CORRECTING THE TIME/DATE OF THE AST CLOCK*
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYMPTON: It appears the clock is set correctly because the
|
|
time and date remain correct while the machine is
|
|
on. However, after rebooting or turning power
|
|
back on to your PC, the time and/or date are
|
|
incorrect. This symptom may be an indication that
|
|
the ASTCLOCK has not been set.
|
|
|
|
EXPLANATION: The ASTCLOCK is accessed only at power up or upon
|
|
rebooting. The time and date remain correct while
|
|
there is power to the machine because you are
|
|
utilizing the system clock.
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM: If the ASTCLOCK utility is executed prior to
|
|
running the SETCLOCK utility, it may be preventing
|
|
the correction of the time/date in the AST clock.
|
|
|
|
SOLUTION 1: Temporarily remove the ASTCLOCK utility from your
|
|
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Reboot the machine. Follow
|
|
the procedure in your manual for setting the AST
|
|
clock. Restore your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to its
|
|
original configuration by inserting ASTCLOCK.
|
|
|
|
SOLUTION 2: Interrupt your AUTOEXEC.BAT file prior to
|
|
execution of ASTCLOCK using the CONTROL-C
|
|
function. Follow the procedure in your manual for
|
|
setting the AST clock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Applies only to those products which use the SETCLOCK.COM
|
|
utility. Those which use the ASTCLOCK.COM utility are reset
|
|
with the /R parameter as described in the User Manual.
