This is not an IP Support problem.  Please do not use the 
demon.ip.support.pc newsgroup for such questions.

The clock problem could be a failing motherboard battery.  On the sort 
of motherboard you have this is likely to be a replaceable cell, of the 
same general sort as used to power ome calculators, personal organisers, 
etc.  Look on the motherboard for a flat metal disc in a holder, about 
2cm in diameter.

And make sure you have noted down on paper all your CMOS settings -- a 
failing battery will affect the clock first, and then lose all that data 
as it gets worse.


Because of the hassle a battery failure can cause, I have posted and e- 
mailed this message.
