Re: Invalid Serial warning because of failed CMOS battery.

If you have SE set to Start With Windows (and reset the clock in Windows, rather than BIOS), it will 'encounter' that radically-wrong date (1899/1900?) as you log on / it starts (before the re-set).

If you either start SE manually after the clock re-set, or do the latter in the BIOS, it shouldn't happen.
