XP Pro w/SP2.
New in the past few days and I find nothing in KB.
When I boot up, I go automatically into Setup mode.

Please be more descriptive about what is happening. Are you saying you
are taken to the BIOS setup or an XP installation setup? Here is a link
that will show you what kind of information to include in a newsgroup

Maybe I should be in another NG?

This is a hardware problem, but probably easily solved by replacing your
motherboard battery (costs around $4usd). Try that and see if it solves
the issue. If not, then you should post in a hardware group or - if
your computer is an OEM machine (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.) - contact the
OEM's tech support.

Here is a list of all the MS newsgroups:

If you decide to post in a group, go here first to see what kind of
information to include so you get good answers:
