Time updating but not calendar date

[prazim]

The date & time are set to automatically update, and the time zone and

location are correct. Yesterday, the date was updated as it was reporting

November of last year. Today, the time has updated correctly but the date is

saying the Sunday the 14th (here it's the end of the 15th.)



What may be causing this, and what is the fix?

Thanks,

Sue

Did you turn off your computer on Sunday? It sounds like your

motherboard battery is going bad. At first, time will cease to

advance when turned off and later, as the battery weakens, you will

go quite a bit back in time. When Window automatically time-updates,

it will not make a big correction all at once. Instead it will speed

up the clock so that after an hour or two you should be back on time.

You don't say what server you automatically update to.



My guess: Replace your motherboard battery.



HTH,

John

Thank you, John. I was thinking it could be the CMOS battery also, but was

hoping it wasn't.

Why not? It only costs a buck or two.
