MacBook Pro / Windows XP SP3 Battery Class Issue
Installed Windows XP Professional SP3, Boot Camp drivers, updated everything to as far as it'd pretty much let me update. Nice clean installs... except I noticed my fan was cranking, really really hard, and applications like Firefox ran abysmally slow. Curious, I checked task manager to see that I had ridiculously high CPU usage by the System process. Quite a bit of tinkering later and I found out that for some reason, XP is failing to recognize the battery properly.
Here are some relevant stack traces
It's BATTC.SYS (battery class system driver) that's throwing a large fit. Not sure why, though. Checking the power management panel in Windows shows an unknown battery (even though it shows no errors in Device Manager), and flickering. Taking out the battery makes the CPU usage return to normal, and reinserting it makes it climb up to unusable again. Tried installing Intel 945 drivers to no avail.

XP install was vanilla XP install upgraded to SP3... worked before, except last time I don't think I had upgraded to the latest Boot Camp (2.1 I think?). Laptop functions correctly under Mac OS X, with no visible issues.
Anyone else had any issues with this, and if so, is there a fix?
