Hi!

I've got a 486-120, with Award BIOS.  Once, I found that the date is wrong,
so I went into the BIOS Setup and corrected it.  From that time, I have the
next problems:
on every boot, the BIOS says, sometyhing is wrong, "Press <F1> to continue
or <DEL> to go Setup"
-- a) Setup:  The time and date are set to the last date setting, and the clock
doesn't go.  Set it, reboot, the same problem, but the time/date is a bit more
preciuos (;-)
-- b) Continue:  FB (2.1R from Walnut Creek) screaming, that there is a problem
in the CMOS's time settings, go and correct it.  I can ``date yymmdd..''
and I can see the date changes (under Unix), but not in the BIOS.  Next time,
the same problem.

What's that, and what can I do to correct it?  (I have no money for a new
machine, so don't tell buy another ...)
