That's why I always turn to msfn first. Firstly, I'm using an Intel chipset, and I noticed in the description of this update that it seems to be AMD-specific, shown here:As a result, I haven't attempted your resolution. I'm using a Toshiba A200-TH1 that I've had since '07. It's got an Intel Core2 Duo T5450. Edited November 26, 2010 by huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 amd64 does not mean its amd onlyAnd because you have a thoshiba the hotfix will not install, you have to extract the cab and use dism to install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hmmm... I would strongly suggest burning and running a Ubuntu Live CD and see if you get the same problem there, as it charges and reads battery charging similar to how Windows 7 does it. If that also shows the error, you will need to contact Toshiba. The fact it says "not charging" means it's not exactly the same as the previous Windows 7 issue that brought about that hotfix. That would show "Consider replacing your battery" in the battery window - are you seeing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
