    Question System looses time w/screensaver

    Have a computer running Windows ME that looses time when the screen saver activates... its like it goes into a "time out" when the screen saver comes on, but then resumes time from where it left off when the screen saver is de-activated... any ideas?

    Hmmm, possible Mobo / bios issue.

    I'd say flash the bios with the latest version to see if that helps.

    WinMe did have a lot of issues, and from what I hear, still does.

    Here is a good article from Microsoft. Worth taking some time with...
