Larry S., It's your battery. If you pop the old one out and the new one in quickly your bios settings shouldn't be lost if you're slow or wait until the battery dies your bios will reset to the defaults.

Double-click on the taskbar clock to bring up the Date and Time Properties panel. Make sure your Time Zone is set correctly. Then click on the Internet Time tab and be sure the "Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server" checkbox is checked. The server I use is time.nist.gov

Re: My clock on windows XP seems to lose time Larry, I have a new Dell Dimension 4300 with XP and have been experiencing the exact same problem. I synchronize the clock but after a day or two it's off again by about 10 minutes or more. I do not believe the battery is bad, but have not checked yet. But I am glad to hear that you are experiencing the same problem, since that puts the probability of a bad battery much lower in probability IMO. Brian
