Calling Captain Kirk - Help With Win XP

flash back to your old bios, and or check your cmos battery.

to me it sounds like your system time has gone kaput.

What does my CMOS battery look like and how do I know it's gone? oh & another thing during the definitions problem my friend OC it without my say so. And he lately told me his had to do a CMOS reset he stated that he set my settings back for my BARTON but that's all. That's when I noticed my date was wrong in XP I set it back to the right date & time but everything went bye-bye. Yesterday thou I did a full format and have just FINALLY installed SP2 since updating my BIOS it's been a dream running. So hopefully my battery won't of gone here's hoping.

You really don't need to make a second thread for the same issue, in the same topic, do you??

Please use your already existing thread. (the first three posts here)
