The time and dateeetings keep reverting to 2007, and incorrect time.
I reset it, and it stays that way until I shutdown. On reboot the time and 
date revert to the incorrect values.
Any suggestions as to why this happens? Is there a way to keep the clock 
and/or date correct?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. 

Your computer's CMOS battery has run out of power and needs to be replaced. 
It means taking the computer apart, locating the battery (usually a CR2032 
lithium battery) and replace..

If all your BIOS settings revert to defaults, the motherboard battery 
(usually a CR2032) has run down and needs to be replaced.

If only the time reverts, the clock chip on the motherboard has failed 
and you need a new motherboard unless you are prepared to reset the time 
each time you boot.

Replace battery used as backup for BIOS chip, specifically CMOS part of 
BIOS.
If you don't know what it means, give the computer to someone, it takes 
minutes (or an hour if you don't know location right off your head), battery 
costs a few dollars or less.

P.S. Battery death happens very rarely b/c modern computers get replaced 
faster than battery ends its life, you must've been kept this computer for a 
long time or poor chip design  or low-quality battery.  In many desktops it 
is even recharged when plugged intio ACpower, so rarely dies, yours is dead 
I guarantee it.
Replace it.

DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY - IT'S TOXIC, accumulate them & drop off at 
designated recycling locations.

You know how to tell someone about their computer battery, yet you have no 
clue how to correctly set your clock.  I suggest calling tech support and 
they can walk you through the process.  I know setting your clock is a big 
challenge for you, but with help, even you can do it.

William,

Life is short.
Stop worrying about someone's CLOCK, if that someone is telling you his 
clock is correct and he has an Master's degree & has done PhD work, an dso 
on, and on, why do you keep reminding that SMART person how to setupo clock 
when it is clearly an ISP issue?
Internet provider is not transmitting Time correctly, MAYBE.
Or you imagining something.

His clock is correct.
Give it a rest.

Are you people taking proper account of relativistic effects?

Stan:

You CLAIM to have a Master's degree and done PhD work and you can't figure 
out how to fix your clock?  No wonder you are out of work.  You have now 
clue how to spell or even use spell check.  Maybe you are incompetent and 
have a mental illness.

In that case, donate your computer to charity and go outside.

usually this is because of a faulty battery that stores your cmos. try 
having a new battery instaloled on the motherboard. the battery's voltage 
must be correct for your motherboard, it can be done by the user, but a 
computer store could easily change it. 

The standard answer would be that the CMOS battery has failed.  But there 
are other possibilities.

So, how old is the machine?  And did it ever work correctly?

Thanks for the info. However, I discovered that it was one program, 
aivreminder,  that caused the clock to revert to 2007. Since uninstalling 
it, the clock has been fine.
