Nor am I a GURU, But yes the BIOS and the O/S communicate with each other
and should be fine as long as the BIOS clock and batteryis in good working
order
however you do have software in the O/S that "talks to the BIOS" and allows
the
BIOS to "talk to the O/S"
so as you see your thinking is not bad - however there is a software
interface that
could be the malfunction.
My best bet is the Clock Battery, but an overinstall (repair) would defently
prove it was
not the O/S - on the otherhand - replacing the battery leaves just the BIOS
or the O/S.
it's a matter of what is easier for you to do to nail the problem and the
way you go about troubleshooting.
Sorry if this is a bit late in comming, I am not feeling well and am back
and forth in /out of bed
probably not a good tme to be doing this stuff either.

manage changes present a pretty and easy access for the user.
If that is the case, how would a clock malfunction cause the specific
problem at hand? It would seem more logical that a bad battery or a bad
clock would make the Windows interface totally worthless. Not just the one
tab.
Where has my thinking gone bad?
