Vista - calendar/clock issue

05-27-2008

Whenever my laptop restarts, the windows clock reverts to Feb. 2006.
The clock resets to 12:00am, no matter what time of day it is.

My first thought was the mobo battery. But since this is a laptop, I'm
not real keen on doing that unless other possible causes have been excluded.

Thanks for any help.

That would be my first guess as well. Check the owners manual, usually the
battery is put somewhere that can be accessed without tearing the laptop
apart.

what if its a desktop, because my pc is having the same issue
i thought it was a virus but when i updated to vista it would have the right time for a while but sometimes if i shut down and start up it would go back to that time that was stated above

also to i notice that it will reset the time and date even when im on the pc
