    Windows XP seems to think my battery is dead and I'm getting a red light indicating that it can't charge or it's dead, but if I take the battery out and push the on battery reader, it says it's at 100%.

    Just to double check that I really have battery power, I unplugged the cord and I've been running on battery for about 15 min at 0%.

    Any way to reset how windows reads the battery charge?
