    Currently battling a "bad" battery issue. Attempting to try the Vista 64-bit ACPI drivers to see if it resolves the problem.....assuming they exist? Anyone happen to know if they are out there somewhere?

    Just some insight into my issue for those who may respond with the solution of "buy a new battery".
    1 week ago, my battery lasted for 2+ hours. Today, 10 minutes max.
    Based on all the forums that I've read, there are a number of Windows 7 users that have similar issues. I'd like to give it a try to see if I can get anything going before I go out and blow $150 on a battery.
