Hi Larry,
This is a known issue with Win98. For more information on this problem check these articles, and the information below. Note: The system battery doesn't have anything to do with the clock when Windows is running. If the system is restarted and the clock returns to the correct time, replacing the battery will have on effect. Clock on Taskbar and in Date/Time Tool Loses Time http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q189/7/06.asp Restart or Network Connection Changes Computer Date and Time http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q193/9/12.asp A "few" of the other known reasons why the system may lose or display the incorrect time: 1. Some screen savers 2. Some 3rd party tools that attempt to log into an "atomic clock" and then auto-set your system 3. Setting a time within Win98 that conflicts with your LAN time (if on a LAN or networked) 4. Setting a time within Win98 that conflicts with the time setting in your CMOS 5. Overclocking on some systems 6. Incorrect voltage settings on the mother board 7. Some older DOS or Win3.x games/apps 8. Norton SystemWorks and Cybermedia GuardDog 9. Having the wrong GMT adjustment setting, or having tinkered with that GMT offset via the TZEdit program 10.
