I would sugguest checking the battery if you have a multimeter, if not,
they shouldn't be more than a couple bucks... If it's an older system,
it's probably dead.

Greetings all..

when booting this PC I get an error message that
says " CMOS cleared, reset CLRMOS Jumpers to the
original settings and reboot the PC".

OK..There is a set of 3 pins on the motherboard
labeled CLRCMOS. I figure that was pretty self
explanitory. the jumpers were set at pins 1+2 . I
changed the jumpers to pins 2+3.... rebooted.. same
error ..

Then I just removed the jumpers totally.. rebooted..
same error..

I sent email to HP.. they politely said.. sorry
bubba... the box is to old so we dont care..

their website was less than helpful.. and a Google
search did little to help.. any ideas here ?

Thanks !

Mark
