what programs were preventing your battery to charge or even to be reconized? Sounds very strange....

i don't think it was a program, cause she said she disconnected it while she was on the bios screen and it turned off, so it's definitely not windows...
think you have some hardware problem =/

Hence my question on what those two programs were as I find it strange that programs prevent a battery from charging and being reconized...

yes, but that only shows that the battery is not charged and not reconized. It doesn't say a thing about the cause of it.

My question is to find out a cause of it... and  since she said the battery charged again after allowing 2 programs (which I find very strange) I want to know what those programs were  ;)

RE: Battery not detected
I see... sorry for the confusion...

But It could still be a program

Say that, somehow, a program prevents a battery from charging (programs can influence hardware states*) while the laptop is running Windows, the battery would be dead after a while as it would be decharged.

Doing the bios-trick/check will only tell you the battery is not charged, nothing more.

*eg: I can for example set the brightness level of my laptop screen via software. If I set it to total black, it will still be total black even if I completely remove the harddisk and install another OS. A similar thing can be going on with the battery (although I wouldn't know why a program would want to prevent a battery from charging; if that is possible with her laptop of course).
