Hi Ken,
I was having the same problem with my clock by it being slow as the compter
was running...I looked at the actual second hand and it was definitely not
moving like it should. By doing your command promt instructions it seems to
be working fine now.
In another issue my PC card slot seems to have stopped working. It had been
fine until Friday of last week. When I put the Linksys card in I am not even
getting the power light to come on, nor am I getting the little icon in the
system tray to signify that the computer is recognizing the card.
