    If you still have ePower Management installed then do the following:

    Open ePower Management and click on Advanced Settings(top right).

    You can set up the alarms etc. from there.

    Cheers,
    Theo

    Thanks for the speedy reply, but I can't find that so I can't have it installed any more...

    This is a small and very simple program which notify low battery with sound. It's free, read the description and then try the program if you want to. Let me know if it's working for you.

    Edit: If you want to start on Windows startup you'll need to do it yourself, manually. There is no option for that, as I said it's a very simple program.

    Nice program ATG ;).

    If you are using Windows Xp SP2, there´s a registry hotfix to enable low and critical battery alert properly (as it´s sometimes equal to predetermined beep, almost inaudible)

    You can read Microsoft article here => http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307154

    It needs a formal request for downloading, so I have uploaded it here => http://www.mediafire.com/?mjzo3jcbejy

    I hope it helps you.

    Kind Regards and Good Luck :)
