Minimal- I've been quite conservative. Epocates, GPS Weather Radar, CorePlayer, netcf 3.5. Some free MS games.

I looked at the registry and it looks like the path for the lowbatt.wav file is incorrect for the notification. It points to lowbatt instead of \Windows\Lowbatt.wav. This is inconsistent with the way the other notifications are setup. You can test my theory by installing the attached .cab file. I'm not guaranteeing anything, but please let me know if it works.

Thanks. I've downloaded the file, but in the interest of minimizing changes to my device, will verify what my TP2 does when the battery gets to 5 and 10% before installing it.

Although, come to think of it, I kind of remember it getting low last week-end while I was using it, a warning message flashed on the screen, but I don't recall (not 100% certain) an audible warning.

I'm also planning on installing a Registry editor this week-end, so maybe I'll just have a look to see what's there to begin with.

Thanks again.
