161 Bad CMOS Battery (how could it be naughty, it's been asleep 3 years?)Dead !
Replace It's in a coma 163 Date and Timer Incorrect-F1,it wants you to enter BIOS,set date/time. New battery,should activate memory,allowing a sys restore,or sys recovery. 1762 Configuration Change has occurred-restore-unknown how except suggestion above. Keep that boat afloat.LOL |

Neal I just booted up my old Compaq Win95 and it's smooth as a baby's bot. No problems with it.

Replacing the battery should fix all of those first few errors. I had to do this a few years ago. Write down all the info on the battery and I think you can still get them at Radio Shack or whatever your electronics store of choice is. Mine was a bit of a B to remove and replace so you may be in for a struggle.
You may want to try the above first before tackling the second problem as it will cure your computer's Alzheimers, as you know. After you do the usual connection checks, go to the BIOS and check all the stuff there, namely that you are booting from HDD. Beyond that, post back with any discoveries or progress you make! |

I usually see a lot of old systems at places like Salvation Army and Waterfront Mission, Goodwill, etc. Great places to find old National Geographic maps, books, furniture, etc.
Yours, Mike |

Ok, status update: I pulled the PS so I could get at the motherboard battery. It was still a struggle, but I got it out. I went to Circuit City and had the Joe grab a new one. Got home, put it in... it was too thin and the little clip did not press it down properly

You can get those batterys from any drug store too...popping those batterys out was the way to get around someone who has passworded the boot sequence...btw some of those cmos batterys were never made to be removed...
