Compaq is HP so best is to ask them, there, now here.
RTC error mean , the RTC coin cell is dead.
all PCs this old are dead battery ,
RTC= real time clock chip says IM DEAD, but is battery dead ,..
remove the coin cell, and put in a new one.
end story.
then set time .
best is to set time in BIOS setup. 1st.
this Compaq is 18 years old now. or 126 dog years.
id , push it off a cliff on the 4th July with fireworks. and all.
let me guess its XP the VIRUS magnet.
some this old are windows 98
a hopeless case there, no? no support, no books and no updates.
the books at HP are long gone
so now all books are , sold by horders. $$$
it can be costly and dangerous to deal with folks like that.
the book you lost , , the answer is on page 18
seen here
see coin, remove it and put in new one. end story.

THE BEST SOLUTION IS TO FORMAT IT AND REINSTALL THE OPERATING SYSTEM. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO SO, BETTER CONTACT YOUR SYSTEM VENDOR OR IT PROFESSIONAL.
