Hi, I have a problem with my computer and was wondering if anybody knew
anything about it.
I have Windows XP, and what's happening is that for some reason my computer
won't let me change the date or time at all, and it has the dates for the
year 2002 on display when I try to change it, and when I do, I get that
message to contact the administrator to make the changes. What's weird is I
never had a user password set up on my computer or anything like that.
I can get online, and play with some settings under my control panel, so I'm
not sure what can be causing this problem.

Anybody have any clues? any help will b greatly appreciated

Thanx

Did your CMOS battery run down?
