Laptop battery no longer gets charged by
Yousuf Khan[_2_]
I got an older model laptop running XP, it's a Gateway MX6440, which is
about 6 or 7 years old now. I keep it around to run older software which
may not have been ported to Windows 7. Just recently I noticed that it's
no longer charging its battery. The battery is just over 1 year old, and

maybe he can successfully shed some more light on this subject.
Here are some more basics, just so that we're all on the same page:
* In theory one can have multiple I/O APICs in a system. In practice,
on the sorts of systems we're talking about here, there's only going to

Enabling SMP by
Jonathan de Boyne Pollard
My machine is NOT configured to support ACPI, however, setting my
BIOS to ACPI enabled and using MPS map 1.4 seems to produce an
otherwise pretty darn stable system.
So you have ACPI disabled even though having it enabled is more stable?
The last time around, M. Piatkowski said APIC,...

timers by
Jonathan de Boyne Pollard
BTW, I think ACPI offers an additional timer that could be used
for this purpose.At least Windows seems to go this route in it's
implemenation of the DosTmrXXX equivalents.
It's not ACPI. It's the hardware. There are three major "timer"
interrupt sources in a modern PC machine: channel #0...

FF and SM with Native Printing Support by
Jonathan de Boyne Pollard
3) the BIOS allows me to select APIC & IOAPIC, both are selected, even
though I do not run ACPI
It's easy to confuse ACPI with APIC, but the twain are quite different
things. Enabling local APICs and I/O APICs is what one wants with an
SMP operating system. (Strictly speaking, if one...

ACPI FIXVW2 4-20-2011 a regression? by
Jonathan de Boyne Pollard
/APIC doesn't work at all without /SMP on same line. It is just
ignored without it.
Are you sure of this statement? I thought that /APIC vs /PIC had to do
with how interrupts are routed and that /APIC only makes sense on
mother boards that support the more up-to-date interrupt...

A limit on number of USB hubs in Windows 7? by
Yousuf Khan[_2_]
I've got three 4-port hubs on my system. From time to time after a
reboot, some of them don't enumerate properly, and you have to unplug
and replug them. Is there some way in software to get Windows to rescan
them? Of course that won't do any good if the USB hub that your mouse
