Should the System > File (if there is one) also have its name changed? No, that's more than enough to "hide" a System but what you are doing is redundant if you are not running 10.2.6!!! (and here is wehre I cna't remember what your problem was -- are you running a brand new eMac or were you on a tower?) The "clock" problem is mostly limited to towers IIRC (check www.macintouch.com and do a google search focussed on the website for clock issues (check the advanced searching help page on google on how to limit searches to a specific site if you need to know how to do that). Now that you've installed OS X 10.2 you *must* upgarde to 10.2.6 if you have not already done so to get the clock fix, *if* it's a software problem. I don't know what iteration of OS X introduced the clock bug but I think it was actually in 10.1 and wasn't cleared up for most people until 10.2.4 or 10.2.5! Otherwise it's a battery problem and you'll have to get a new battery (but, if you just bought the computer... can't remember if you did) you *definitely* should not need to replace the battery.
