Keep losing year, time and date

Win HE, 2002, Svs pk 2. When I boot up, a message comes up saying yr, time
and date is not current (showes Jan 1990, 12:04), go to control panel and
reset. When I reset the year, time, date, it will hold until I close down.
When I boot up the next time, it does the same thing again -- does not hold
current information. The "internet time synchronize is turned off".

Please help me correct this problem.

Here are a couple of DIY guides. Take the advice about static
electricity seriously.

If you're not interested in going the DIY route, you should be
able to find someone locally to replace the battery for a
reasonable price.

Good luck

Energizer! Just kidding, I do not think that they make computer CMOS
batteries.

Glad you got it worked out.

The last 2032 batteries I bought were ENERGIZER brand from
Wal-Mart. They are the most common used, about the size of
a quarter coin. They are used in garage door openers,
calculator and computer mobo.
