Clock running in reverse!

[Guest]

I am using Windows XP Professional.

I have a problem with my clock.

I don't know whether it is with the software or the hardware.

My clock goes in reverse everytime turn on my computer!

For instance, if I turn off my computer at 11:00 AM, the time will go back
to somewhere

around 10:40 AM the next time I turn it on!

Can anyone help me with this problem?

How old is your system? If it is more than 3.5 years then it is time to
change the small coin-cell/battery that is used to backup the bios
settings.

The age of the computer is irrelevant. Batteries can be bad even in
brand-new computers.

Yes, almost certainly his problem is that the battery needs to be replaced.

I was going to suggest reversing the polarity of the outlet. ;-)
