Sometime ago HP released a HP iPAQ 200 Enterprise Handheld Series - Software Driver Update to Improve Battery Performance and Support Extended Batteries this driver was not adequately tested and had an error in it. It created a new registry entry called Builtln where "In" was spelled "ln" that is with a lower case "L" Hp has very quietly updated sp39391.exe to correct this error without changing the name, or indicating the problem in the previous version. If you have downloaded this driver previously you should download the *new* sp39391.exe and install the corrected version.

You MUST uninstall the HP Battery Driver as a first step and soft reset, you must be prompted to soft reset if you do not do this, the registry error will NOT be corrected, and you will either have to do a hard reset or you will have to edit the registry!
HP has chosen to quietly fix this registry error, with no acknowledgement that there is a problem. This is NOT the behavior of a company that respects their customers IMHO. HP could have easily add code to remove the bad registry setting instead they chose not to! Nor have they acknowledge in any way that the code has been updated. Something to think about the next time you are thinking of buying an HP product. Do you wish to be kept in the dark and fed Bull....???
