Booting up my old IBM T23 Thinkpad, all of a sudden, I started getting the
following error message: "Resource Conflict - Allocation error static node #
05" and from what I've researched, I think it might just be the CMOS battery, anyone have any other ideas?
Are you getting a date & time error ?. you could always try just resetting the bios.... remove the bios battery AND the battery itself for about five minutes or so. install it all again and boot up.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was going to try that but removing the battery alone seens to be a major task the was it's installed. The wires run under the housing so the whole laptop housing has to be taken apart. I Googled the error and most hits referred to a bad CMOS battery. The PC is at least 7 or 8 years old so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. I just ordered a new CMOS battery off of Ebay for a whole $3.50 so I figure that's worth a try. Of course, looking at the way this thing is slapped together (housing and all which has to be removed to get to the battery plugin), I would not be surprised if I end up having to take it to a shop just to have the battery swapped out. I'll post the results when I replace the battery. Thanks again for the suggestion.
