You might try a program called RighTime, available for a 90 day trial at
http://www.RighTime.com. RighTime is a small, sophisticated memory-resident
program that automatically corrects both the DOS system clock and the
hardware "CMOS" real time clock (RTC) in real time. RighTime learns what
corrections are required
without operator interaction beyond the occasional accurate time set.
Without other indications, I don't believe the problem is the battery, but
batteries are readily available at most any computer store. Hope this helps.
