I am running XP home and the date and time have suddenly
started to go adrift. Can anyone help?

First take note of whether you are losing time while the computer
is running or while it's powered off. If it's while powered off,
the problem *is* very likely the battery. But if it's while
running, it can *not* be the battery.

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
 
if this is laptop/notebook check battery status
might need new system battery
this is what reads in other posts about clocks acting up.
