Battery Driver Issues DV6000

Dv6000 Webcam Driver
I have a HP Pavilion dv6238ea and it had xp on it and the webcam driver i downloaded from hp.com worked fine. Then i formatted it and installed windows 7 in it.

Windows 7 detected the webcam and installed the driver. The webcam shows as ''HP Webcam 1000" and the manufacturer is "Micro Vision" and also the driver is provided by 'Micro Vision'. But it doesn't work. It only shows a black screen.

I downloaded the vista driver from hp.com for my laptop(HP Webcam Driver with Firmware Upgrade for Microsoft Windows Vista HP Pavilion dv6238ea Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)) but it is not able to install. It gives an error.

There is no available driver for windows 7 for this laptop (or any dv6000 series i think) on hp.com

Can anyone help in solving this?

HP Pavilion Dv6000 Graphic Card Driver
I have installed Windows Seven on my HP Pavilion laptop. Everything works just fine, except the Aero feature. The taskbar, for example, is dull and grey, instead of being glass-like and transparent. I did a problem sweep with Windows, and it said that I had to install the graphics card driver. I cannot seem to find it, however. What am I supposed to do?

Laptop Battery Broken? Low Battery Time
I've been running W7 RC since May, and I've noticed this last week or so, that my laptop battery suddenly seemed broken. I unplugged the laptop for 5 min in "power saver" mode - only to watch a youtube video. It said I only had 7% left, and I was to plug it in.  Two seconds later it died. Now I loose more than 2% per minute in power saver - I've always been able to work unplugged at-least 2h +. 
Now it hardly ever succeeds 15-20 minutes. Should I install Vista or have the battery changed on the warranty, what could be wrong?

ACPI Battery Driver Is Producing Large DPC Latency Spikes
This is an ongoing problem from Vista, W7 seems to use the same driver as Vista as well. I use my computer for music production and the high DPC latency spikes cause a lot of interference in the smooth playback and recording of audio. I have traced it down to the ACPI battery compliant driver and with this disabled DPC latency is low enough for glitch free recording and playback of audio.

But obviously having this driver off gives you no feedback as to the state of the battery and causes the laptop to just power down with no warning when the battery is empty. Now W7 is a bit better with DPC latency than Vista but still for a lot of people unusable with this driver on, which sort of defeats the object of having a mobile pc . Would it be possible to some how install the ACPI drivers in XP on a W7 machine? Or is there some other way of working with the W7 driver to eliminate the high DPC latency.

Battery Error "consider Replacing Your Battery"
In Windows 7 RC and the previous beta, I have been receiving an error message saying "Consider replacing your battery" "There is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly". 

I know for a fact that the battery is good. It works fine in Vista, its only about 4 months old, it lasts 2 hours +, and even in Windows 7, it will last for the same time period as it did in Vista.

People have been saying (as well as microsoft) that it is the BIOS and it needs to be updated.  Well, I did obtain the latest BIOS from LG, which is dated in 2009, and that didn't change anything.  I'm concluding that it is NOT the BIOS since vista reported the estimated time left of the battery just fine, even before the bios update, and I have the latest BIOS.

I ran the powercfg -energy command and it says that windows was not able to determine the capacity of the battery, yet if I go and install the LG batery application, it will tell me all the information about the battery.

I even went as far as to try my friend's battery which is less than 3 weeks old, and it still gave the same error messages.

Please Microsoft, fix this issue, and if you can't, then give the users an option to take off/disable/supress the blinking X that is on top of the power tray icon, and to remove both the "Consider replacing your battery" and "There is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly" messages so we don't have to see that every day, since the battery is in fact GOOD and works properly.

PS: my hardware specs are:

LG Xnote R500 (Newest BIOS: CLOSSF19)
Intel T7500
4GB RAM + 2GB Intel Turbo Memory

HP Pavilion Dv6000 Wireless Card Problem
Since installing W7, my computer hasn't identified my wireless card. In the Device Manager, it doesn't list my Broadcom Wireless LAN card. I tried installing the driver from HP's website (I'm on an HP Pavilion dv6000) but it doesn't do anything.

Thoughts?

Laptop Battery Monitor
I have a new HP Compaq laptop and the battery meter is in % which really doesn't tell me much. So I am looking for a battery meter that tells me how much time I have on battery power. I have looked at a few sidebar gadgets and couldn't find anything and Google really isn't helping me either so I thought I would ask here after 2 weeks of research and coming up empty like my battery.

Fujitsu Battery Issue
I read a thread talking about odd battery behavior. In my case, the battery meter works FINE when both batteries (the main and the secondary CD drive battery) are inserted. However, the instant I remove the bay battery, the icon turns to a battery with a red x. Clicking on the icon, battery 2 shows up as "Not present" and the main battery goes from being "Fully Charged" to "Fully Charged - Consider replacing your battery." So I think it's not correctly resetting its percentages or something when the bay battery is removed.

Also, why is the standard "Low Battery Warning" set to 80%?! Is that also a bug?

Other than that, Windows 7 has been flawless for me. Hard to believe this is Microsoft software!!!

My computer is a Fujitsu T4220 Tablet Computer - about two years old.

Cpu Goes At 100% On Battery
I have a HP HDX 16t laptop and after upgrading and also after a clean install of both windows 7 RC and windows 7 upgrade disc from HP my CPU runs at 100%. when on battery. There is no process which takes that percentage either in task manager or process explorer. the system works normally when plugged in to charging also the system works normally in vista 64 bit in battery.

