REQ: Problem with system time-clock

I have a strange situation with this computer that I don't understand.
It has three SDRAM sockets which had 256MB, 128MB and 128MB. I wanted
to switch a 128MB for a 256MB. So I pulled the center module.

When I turned the computer on, an extraordinarily long boot reminded
me that I had forgotten to replace the memory module. But it
seemed to work okay.

I sent several emails and shut down. Then I went to my second
computer and sent a message to myself.

I rebooted first computer and found the email I sent myself did not
arrive. I determined that I was not receiving email at all.

Then I noticed that the computer calendar/clock reflected the time
several days earlier from the day I pulled the memory. So I re-
installed ther memory module that I had pulled and reset the time.
Now I find that the clock stops when I shut down.

Any idea what this means?

You need to either reset the CMOS (this can be done by either removing the
battery or moving a jumper - see your board manual for details) or replace
the battery. My money's on the latter.
 
I installed my travel ling 630C printer on a W98SE machine and can't
get beyond the error message saying the printer is out of paper, which
it is not.

I can print a test page on the printer itself (standalone-w/o the
computer) so the printer will print ok.

Anyone suggest anything I can try?

Thanks
