    Hi,

    Recently I install fresh copy of Windows XP on my NC8430 and after that I have problems with power alarm setting (notification when battery is low).

    Problem is that I can't change setting for critical battery and low battery alarm, they are set to 100% and when I set them to some other value, slide bar automatic returns to 100% when I let loose mouse click.

    Because of this every time I unplug laptop from power supply it goes to hibernation because alarms are set to 100% (they should be set to 3-5%). Now I can use my laptop only on power supply, like I don't have battery.


    Any clue why I can't change this?
