Clock missing
Anyone heard of a spyware or adware or whatever, that
screws up your clock? I go to properties and uncheck it and where the clock is theres an invisible spot that opens and closes. If I go to the system file or click on the blank spot the clock properties come up! I dont know what happened? |

Clock missing
Have you rebooted since this happened? If so, you might want to try a
registry resto If this problem is less than five days old, restore a copy of the registry that predates the onset of the problem and see if that helps. The five-day limit assumes that the computer is booted every day. If it is not booted every day, you may have an old enough registry backup that you can use even though more than five days have elapsed. Any registry changes made after the date of the restored registry will be lost. On the Start Menu, select Shut Down and Restart in MSDOS Mode. At the Windows prompt, type: scanreg /restore and hit enter. Once the registry restore screen appears, select the date of the registry that you wish to restore by highlighting it and then click enter. If you see a registry named: Rbbad.cab, that is a copy of the registry that has already been replaced. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "dark" wrote in message ...

Visit a website? Open a newgroup posting? (best to read mail/newsgroup postings in a reader with plain text settings, or one that doesn't do HTML posts/messages) Sometimes reinstalling the OS over itself can restore those missing apps/features (also put in excess links, especially if you have rearranged the Start Menu, but such is life.) Try this on a hunch: Download TClockEx http://www.rcis.co.za/dale/tclockex/index.htm "TClockEx enhances the standard Windows taskbar clock, adding the ability to display the date, time and lots of other information in any format you like. TClockEx is highly customizable, from the format to the font and colour, and even the tooltip information. Many people have wondered why this wasn't built into the standard clock to begin with." It might be that the width is too small. There maybe no entries to show what to display. -- Sincerely, | (©) (©) | ------ooo--(_)--ooo------ Andrew H.
