    I did a complete XP install and it is amazing. I feel like I am using a different machine.

    When I had Vista, I enabled Battery Care (It limits the charge to save the battery) and now it is STUCK in XP

    I can't charge over 80% and the Battery Care App will not install in XP.

    Any thoughts besides a total reninstall of Vista, and then another XP install?

    I REALLY don't want to have to do that.

    Thanks!

    My battery charges to 100% with xp. I also have bcp installed. Not sure what problems you are having. Try to play around with the apps.

    I have the tz vista battery care app installed and it works fine with xp.

    Hmm..Where did you get the battery care app?

    I tried the one from the FTP Utils folder and it gave me a message about not working with current operating system or something.
