Ärende: My Year Changed
=======================

August, You might be right. This afternoon when I turned the laptop on I
got a window opened in my face that said my clock was reset. It was the
same window I see twice a year when Daylight Savings Time begins & ends.

When the clock window opened I noticed the date was January 1980, so I
changed it to July 17, 2005.

When I bought the laptop I bought an extended warranty, but I didn't
re-new it when it expired, so I guess I'll have to pay CIrcuit City some
bucks to get the CMOS battery replaced if it keeps changing the date
like it has been doing.
Alan and Charles are smarter than I am about keeping the warranty going.

I don't know about opening this box up a la Jean Parrot and doing it
myself.

The laptop is a AcerNote Light P133. The only thing I've added to it is
a 32MB memory card, I think it was called a SO-DIMM, to bring the memory
up to 48MB.

The last week or so I've been D/L'ing AVG free and trying to install it.
I say trying because the installation went as far as asking for a copy
of DCOM95 and ending.
So I got DCOM95 from MS's D/L site and finally got AVG up and running.
AVG is already telling me I need a update so the next time I get on the
net I'll go to grisoft and grab one.

I already D/L'd the 5MB one at the bottom of their screen and thought
I'd be good for a couple of weeks or so.   :-(
I had that update file on my box when I installed AVG, so I guess AVG
probably used it when it was installing.

I scanned the 1.34MB harddrive and it took over an hour and a half.
At least I had this QWK packet on the DOS box so I could read FIDO mail
while I was waiting for it to finish scanning every file on the drive,
about 900MB.   ;-)

I made a AVG Rescue Disk also, only it was 5 1.44MB disks.
