1193209	2011-04-09 12:21:00	I am working on my son's laptop, running xp pro sp3. I have formatted the drive and reinstalled the XP and it still has the problem which is that it will not shut down, and if put to sleep will not wake up. The only way to turn it off is remove the charger then remove the battery. The computer boots Ok and is quite normal until you try to shut it down. On the other hand, if you use it with out the battery all is normal, no problems. Somehow the battery is causing the problem. The battery charges Ok. Any Ideas?	mzee (3324)

1193213	2011-04-10 04:57:00	It probably doesnt have the file I gave in it. Install it and see if it shuts down I tried it. Refuses to install. "Unexpected error, see your administrator"! Reboot does not help.	mzee (3324)

1193215	2011-04-11 12:36:00	The problem has been the battery which is about 5 years old. Borrowed another one and it works fine. The battery dropped from 100% charge to 7% charge in 2 days out of the computer.	mzee (3324)
