Run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CDROM drives. More and more PCs are shipped without floppy drives these days, and it is such a royal pain when you need to run diagnostic tools on them.

Consolidate as many diagnostic tools as possible into one bootable CD. Wouldn't you like to avoid digging into the dusty box to look for the right floppy disk, but simply run them all from a single CD? Then the Ultimate Boot CD is for you!
This will create an ISO image which you can use to create a bootable CD with your favorite CD burning software.

Notebook BatteryInfo is a meaningful display of the mobile computer battery charging capacity. By default Windows has only a small battery icon in the Taskbar as capacity display. This display in not very good.
The symbol in the Taskbar shows only the rough estimate of the remaining battery capacity. If more exact information are needed the mouse must hovered over the battery symbol to show a tooltip with the exact remaining capacity. There are a lot of free Tools available which display a battery icon with the remaining capacity below the icon, but unfortunately the icon is not always at the same postition in the Taskbar, a lot of Applications place an icon in the Taskbar. Notebook BatteryInfo went an other way and displays a meaningful battery capacity display right beside the Taskbar icons.
Notebook BatteryInfo works on all computers with Windows 2000/XP as operating system. With Windows 2000 at least Service Pack 3 should be installed. Under Windows XP the Service Pack 2 should be installed. The Software should work without the Service Packs. But I did not test it. Notebook BatteryInfo only work under 32 bit Systems!
