Systems currently known to experience this problem are: o Toshiba Satelite 420 Laptop o Toshiba Satelite 210 Laptop o IBM Valuepoint xxxxx o IBM PC340 To see if your system has this problem after applying one of the Fixpaks mentioned above, do the following: 1. Shutdown all applications 2. Start the System Clock program from the System Setup folder 3. Click mouse button 2 on the clock face, select properties. 4. Click on the View tab 5. Select "Both date and time" under Information 6. Select "Digital" under Mode. 7. Click on the "Date/Time" tab 8. Set system time to 11:59:30 9. Set system date to 28 10. Close the Properties window Watch the date as the time crosses midnight. If it jumps to the 1st of the month then you have the problem, follow the instructions below. If not, you do not have the problem and do not need to apply the fix below. In either case, reset the clock to the correct date and time after the test. To resolve this problem, replace CLOCK01.SYS in the OS2\BOOT directory of your boot drive with the one from CLOCK01.ZIP in this directory. Instructions: 1. Download CLOCK01.ZIP in binary 2. Unzip CLOCK01.ZIP (Use UNZIP or PKUNZIP) ==> 4-27-98 5:07p 4400 clock01.sys 3. Rename \OS2\BOOT\CLOCK01.SYS CLOCK01.FPK on your boot drive 4. Copy CLOCK01.ZIP to \OS2\BOOT on your boot drive 5. Shutdown and reboot your system. Repeat the test to verify the problem is fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
