    hi Guys

    My xp machine keeps change its date on reboot. Goes back 1 year everytime!

    CMOS battery good, bios date right, but date in windows xp keeps changing.

    Any advise.

    Thanks

    What about the computer date? The one that appears in your BIOS? does it change as well? If it does not then it must be something wrong with XP. Back up all your important data and try to do a reformat.

    Thanks for the reply.

    The bios dates are perfect and this is a newly formatted machine.

    or change the battery of your motherboard if it's too old.

    Check your CMOS battery & Scan for viruses .This type of Malfunctioning can be caused by some trojan as well so scan for viruses and trojans.
