I have Performa6116cd, whenever I turn it off
the date/time is reset to 1956. I've changed the battery, ran norton anti-virus and upgraded to system 8.1 any help?
thanks !

I'm guessing this probably won't solve it, but try zapping the parameter RAM (PRAM) by restarting and holding down command-option-PR. After you hear another startup chime, release the keys and the machine will start up. This small chunk of memory can sometimes get corrupted � it stores some control panel settings, and I don't know if the Date & Time control panel is one of them.
