Guest clover64 Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Hi all....my computer clock has started to lose time-its half an hour behind now-what could be causing this?Also my computer is getting very sluggish.I get rid of all the rubbish and unused progs. regularly,and run defrag and norton utilities.I am using windows 98se on an older computer with 184 megs of ram. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 It sounds like your BIOS Battery is on its last legs, try replacing it and see if it helps.If you are unsure as to what a BIOS battery is or how to replace 1 then post back and Im sure some1 will explain how to do this ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
