I was using my compaq presario 700 Laptop series 720 US model with originally installed software from compaq its battery used to last for 2 hrs without any problem then after the system crashed and I installed Win XP professional because I no longer have restore Cds for the laptop and now the battery doesn't last for more than 30 minutes I tried to get firmware updates for the battery from the compaq website but the problem persist so what might be the problem and can I solve the problem.
please help

Drats! You could have gotten the quick restore CD for free from compaq. All that's needed is the serial number.

Did you download and install the update for the battery?

In XP there's seperate settings in the power features for when the laptop is plugged in or when using the battery. Right click the desktop select properties choose the screensaver tab then open power.
