TP 770E/ED - 173/163 Time and date errors in Windows 95/98
Applicable to: World-Wide
SYMPTOM:
At boot, the system indicates a 173 and 163 (set time and date) error. This can be intermittent, and the time and date screen show the correct information.
CONFIGURATION:
For isolation, check the date of the ThinkPad Configuration program, TPW95.EXE (normally in the \thinkpad subdirectory) on any ThinkPad 770E/ED running Windows 95/98. TPW95.EXE dated 10/97 or earlier does not support the 770E and ED and will generate the errors on the next reboot after running the program, even if no changes were made to the configuration.
SOLUTION:
Update the ThinkPad Configuration Program. TPW95.EXE dated 2/98 or newer is required. Since the TPW95.EXE file is part of the ThinkPad Configuration program, you will need to download the ThinkPad Utility disks (3 of them) and install it. To download the latest version of the ThinkPad Utility diskettes, click here.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The symptom may be reported as intermittent because the relationship to running the ThinkPad Configuration Program may not be noticed.
