I have a 1040st and just recently (last weekend) purchased a Supra 30 megabyte hard disk. I carefully followed the installation instructions, formatted the disk and installed the proper files into the auto folder so that the date/time would be fed to the system automatically upon booting. I turned everything on and saw the "system date set" message flash on the screen and expected everything to be kosher. I clicked on the ONLY desk accessory I have installed (Control.acc) and it displayed the 1985 date... Thinking I must have missed setting the Supra clock, I ran the supplied set clock program and was dismayed to see that the supra had the correct date/time but the system didn't. I manually ran the supclkrd program and sure enough, it updated the system properly. Turning everything off, I rebooted again and it failed to load the system with the date and time. I called Supra on Tuesday, and they told me to remove the Control Panel accessory and try it. It worked!! So I can't have the control panel on my hard disk if I want the system date/time to be set at boot???? This seems to indicate that I will either have to manually run the clock read program at every boot or learn to live without the control panel... Anybody have any suggestions??
