Without any TSRs loaded, my DOS clock on the Compuadd 286 correctly changes over to the next date after midnight for *more than two successive nights* (I use MS-DOS 3.3). But with Explosiv, Vshield, Quickeys, and Clockon loaded as TSRs, the date does not roll-over at midnight. Well, on my Compaq 286, also running with many TSRs (none of the ones you mention, though), Explosiv seems to cause my clock to simply stop dead during the time that Explosiv blanks the screen: if I leave the machine for 3 hours, when I come back the clock is off by three hours. It's very easy to test and see that the immediate cause is Explosiv blanking the screen. The exact same behavior occurs on another machine (not a Compaq, not running any TSRs except for Explosiv). *Very* annoying, as it's such a nice screen saver. But I've had to stop using it.
