Also, if your machine is a desktop which is three to four or more years old, check your cmos battery. It may be dying.

thx for reply, i should have stated its my laptop only 7 mths old, and the m/s stuff did not work, when i changed my time setting and finally got the correct time my date was wrong, and could not change the date i.e 9th april, to 8th april and visa versa so both time and date is haywire, i have gotten into setup (cmos) and changed it there and looks like its ok now but am still concerned why this would happen, did the usal virus scans etc but nothing. any ideas?
