Ok, so that makes things interesting. From what we know about the T60
(and based on Ingo's report), _PPC may evaluate to 2 on bootup. However,
if this is ignored then later notifications are correct. This implies
that Windows either ignores the initial evaluation or does something
that triggers a notification.
The only notifications appear to be sent from event methods, so there's
nothing obvious there that we can trigger. I'm actually quite confused
by this now. Ingo, if you re-add that block, does your system stop
working again?
