 I recently purchased one of these puppies. The bug exists and it often 
 affects battery monitoring. I suspect that since the machine came with a 
 special chipset driver for XP, that "reverse engineering" or contacting the 
 vendor might be a good place to start. I will see what I can do to help out.
