If KillCmos does not work, then the odds are good that the motherboard
has a jumper pin that must be moved in order to write to the CMOS, as
a protection against virus contamination.   Contact ACER about this
jumper or check the manual that came with the laptop or investigate
their web site.

We maintain KillCmos and other good CMOS utility files on The NOSPIN
Group File download page:  http://nospin.com/pc/files001.html
for hardware utilities.
