    I bought this laptop a year ago. It has Windows Xp on it, and the battery will last around 2 hours when fully charged.

    I upgrade to Vista Ultimate, and the battery is the only problem. It won't last more than 5 minutes. I try to install driver from Sony website, but it's still not working. When turn on without power cable, it will boot up, login, do a couple things, then got shut off. But able to play it fine when with the power cable. It's something wrong with the battery or Vista?

    Have anybody have this problem before whit upgrading issue or the driver batter issue.. Please help me.. ?
