    Why will this batterystatus API work in winxp, but not in nt4.0?

    Code:
    Type SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS
ACLineStatus As Byte
BatteryFlag As Byte
BatteryLifePercent As Byte
Reserved1 As Byte
BatteryLifeTime As Long
BatteryFullLifeTime As Long
End Type
Declare Function GetSystemPowerStatus Lib "kernel32.dll" (lpSystemPowerStatus As SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS) As Long  

Dim SysPower As SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS
GetSystemPowerStatus SysPower
    With this code, SysPower.BatteryLifePercent returns 0 in nt 4.0.. but it works properly in winxp..

    anyone know how i can get this to work with nt 4.0?
    It also works in 9x..

    Because it is not supported in NT. The API only works on Win2k/XP or Win95/98/ME.
