Solve : Tried to remove CMOS battery...computer acting up now?

Answer»

Ok so I tried to remove my CMOS battery, I GUESS I must have lifted it up and it went back into place. I just wanted to see the model number

I restarted it, got a "Battery is low volatage" message for the first time, and now everytime I try to sign onto msn, it says "No connection found". Also, for a few websites, I now get the "DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE RISKS?" page, have to agree to it, add the exception, and THEN the page works

Everything else is fine. I know I have to replace the battery, but there are 2 slots holding it down...I can't even take it out. I have a Dell Dimension 4500s

Will this problem go away once I replace the battery? I don't get the message on EVERY site, only a few. Also the MSN thing is annoying...

Thanks a lot!This is from your computer's manual

Also, make sure that you are grounded to the computer's CASE the whole time you are working inside of it. Static electricity can fry your motherboard!Also, why do you think that you NEED to replace the battery?

Do the website WARNINGS only happen in Internet Explorer? Do you have another web browser?The # on a CMOS battery is usually facing up and doesn't need to be removed...
Part # CR 2032...available anywhere.
