Hehe it was funny though  :D

Could be a dogy installation but then I'm retarded when it comes to P.C's.

Try computing.net People there have always managed to get to the bottom of any problems I've had and done so swiftly and accuratly.

Maybe, to complicate things, it is a problem with the CMOS battery.


Can you be more specific?

Either she forgot to hit the "save" button, she has a virus, or her cmos battery is fucked...but that wouldn't do anything to the info on the HD

Maybe it formats on reboot, but that would vall under the virus category ;)

Tell your friend to stop using the "Redneck" portion of the Rinkworks Dialectizer.

And I'll make as many smartass remarks as I like.  It's in my contract.   :P
