TAHNKSHi bobbystealsI know nothing whatsoever about Windows Smart Battery, but maybe this would be worth a thought...The link below is to a website where 'windows smart battery' can be downloaded. This suggests that it should be possible to uninstall. I appreciate that this is a very basic suggestion, but have you tried to uninstall from Add/Remove in the Control Panel? http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/42903 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
