In reply to:
Was the battery dead? Dunno. Checked my sound scheme and yes I have set it to sound an alarm when the battery is critical. But it never sounded.

This is for laptop batteries, it is nothing to do with the CMOS/time battery

Tell us how it goes..

Windows clock now all OK

[re: BruceThief37] [link to this post]

To wrap this up, my desktop pc (tower, not laptop) is now AOK. Clock fixed, new CMOS battery did the deed. Motherboard bought August 2002 battery presumably then brandnew.

Understand that the EPROM needs battery power at boot. It certainly was not an in-out job --- done & switch on again 10 minutes after poweringdown --- as it restarted in Safe Mode with answers to difficult questions demanded (I settled for it loading defaults).

I post this to tell my readership the final result & to say thanx to respondents, 'tis what these Forums are all about. Bruce +++
