Bob and I are usually around here in the evenings. I'm normally around a little later than when Bob shows up though. If you have a specific time in mind, I can show up then. But clearing cmos is a fairly simple job, and my other post is the normal way it is done. It is always best to follow the instructions given in the manual though.

I don't know for certain what caused your snafu, and I'm a little reluctant to speculate from long distance. Guessing on this stuff probably won't help you much.

Let us know when you want to try to do this and I'll try to be here, for moral support if nothing else.
