does not exist with Windows 98!
Can anyone help??

That's a stupid problem i had with my laptop and win2k.I don't remember for sure what i did to fix it, but i think i enabled APM support from power options(APM tab).Have you tried that?
