Re: no battery meter solved!
finally, my 2nd take on reinstalling back a fresh copy of xp pro. Now im using the full version, that means everything intact, just full fresh copy of windows xp pro
i reformatted my drive to fat32, let it install. Approximately it took 57 mins to install the thing, quiet slow, but i patiently wait while it does its thing
after the installation, i was surprise with its performance, coz the last time it was stalling many times, now it runs smoothly.
what i did next was just disable system restore, i didnt disable prefetch. the drivers i installed are the vga, sound, card reader, audio and the wireless lan. after this, i stopped and dont bother to run the chipset for the moment. Now im a happy person, plus i tried copying a movie file (256mb dvd mpeg2 file) on the desktop and was surprise it took less than a minute when before it takes ages just to open my computer. I played the file with the free smplayer i downloaded and bang! smooth silky video.
so i conclude, the ntfs partition did slowed down the one about 40%, while runnig the video, i check the system taskbar and found out it was only running at 7% cpu..whooah !
hope this helps guys. my next plan is of course, make some screen shots of my acer one..btw my acer one comes with 1 gb of ram
oh, and lastly, i got back my battery meter, and functions just the way it should be..
