internal clock help

[Guest kraine]

Just replaced the cmos battery, but still get this message, (and the

clock/date still doesn't work properly, I really need it to).

 

"Calendar can't find one or more of the files it needs to run. Run the

calendar set up program again to install the missing files..."

 

my problem:

I don't have any discs with the laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDT

(PA1230U-T2C). It runs WIn98 (don't have that disk either). The laptop also

doesn't have internet.

 

I would download something on my good laptop to CD, then run it on the

TOshiba. But not sure how do to this? and what to download?

 

Any help is GREATLY and gratefully appreciated, you guys are terrific!

Re: internal clock help

 

 

As I attempted to indicate in the previous discussion, this generally comes

from either Outlook, possibly Works, or a third party program...

 

Look in Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall the trouble program..

 

IF you can't locate it OR it won't uninstall, use MSCONFG to look for

entries causing the issue, check Startup entries, win.ini, system.ini,

autoexec.bat and config.sys. You can also use SYSEDIT to double check.

AND look in IE for its Calendar reference {in Programs tab} and make it

blank or none.

 

IF you are unable to locate the calendar reference, or get rid of the issue,

use a tool such as RegSeeker to search for entries. MAKE SURE you post what

is found in here BEFORE you removed the entries so someone can provide

advise.

If it is necessary for you to get the clock working properly

and replacing the CMOS battery did not do the trick, then the machine has a

more serious problem

and I'd hold off on getting your application fixed until the machine itself

is working.

 

If you can get by with manually resting the date, then you should try

reinstalling your "Calendar" program.

 

All you will need is the CD that you originally installed it from,

you will not (yet) need a Windows CD.

If you are saying that the date or time settings are still not being retained,

try starting the computer in Safe mode by tapping the F8 key during

bootup. If this helps, then some application is resetting the computer

during bootup, perhaps the very program you are trying to configure.

If you don't want or need the calendar program, click "Start", "Run", type

"msconfig" and click "OK". Then click on the "Startup" tab, find

"calendar.exe" and uncheck it.

Calendar.exe is not part of Windows 98.

If you need "calendar.exe", it was included in older versions of Windows,

including Windows 3.1 and will probably run on Windows 98, if you can

find a copy of it.

You should be able to find a Win98-compatible wireless card for under US$20.

Re: internal clock help

 

THanks so much for writing back. The "calendar" I don't think is from any

program, it's from the laptop itself, where it tells the time and date at the

bottom right of my screen. I assumed it was from the windows program; when I

open it to re-set it every day, it says "Date and Time Properties." thanks,

Kathy

Ok sorry, I though you had some type of software that was not working...

anyway, if you put in a new cmos battery and the setting do no hold,

then the laptop has a real problem.

I'd check to make sure the new battery is really good...

and that the connections are clean...

and the battery fits properly.

 

BTW: If you do need to reinstall Windows...

the first thing to do is check with the manufacturer to see if they have a

restore CD.

 

If they do have one at low price, it would be worth it to get one.

 

OTOH: If a restore CD is not avail,

though I'm sure you could find a Win98 cd cheap enough on Ebay...

it would probably lack many of the specific drivers your machine would

need...

and though it wouldprobably be possible to obtain them....

it may end up being a lot of work

Sounds like a good call - it would certainly explain the 'Calendar' reports,

but not the time-keeping issues with the clock.

 

Apparently, the CMOS battery is a NiMH type - a 'rechargeable' one - which

might take a day or two to charge-up sufficiently, before the CMOS clock

(and settings) becomes stable again

Re: internal clock help

 

Malfunctioning software, perhaps designed to affect the clock

in some way, may be invalidating the CMOS causing a reset.

 

Just a guess...

 

....and from an admitted non-expert.

Re: internal clock help

 

Let me try this one more time; from the diagnostic part of my PRIOR post:

 

"IF you are unable to locate the calendar reference, or get rid of the

issue,

use a tool such as RegSeeker to search for entries. MAKE SURE you post what

is found in here BEFORE you removed the entries so someone can provide

advise."

Re: internal clock help

 

If you are opening it by double-clicking on the time and you get a for the

says "Date/Time Properties where you set the date and time then that is the

Windows date/time application, and if it's not working then you have a

faulty Windows installation. The advice already provided for finding and

fixing it is relevant.

 

If it's part of the laptop itself then it could be hardware or software, but

it's not Windows. My Toshiba shows the date and time and battery power

remaining in a small LCD panel above the keyboard. I don't think that's

what you are referring to, but if it, is then any problem with that display

is probably a hardware problem, or perhaps a BIOS setup problem. If the

panel display is handled in software (I would doubt it), then it's only

going to be fixed by finding, downloading and installing the correct

software for that particular machine. That has nothing to do with Windows,

and only by researching your machine details are you going to be able .
