I have a problem on my laptop where the battery icon does not appear.
It seems to be the case that XP just plain and simple loads too fast.
See Tech-Pro's write up on this problem...
http://www.tech-pro.net/howto_013.html
They have a program (http://www.tech-pro.net/startup.html#smgr) where the user can
set the order in which the system tray loads programs.
Useful because i can set my battery monitar at 1st priority.
