Hello ZB, hello Eric,
I found some basic information here: https://www.daqarta.com/y2kure.htm
(I mean "BACKGROUND" paragraph), but when possible I'd like simply to modify
BIOS and resolve the problem "once for always"
It basically says there are many ways in which hardware or
software could fail to handle the year, but you do not say
WHICH of them affect YOU. In particular, you could give it
a try and change that "19" to "20" in your CMOS memory :-)
Maybe your BIOS just fails to store the changed values.
I guess it cannot hurt to ask a few questions:
1) What does the PC say that the "current date" is, at startup?
2) What version of DOS is it running?
I am wondering if the problem is that the old PC does not have a working
real-time clock at all, which would mean it cannot keep track of the
time once the power goes off.
Thank you!
