Patrick Truly a useful application. Have been using various versions for several years. I will give it a try then. I tried Dimension 4 as mentioned by another list member, but for some particular reason it won't work. Probably this is caused by my ISP which is blocking almost every communication other than regular site-visiting.

If it does not go to the usenet news forums and post a Q at: there are motherboards where the battery isnt used for the clock. Clock can sit in a special chip made (amongst others) by a company called Dallas (forgot the rest of the name). Anyway you can depending on motherboard have the situation that the board remembers the bios settings but if the clock chip or its build in battery (if thats what you have) arent working properly... I used a utility in the past which would warn me if the time/date went backwards as its quite painful to run system utilities with the wrong date and also some programs may stop running if they thing you mess with the clock. Anyway, do you know exact type / brand of the motherboard? It can be that chip with its long life build in battery having a problem OR of the board is still under waranty I would try to get a replacement/proper working board. Under most circumstances this kind of odd behaviour would be a hardware problem. microsoft.public.win98.power_mgmt microsoft.public.win98.shell Best regards, tracer -- Using theBAT 1.46 Beta/3 with Windows 98 mail to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am using FireTalk: 321338 ICQ: on request Website: www.phuketcomputers.com Our special website hosting/mailservers are now operational -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

JA I think some of the time issues are OS and running apps related. JA This is surprising, since I thought all clock functions were handled JA by a separate chip on the mother board. A seperate chip, or on the same chip, I don't know that, it's the chipmaker's design. But it is seperate from the processor; it' s called the oscillator and it oscillates (swings) with a certain frequency. I believe they use certain crystals for that, because crystals tend to oscillate with constant frequencies due to their physical properties. This frequency is then fed into the processor, often divided by a factor first, and is called something which I cannot remember. The idea is to have the processor process the processes, or their steps, in a fixed rythm, for ovious reasons. JA Why processor load should affect the clock is beyond me. Oh well. It wouldn't acutally make any sense. High processor load just means that there are many processes which wait in the queue until it's thier turn. That's why apps seem to run slower. The processor itself always works with the same speed. And it doesn't give any feedback to the oscillator, that's a one-way street. I would think there is either something wrong with your oscillator (built on a Monday?), or with the software that translates the info into a human-readable "clock" which advances by "seconds". he just hasn't figured out yet how to set the time on his PC.
