The time keeps falling back to several hours. I already replaced the lithium battery but that didn't help. It's a 400mhz pc with Windows98. Any ideas?

I would check the settings in the OS. Make sure you have the right Timezone set. Just a thought...
Good Luck

When you run programs or apps. like scheduler it will slow or stop the system clock. You can use freeware or shareware programs that update the system clock at times you pick.

Are you on a LAN or is this a standalone system? Servers will sync up the system clocks of the systems that log on. So if the time on the server is incorrect, the time on your system will be reset each time that you log on. Hope this helps.

This can also be related to the system going into hybernate mode. If you are unable to wake your computer at times and have to do a hard restart, this is likely the cause. This is a major problem with laptops.
