The date and time is automatically switching to the 2004. Not sure why? does
anyone know how to correct this?
 
Make sure you have the timezone set correct. Also make sure you have the
patch MS put out for the early daylight savings time.
That is assuming you have not dl'ed it during reg. updates.

Usually that's caused by the CMOS battery failing. Does this only
happen when you shut down, then restart?
 
I just downloaded the fix. I hope this works.

Anything else that might cause this to happen?
 
no.. its happening while the system is running

Go into the BIOS and see what time is shown there. If it shows 2004 (as
I suspect it will), replace your motherboard battery.

You can compare the system time with the Windows clock.

To determine if the time loss is a result of a weak computer battery:
1. Click Start | Click Run | Type: cmd | Click OK.
2. At the command prompt, type: time /t and then press ENTER.
3. Compare this time with the time that is reported by the clock on the
taskbar.
4. Type exit and then press ENTER or click on the Close [X].

If the computer's time and the time on the clock are different, the
computer's battery may be too weak to keep accurate time, and it should be
replaced. For information about how to replace the battery, refer to the
documentation included with your computer.

Windows Clock on Taskbar and in Date/Time Tool Loses Time
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189706

The time /t command displays the current system time, without prompting
you to enter a new time.

When using time without parameters, press ENTER to keep the same time.
