In the office where I work, we recently purchased a 286 clone.. Over the past few weeks, the computer's internal clock has been losing days. The first time, it stuck on Thanksgiving. A week later, it hung on December 7th (Pearl Harbor Day). A few weeks later, it stuck on Christmas Eve. Has anyone heard of a virus that would produce these symptoms? If not, does anyone have any other ideas about how to fix the problem? Please respond via e-mail to: vpcsc11@sfsuvax1.sfsu.edu Thanks!
