I have an IBM Netvista 42u desktop with a system clock problem. When you shut the computer down the clock also stops. Power up and the clock starts again right where it left off! So far I've installed a brand new cmos battery and flashed it with the latest bios. Still,no change. I've searched for many hours but can't get a handle on this problem. I'm truly stumped......???

Have you tried resetting everything to default (or safe settings) in the BIOS and then going back in and making the customizations you want?

Is that the time according to the BIOS or the time according to Windows or BOTH??

Both!
At any rate, Your suggestion worked! I reset everything in the bios again but this time I actually had to remove the battery AND UNPLUG the power cord in order for the bios clock to reset! Just using the jumper and even removing the battery would not reset time/date??? Weird! Well thanks for the brain power. All is well now..... :O)
