There should be a jumper which will do the same thing in a matter of seconds, look in the mobo book, or if you've not got that, find it online.
it may even be writen on the mobo, something along the lines of clrcmos or ccmos.

Well, for those who don't have the Mobo Book around, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif taking the battery out is easier than trying to figure which jumper to pull!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Although you might experience some slight trouble with reconnecting them.

I am going for it. I am updating my new Power Machine to XPsp3 right now. I won't update my HP as it is an AMD and we all know that INTEL and Microsoft have a private deal between them to kill AMD.

If this works I might even risk my laptop.

...Good luck. Based on past postings, you'll need it.

Well after hours and hours of trying to fix my system after XPsp3 screwed up it, I finally have it all working again. I had to reinstall EVERYTHING after doing a complete reinstall of XP. I am now up to date and only suffered a few hours of pain. NO way in hell am I going to try this with the HP POS. NO way.
