Made a battery charger, seedfan detects the chip (max8731a) and battery(smart battery from an old thinkpad) on the smbus, but I can't seem to get windows to install the drivers for these devices (battc.sys and cmbatt.sys, using battery.inf).

Help installing acpi device drivers? The os (xp 32) detects no additional hardware and device manager is clean, no unrecognized devices or other problems. I've tried the usual add hardware method, bu that didn't work either.-
