need help w/ my sony vaio picturebook!

Hi. Recently my Sony Vaio Picturebook (PCG-C1XS) broke, and I can't
use the AC adapter for power anymore. So I am relying solely on
battery power, so I purchased the battery charger (PCGA-BC5) for the
batteries for my picturebook. The standard single capacity battery
fits nicely and charges up, but my quad capacity battery (PCGA-BP54)
does NOT fit, by a couple of millimeters. Not sure why they designed
it like this! I know there is some kind of extension adapter for the
BP54 battery to be able to recharge from this charger, but I can't find
any kind of info about it on the web, like a model number. Does
anybody have this adapter or know the part number or have any
suggestions for me? Thanks.

Hmm... Im not sure what I did, but I found a solution! After much
installing/uninstalling of the NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV driver, it
seems like when I rebooted, Windows went through its automatic "Found
New Hardware" thing, and then I found 1024x480 resolution in the list
of supported modes!!
