That's what I was thinking, but then the clock doesn't lose any time at all. So, I thought it might be something else. -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Wyatt M.

When I | reboot it, the changes stay, (and I've rebooted it more thn 15 | times), but | when I shut it off, and then shut off the power to the cord, | and then turn | it on the next day, the settings in the BIOS change. I had to | enable the USB | ports after rebooting it the next day. I did a virus check and | found no | errors, but that really doesn't mean there isn't a virus in | there. And, the | virus software is Norton 2K, and up-to-date. Can a battery | with low power | affect this??? Or, what can affect this??? The OS is Win/98SE. | Thanks for | any response I get for this. | | Rick | | To unsub or change your email settings: | //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk | | To access our Archives: | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ | //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ | | For more info: | //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk ********* And So It Was *********** To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
