Clock loses time

I just notice that the clock at the bottom right hand
corner of the screen no longer keep saccurate atime and
date. I ahve reset the time and adte several time today
and each time it loses time. Is there an internal battery
that I need to change? Can this problem de fixed?

I use windows 98

The mobo battery keeps time when the PC is turned off; therefore, something
running in the background is causing the time loss.

Sure it can be fixed easily just open your computer up
its very easy and look on the motherboard its a big flat
circut board on the botom of a compaq computer or on
the side of a stand up computer make sure you computer is
turned of and unpluged before you do these then locate the
battery take it out with yout fingers or a pen then take
it to a computer shop and get another one

Buy the battery at Radio Shack. Computer stores will charge double for same
battery.
