David: If you don't want to replace the CMOS battery just insert the word "Date" in your autoexec.bat file. That way you'll be prompted to enter the date as you boot up. You might also want to inserte the word "Time" also (on a separate line). That way the clock will be set also. This affects your file dating also. dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 7/8/01 at 10:06 PM David Love wrote: >Kallie: > >The battery is one of those soldered in types and I just can't be bothered >to take it in to have somebody deal with it.