Laptop Battery Life
I have a 2 1/2 year old Laptop that came with XP.  It has a long life battery that lasted over 5 hours on XP.

It doesn't last 2 on Windows 7 RC!.  It runs much hotter also, so I suppose that the CPU is working
harder in Win 7.  I turned off Transparency, but no help.  I really like Windows 7, but this shortened Battery life is unacceptable, and unfixable.  I doubt that anything can be done about it.  I've about 90% convinced myself to buy a new Macbook which has, like, a special 7 hour Battery. 

Also Windows works better on a my Mac-Mini so it's only logical to run Win 7 on a new MacBook, a win, win situation.

Battery Life Laptop
I complained about Battery Life on my Laptop without giving any specifics.  I am using a long-life battery which is twice as wide as the original which gave 2 1/2 hours using XP. I switched to Vista and Battery Life dropped to under 2 hours. I bought my present jumbo long-life battery and life went up to 5 hours using Vista Business on the Laptop.  I loaded Win 7 RC (b7100) and Battery life has dropped to 1 hour 50 minutes. 

My average session on the Laptop is about 4 hours between charges.  My cpu usage with Win7 RC is a continuous 65% at idle doing nothing but looking at the usage meter and all other apps closed?  Any activity, keyboard, mouse, jumps it to 75 or 80.  As I said before, the thing really gets hot, much hotter than ever before.  The "btu meter" tells it all. 

No need to kook at the CPU usage to know the thing is working hard, but, WHY?  Please tell me what high-powered  MS engineer is going to email me the "magic fix" for this extreme and unacceptable power drain.  This Laptop is the only PC I have left running windows.  I switched to Mac on my Main PC and my wifes' machine. It gets a lot of use.  I got almost 6 hours battery with XP, less than two with Win 7. 

I guarantee if I pursue this I'll get a lot of technobabble telling me there is something wrong with my Laptop, because for all their technical skill MS doesn't really know why most problems occur.   They spend their resources on the most positive things that they know that they can fix, not on the millions of things they can't, plus multitudes of propblems that they do not even know about because they havn't happened yet!  Microsoft, like every other large company in the US has become arrogant and self-serving.

"The love of money is the root of all evil!"

Windows is a sophisticated, complex, O/S and I admit to having becoming pessimistic having encountered a steady stream of never ending problems with Vista. (I have 4 genuine copies of Vista and 4 of XP)  I reloaded Vista no less than 20 times (no lie) because of an endleess array of lockups, blue screens, slowdowns etc., etc.  rendering it unusable.  All this with an Intel Motherboard, supposedly tested by MS Hardware Lab. 

The worst was that I lost everything because I couldn't get Windows Restore to restore my system.  The file was good, but it just kept giving me a bunch of hexadecimal error codes and wouldn't start the restore. I lost EVERYTHING! I spent way too much time and money all for nothing. I figured I would use Win 7 for my Laptop because Windows is really great when it works. Now I can't without carrying an extra battery and having to charge both of them every night.

P.S.  A positive suggestion.  Microsoft should start making or certifying their own Hardware. They should have a certification program guaranteeing this Laptop, or Hardware bundle, for do-it-yourselfers or system builders, saying that this hardware and these drivers are certified to be reliable and stable when used with this Windows O/S.  Buying a Dell or HP is sort of like this, but the problem is that when it comes to aftermarket parts and devices, it's "caveat emptor"  Things used to be rated "PC Compatible" and they were.

No more.  I had an "Intel" Motherboard that was not very compatible with anything, especially Vista.

Lenovo W700 Freezes On Battery
My Lenovo W700 freezes for periods of 15 to 90 seconds on battery. I am running Enterprise 64 RTM.

I have: Intel Quad Core Extreme processor Q9300, 8GB ram, nvidia FX 3700M video, 2 Samsung SSds.

It works perfectly on Vista Ultimate 64. It started out this way on Win 7, then worked for one day
and then reverted to not working.

I have as many updated drivers as I can find.

Anybody know anything?

Toshiba Laptop Battery Question
i just bought a new laptop to use at home. someone suggests me that is better to take the battery off if i have it plugged all the time. so i did it. my problem is that after a couple of hours of not using it and have it turned off, when i press the power button it has no power at all. i have to unplug it, wait a few seconds and plug it again to be able to turn it on. Is this a normal situation, or i have to set it in a special way? 

Or is it because i remove the battery?

Laptop Sleep If No Battery But AC Plugged In
I haven't verified this yet, but I wondered if it's a possible bug?

I bought a Dell XPS M1330 over a year ago and it came preloaded with Vista Home Premium. Since I want to keep the batteries in good condition I run the laptop with no battery connected and AC plugged in whenever it sits on my desk at home.

However, in Windows 7 it seems that Windows wants to put the laptop to sleep after 10-15 minutes if I do this. Since I have various USB devices plugged in, especially external storage, this is a problem. It goes away if I run with the battery plugged in but like I said, not verified yet.

Volume / Screen / Battery Issues
I don't get it. i upgraded from vista to 7 when it came out. a few problems i have that i need explained by someone who knows more than me are:

1. How come when i raise or lower my volume it doesn't show on the screen that my volume is being raised or lowered.

2. How come when i use caps lock it does not show on my screen that its on all caps or not. (i need this because on passwords i have no way of knowing.)

3. How come when i press my battery button it does not display how much battery i have left.

it seems like none of my F1 - F12 keys work. why is this and how do i fix it so it shows up on the screen like it did in vista.

another problem i have is when i type fast, my keyboard spazzes out and it types random stuff, it freezes, and it opens files/folders all at the same time.
