Its not the battery.

If it's losing time while powered off, the problem *is* very
likely the battery. But if it's while running, it can *not* be
the battery, because the battery isn't used while the computer is
running.



If the clock loses time while running, try this:



Open a command prompt window (Start | Run | cmd) and enter the
following commands:



net stop w32time

w32tm /unregister

w32tm /register

net start w32time

Note that most computers don't use the battery even when they're off,
ATX provides a standby power source which (among other things) will
typically be used to power the clock when the system isn't running.

However, if you power your system off using a power bar, stop doing that
and instead use the internal ATX power function and it may help.
