AST RESEARCH TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-0053A 11-8-84
CORRECTING THE TIME/DATE OF THE AST CLOCK*
SYMPTON: It appears the clock is set correctly because the
time and date remain correct while the machine is
on. However, after rebooting or turning power
back on to your PC, the time and/or date are
incorrect. This symptom may be an indication that
the ASTCLOCK has not been set.
EXPLANATION: The ASTCLOCK is accessed only at power up or upon
rebooting. The time and date remain correct while
there is power to the machine because you are
utilizing the system clock.
PROBLEM: If the ASTCLOCK utility is executed prior to
running the SETCLOCK utility, it may be preventing
the correction of the time/date in the AST clock.
SOLUTION 1: Temporarily remove the ASTCLOCK utility from your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Reboot the machine. Follow
the procedure in your manual for setting the AST
clock. Restore your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to its
original configuration by inserting ASTCLOCK.
SOLUTION 2: Interrupt your AUTOEXEC.BAT file prior to
execution of ASTCLOCK using the CONTROL-C
function. Follow the procedure in your manual for
setting the AST clock.
