As it stands now I start the computer and then come back in about 10 minutes for the reset. Last time with this procedure it took only one reset. >
Maybe the mobo battery. If you pull the power cord for a while and then plug it back in and boot up, is the date wrong? (And probably other things like the screen resolution.) If so you need a new battery. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
