try this patch

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918005

doesn't fix all the problems, but maybe it will work in your case

Also, download "notebook hardware control" and run the NHC monitor to see how much power is used when u are running on battery.

LMAO, on the Microsoft update page, they show using the Mozilla Firefox download manager during the process. Specifically, the Windows Genuine Advantage page.

Are they telling us something?

That page changes based on the browser you are using. When WGA first came out - it didn't work with firefox. Then they made it so you could manually do it for a while. Recently - they added instructions like that page you see there.
