When I turned on my Vibrant 166/48; everything halted and this message appeared on the screen. 'SYSTEM CMOS CHECKSUM BAD-RUN SET UP' PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE-F8 TO RUN SETUP.
Pressing F1 repeated the message but F8 brought up the setup screen and I restored the defaults not knowing what else to do. It worked as I am now useing the computer, but what can I expect to happen and can I do anything to repair it? Thanks for any help.
