    Date and time problems Win 98
    Hai everybody,

    Every time when I start my computer, the time and date are resetted back to 1999. I find this rather inconvenient so can anybody help me with a solution. I still use win 98 and on the cd there is also no time-date file as far as I know. I hope somebody can help me.
    Bye Boud

    Once that you have filled in the date, the computer should remember it. It is not Windows, it is the motherboard that keeps the clock/calendar.
    If your computer 'forgets' it, then you battery is low. Replace it.

    Definitely the CMOS battery on the motherboard. A new one costs right at about $10.00 if I remember correctly. I haven't replaced one in a while. It should be easily replaceable UNLESS your battery is the kind that is soldered to the motherboard. Then, you may as well replace the PC since it sounds pretty old anyway.
