Battery Driver XP?

Hi,

I've recently installed a new Windows XP on my MacBook Pro 13 under Parallels 5. I had a bit of trouble installing the Parallels Tools, so killed that app and managed to get Windows to work successfully.

However, Windows keeps telling me there's new hardware found - Battery - and asks me to put in a manufacturer driver. I cannot seem to locate a driver for this. It won't find one on my Windows disc. I've tried copying c:\windows\system32\drivers\battc.sys and cmbatt.sys to the same folder on my XP on Parallels XP virtual machine, but I still get the error.

If I turn off "show battery in virtual machine" in Parallels, the error goes away, but I'd like to see the battery indicator on Windows.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Tried that - no joy.

Hi thanks for your reply.

I completely uninstalled Parallels Tools, and reinstalled it. My "Screen Corner" is now working properly (it wasn't before I reinstalled Parallels Tools), but it still asks for the battery!

I'll have to turn it off for the mo in Parallels, until I can get a solution.

Cheers
Andy
 
Thanks - that fixed it!

Thanks Slartibartfast,

That fixed it! Hoorah!

Copying the battc.sys, cmbatt.sys and batt.dll to windows\system32 sorted my problem. I wouldn't have been able to have done so if you hadn't told me about batt.dll. Thanks very much!

Cheers
Andy
