Checking CMOS Battery
No.
It's about $2 to replace the battery. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Client - Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/Windows "Jack Gillis" wrote in message ... Is there a utility that will allow me to check the status of the CMOS battery from Windows XP? Thank you. |

The is no utility to check the voltage of the battery when the battery is still in the PC and XP is running. Taking the battery out to test it with a battery tester / multi meter will cause the CMOS to erase itself, back to defaults. One quick check is to make sure that your PC is not loosing date/time settings. If it is, the you should change the battery, after noting down the setting in the CMOS on paper. -- --- Y. |
