my computer does not allow me to the systerm year

hi, all,
Please give me a little help with any idea what might be wrong with my
computer.
I just got this DELL computer 2 months ago with windows XP installed.
I found out yesterday it does not allow me to change the year of the
computer time beyond 2005. Once I changed to 2008 and click apply,
then it will change back to 2005 again. But I can change the month,
day and time, and I can also change the year in Safe Mode. Only when I
use normal start, it does not allow me change the year again.
Thanks a lot.

you need to replace your CMOS mother board battery, or check the connection
to the battery.

Did you try changing the date in BIOS? If yes, then your PC is
either broke or woefully out-of-date, I'd call Dell for a refund.
If no, please try to set it in the BIOS and see if it'll stick. In
any case, good luck, I'm sure by now you're plenty frustrated.
