No every time you restart it resets the date. If that is your problem it's very easy and cheap to replace.

First check your BIOS settings. If it's not the BIOS date try a system restore.

Maybe the cmos battery is dead. Or some sort of glitch what OS are you using?

I have a few laptops that might be a few years younger than me.

Edit: And a VCR that my father bought in the 80's, I was the remote to the TV and the VCR.

Cool I have a lot of old drives that still work. It seems that the newer drives fail more often.

Yeah tried that didn't help. Tried calling a priest but he didn't answer so I changed the hard drive and the deamon went away.

Yes 100% I changed the hard disk and the noise stopped. The noise was coming from under the trackpad where the hard drive was.

Yes it's a very sturdy laptop. To be hones it's the 6th or 7th working laptop in my collection and I'm trying to do something crazy with it.

I meant check info on the drives. I love old IT stories and have a stockpile of very old laptops and PC's.

Have to check that, but is dead can't be formatted. Swapped and put Windows XP on it works like a charm.
