I appreciate the info about checking the BIOS but I just purchased this computer and don't know a whole lot about it. I know it has Windows XP. Where would I locate the BIOS on my computer? I went into the control panel and it has an option for the date and time and I set it to the correct time. Is this what your talking about or is it something different?
 
On boot up. Look when the system first starts and it shows a black screen
that shows you your memory size, hard drive size,etc.. You will need to look
fast because it leaves the screen as fast as it come on it. Look in the
upper left hand corner when you first see the black screen. It will tell you
there.

Only you know what motherboard and BIOS you have, so only you know
the answer to your question. ;-}

In the extremely unlikely event that your PC's manual doesn't
contain the needed information, try one or more of the following:

How do I access my computer's setup (BIOS)

You should also be aware that it's very easy to render, at least
temporarily, your PC unbootable by making an incorrect change in the
BIOS. So be very careful.

Well here's an idea for you - how about reading the manual?! They're not
included to make up postage weight you know!
 
I own three computers and I've not gotten a manual with any of them. That happens when you buy "used".
 
Do you even know where to find one if you need it?

(By the way Richard, I liked Crusty Old Bastard better!)
 
Change works in both directions!
