Vista RC1 will not charge battery

Hi there,
I have a Compaq N600c laptop with a new battery. With Windows XP and a
Vista beta, the battery would charge, and would last 3 to 4 hours without
being plugged in. Now that I have installed RC1 the battery stays at 5%, and
charging status switches between charging and not charging.

The problems started with RC1 - any ideas on how to fix this? Are there any
hidden charging settings? Or any registry settings that would affect this?
I am going to re-install the beta or XP (which ever CD I find first)
Thanks
