> Does it matter if the laptop is running on battery power or the power brick?
Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. It's a desktop, not a laptop. I'm thinking that the other two answers might be on the money. I'm going to replace the CMOS battery and see if that fixes it. That is, of course, assuming I can get the damn thing open. Dell has a truly annoying habit of making every iteration of their cases open in a different manner, and it's never obvious. It's like some kind of puzzle. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
