Preasrio 7360, running Win98SE, loses time. I have replaced the CMOS battery, scanned with AdAware, SpyBot and run anti-virus. Diagnostics finds nothing wrong. The PC operates just fine but the slow clock is a concern. Is this an indication that the PC is dying? Any suggestions?

I was given a dead Presario 7478 (no disks) that I revived with an eBay motherboard. It boots to a W-98 screen, tells me the display driver is wrong (the display is readable, but out of proportion), and will not recognize the CD and CDRW drives. The lights light up on the drives, so I have reason...
