| Re: computer loosing time I agree with Sir Skully. That's the most likely cause.

| Re: computer loosing time Its almost definately the battery. Take a look at your motherboard and you should see a little disc shaped battery somewhere. Take it to radio shack (or another alternative, radio shack is the first that comes to mind  )and replace it with one of the same type. Your good to go.

| Re: computer loosing time Ditto. Most motherboards take a CR2032 battery, which you can buy in any Stop & Shop, drug store, or Radio Shack.
