internal clock help

External Since: Jun 15, 2007 Posts: 1093

Let me try this one more time; from the diagnostic part of my PRIOR post:

"IF you are unable to locate the calendar reference, or get rid of the
issue,
use a tool such as RegSeeker to search for entries. MAKE SURE you post what
is found in here BEFORE you removed the entries so someone can provide
advise."

thanks,

Sounds like a good call - it would certainly explain the 'Calendar' reports,
but not the time-keeping issues with the clock.

Apparently, the CMOS battery is a NiMH type - a 'rechargeable' one - which
might take a day or two to charge-up sufficiently, before the CMOS clock
(and settings) becomes stable again
