Hi Victor, I have seen this discussed on other lists on different occasions over the years with never a solution. My suggestion which has never been taken up is to write an application which sets the values directly into the CMOS. Now this would be BIOS dependent, that is to say, Phoenix or what ever and you need some technical information. There are specific memory locations where BIOS information is stored. Many of the settings were bit values, set or cleared according to their function. Some are lost when just peeking them. The thing is to set up a series of list boxes or even a Web interface so when you hit OK the memory locations are written to. You would have to reboot the computer to have the values take effect but each and every value should be settable. Admittedly you will require some more technical information. There are however downloadable BIOS updates so, it has to be possible.
