I had a problem (although no crashes) when I either installed something or played around with some system files and managed to get an old version of "setpatch" installed onto the system... Make sure you have the latest version suitable for you OS version (I'm only guessing here, but you'd get problems if you ran a version of setpatch that was designed with say OS39 in mind, onto OS3.0 for example)... Check the version on your hard drive with the version that is on the WB disks, if the one on the hard drive is older than the one on the floppy/CD, then just copy the newer one over to the HD.

Sorry I can't help you with the clock issue - seeing as you have ruled out the battery :)

I'm also a non-smoker, so I will live longer than you... Oh, sorry, I mean I can't help you with that one either :)

Rich.
