So, what is a utility called "KillCMOS" supposed to do? Sounds to me like
it killed your CMOS "real good"!

When I compare the extremely clear, though limited, choices available in my
755CE's BIOS setup screens to the extraordinarily cryptic, sparsely
documented, though highly flexible choices available on my desktop's BIOS,
I am amazed that anyone would use a utility on the ThinkPad to try to
simplify its BIOS setting. (If that's what KillCMOS is supposed to do...)
