RE: Clock Resetting on Power Up

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Thanks for your helpful replies. I am only losing time when the computer is
running. So it looks as if I am lucky and I won't need to change the
motherboard battery.

Also the time loss is not all that much so maybe there is nothing to worry
about anyway.

Following the previous response to my problem I can recommend checking out
the website for the company who manufactured your computer.

My computer is a HP and HP provided a step by step instruction *** on
their website on how to change the battery, which was very easy to follow.
The battery itself is one that I can pick up from the supermarket for very
little money.

This would be a problem because I am not skilled enough to mess about inside
the base unit.

I am wondering if there is any other solution to this problem.

By the way the computer is not connected to the internet so I can't set the
time from the net.

Thanks,

I have a problem with the clock on my computer resetting on power up to 01
January 2002 00:00. This happens every time I start the computer and has a
knock on effect to other applications.

I am running a desktop with Windows XP Media Centre Edition.

About four weeks ago I had a problem with pop-ups and advertisements on the
computer. The clock then started to change time dramatically. As i thought
I had a virus and restoring the system from a previous date would not work, I
performed a system recovery.

The issue with the pop-ups and advertisements has now been resolved but I
was still having trouble with the clock. Then, about two weeks ago, it began
to reset each time the computer was switched on.

Time synchronisation will not work at all and this problem persists despite
now leaving the clock on manual.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks
