    This is weird...

    All I can suggest is replacing the battery and re flash the bios. Maybe it's Windows having a conflict ? or maybe some strange Trojan/worm trying to mess up your AV ?? bad bios chip ?

    Try Atmoic Clock it's like taking aspirin for a headache...it works

    It can't be the battery for the CMOS/BIOS settings as when the PC starts up the date and time are correct. It is only when you finally get into Windows it is changed.

    Also the other settings in the BIOS would have put back to their defaults.

    I have found a fix!!! It's all down to how you word it when searching for an answer on the internet!

    If you do the following to the letter the problem will be fixed!! So happy now!

    1. Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
    2. Navigate to the HKEY_USERS registry key.
    3. From the File menu, select Load Hive.
    4. Navigate to the \%systemdrive%\documents and settings\default user folder, select ntuser.dat, then click Open.
    5. Enter a name for the registry entry (e.g., Default User), then click OK.
    6. Navigate to the HKEY_USERS\Default User\Control Panel\International registry subkey.
    7. Double-click the sShortDate registry entry.
    8. Set the value to the date format required (e.g., dd/MM/yyyy), then click OK.
    9. You can also change the sLongDate registry entry for the longer date format (e.g., dd MMMM yyyy), then click OK.
    10. Select the HKEY_USERS\Default User registry subkey (or whatever you named it) again, then from the File menu select Unload Hive.
    11. Click Yes to the confirmation.
    12. Close the registry editor.
