          Also, I have tried setting the time and date in the bios, and it does not help.  [highlight]The time and date reset instantly when I exit, even if I save.[/highlight]
          Are you 100% sure you are saving correctly, if so the setting should save until you reboot, even without a battery fitted.
          You need to carefully read the bios screen when saving, the prompts to save seem to be written by idiots.

            I am positive, Fed.  I changed the factory date to the current date in Setup, and then I clicked on "Save & Exit" (something like that; can't remember the exact text), which rebooted the computer.  When it rebooted, I got the exact same error message and went back to Setup.  The date resetted back to the factory date, and the time went back to midnight.  The same thing happens when I change the date and time under Windows.  Is there any other way to do this?  My computer has an AMI Bios.  Also, I have noticed that the BIOS is not up to date.  The version available on the HP website is higher than what is on that PC.

            It appears that the time and date is the only thing that is affected so far that badly.  No problems with the hard drive thus far.  The most important thing is that the computer is able to boot successfully.  I don't encounter any slowdowns when Windows is running either.  (By the way, the modem was removed recently, so this computer can't access the internet any longer.  This computer had dial-up, and obviously isn't powerful enough to handle ethernet.  At least I think.)

            At any rate, I'm not sure if the pins holding the battery down were bent or not.

            ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To GX1_Man:
            Do you need any more of the Everest report?  There's still more of it.  Fortunately I copied the report from the floppy disk to my external hard drive, so that I do not need to reconnect the Dell Dimension 8200 again.

            I'm thinking it may be better if this old computer gets sent to the Geek Squad over at Best Buy.  I know I'll need the CD-ROMs and floppy disks, but they should know what to do to fix the issue.

            What they will do is charge you about $100 which is about $99 dollars more than this Pentium 200 non MMX machine is worth. Surely you can find a better use for your money. I like old machines, but I know when to quit throwing good money after bad.  ;)

                While on a break from work, I found this pdf file.  Take a look.  This is the manual for my old computer's motherboard.

                ftp://download.intel.com/design/motherbd/oem/28181002.pdf

                Check out the diagram for the motherboard, and look at section 1.7.3

                From what I remember, this battery has two metal pins holding it in place on the side, and another contact on the bottom.  There's nothing holding it in on the top.  The battery has to be in snugly.  It should be.

                Also be sure to check out section 1.11 (Jumper settings for CMOS are there)

                Edit:  This Christmas vacation I'm going to ask my father to check the RAM.  I did see a "Memory Size Decreased" message at bootup, from what I remember...

                Latest edit:  Actually, I'd suggest you look at anything that you think may help me.  (I hope that the motherboard's capacitors are okay.)
