Time and date
If you are saying it reverts to the default time, like Jan. 1, 1970 or
whatever, you probably have a dead battery on your motherboard. They are usually silver, the size of a quarter, and slide out with a clip. You can get one in any computer parts place. -- Was this post helpful to you? Then click the "Yes" button, below. Voting helps others who use the web interface. Mark L.

Beware of any advice you may get to change the battery, which may or may not be correct. If the date and time stay correct while the machine is running, the problem can not be the battery, because the battery isn't used while the computer is running. But if the clock lose time every time you power on, almost certainly the problem is the motherboard battery. It's a small flat disc, roughly the size of a US quarter. A new one costs only a few dollars and they are easy to change--consult your manual for instructions. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup
