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 ...) -- Gabor Zahemszky <zgabor@CoDe.hu> -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.
