One way is to turn off your mac and remove the battery for about 10 < minutes. My Mac did a similar thing once. I took out the battery for some reason, and when I put it back, the clock was very erratic. It would sometimes tick once ever 30 seconds or so, and sometimes it would go several minutes with no ticking. I took the battery out and left it out ( with the Mac unplugged ) overnight. This did not fix it. Solution? I had AppleCare, so I let my dealer deal with the problem. He did a board swap. -- Tim Smith "And if you want to be me, be me uucp: sdcrdcf!ism780c!tim And if you want to be you, be you Compuserve: 72257,3706 'Cause there's a million things to do Delphi or GEnie: mnementh You know that there are"
