The time keeps messing up

ELAINE_MILLER · 05-13-2008, 11:19 AM

I have a computer with ME (mostly for the kid's use), and the time keeps changing on me. I set it for EST, and somehow, on it's own at some point, it changes to about 1.5 hours ahead of time. I change it at the time zone level, not just in the box. Any ideas?

Possibly time to change the CMOS battery. Most times it is a CR2032 that you can pick up at your local Radio Shack or Walmart.

When you change this battery you will need to enter the BIOS to set the time also.
