Windows ME(Melineum Edition 2000) Help!
My ME computer is acting up again. When I boot up the screen says the CMOS settings are wrong. I changes the settings but the computer does not keep it. Note-I do shut it down properly and it is a used computer. If chose the other option it says Hard drive not found and then it says the CD rom drive cannot be found. Please help.

First, Either a bios virus or a simple CMOS battery replacement (last most likely) Replace that first then We'll continue on from there. It is a standard watch battery, so open the case with a static strap and you sould be able to find it. Remove it and go to walmart and show them the battery at the jewelry dept. Very easy maitainance procedure unless it is an old proprietary system. Then the CMOS bat might be a problem to replace. See if the replacement fixes the prob. If not give me an update.
