Answer»

When I boot up I instantly GET error message 00173 and 00163

JLEXACT error message, and Windows version, please.error 00173 and 00163  old IBM Thinkpad 600E, Windows 98 not sure if its NEWER version of 98 or just 98.  Sometimes I can get past the error and put new date and time and then comes the circle off and straight line on (can't touch these at all) I think its the I/O?

OK  CANCELSorry for nagging questions. I thought, it was more to that message.
Your errors refer to dead/dying CMOS battery. You NEED to replace it.

It looks like this:
thank you very much for your help.

JLI'll be more happy, when you replace it, and report, that everything works fine I have the exact same problem, and I thought it might be the CMOS, because it keeps asking for the time and date.

I am also having issues with the battery not recharging, would the CMOS be causing this problem, or is the battery LIKELY dead?

Thanks!!!bdphifer
