I'm trying Batti right now and it's freaking out, lol. Sometimes it'll stay purple (charging) for a few minutes after I take it off the charge. Then it freaked out and turned white and froze and wouldn't let me open the settings. :O

I used vistabattery for awhile and it caused way too many problems. Couldn't get it removed either, took forever. Seems like it needs updating for TP.

Removed? I don't think there's an install for it. It's just an exe.

If you put it in windows/startup then it loads on boot. And once its in memory, dotfred taskmanager had a hell of a time killing the process. took multiple reboots and lockups to finally get it clear from there.

Oh, hell, you put the exe in the Start Up?

Gotta make a .lnk.

I have been running vistahide since I purchased the Touch Pro last year without any problems. I also have the exe file placed in the start up folder.

You have zero keyboard lag running VistaHide?

I had the same kind of problems with Batti in my TouchPro.
There where times I would look at it & it would look like my battery had like 10% left in it & that would be 10 mimutes after I unplugged it from a charger (it seemed to get stuck & never update)

If I did a soft reset, it would read over 90% but then an hour later it would be all screwed up again.

I am pretty sure you can, these are the (2) files in the startup folder, dciBattery/qwertyMemory, I would say just move or delete the qwertyMemory and that should do it.
