Configuration settings in BIOS Subject: Configuration settings in BIOS OS: Windows 98 SE CPU/Ram: Pentium II System Manufacturer: IBM Comment: Please help, I have done some research on this error and I'm completely stuck. Whenever I turn on my computer (A Laptop, IBM ThinkPad 600E), I use to get errors 161 (Problem with battery)and 163 (Date & Time needs to be Configured). I replaced my CMOS battery with a new one. Now the 163 error still comes up, but the 161 error is replaced with a 173 error (Configureation info needs to be set). and 301 Every time I start up my computer and those errors come up, I think it tries to go into some kind of Restore program in BIOS but it says ERROR really big with error numbers 00163 and 00173. From there, the only options are OK and Cancel. Either one I select, an arrow points to an Owners Manual. The problem is, I dont have the owners manual for this laptop. After that, I cant do anything. I try starting up from a floppy, but It shows me that error before it starts reading the floppy. My friend found out that We can probobly comfigure it if we pushed the F1 key wile booting up. It does nothing, If you hold it down wile it's booting up, you'll get error 301 in addition to the other two. That error just means that there is something wrong with the keyboard. I am out of Ideas, if anyone knows how to configure date and time settings, please help. this was something that was put up on web 2004. i have the same problem dec 2006. Has anyone found a solver for this problem?

... ah, an an old post I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter
