To update the BIOS on the 5580 to the newest version, follow this procedure :

Why doesn't the system time resume when the system resumes from suspend mode?

It has been known that the system time in Windows 95 on the 5580 will remain at the time when the suspend button is pressed, even after the system has been resumed. The resolution for this problem is to install or re-install Windows 95 with the power management enabled in the BIOS.
