yeah, your bios battery needs to be replaced.
go into the bios and check the time in that. if its wrong as well, then thats your problem. if your bios clock is fine and its just windows that has the problem, then i think theres a patch or update or something.
run windows update or install ie5 or something stupid or something...

IE 5 is pants, gives me error blah everytime I close a window.
And my taskbar clock goes back an hour every few weeks, for no reason.
It's about a society in freefall....
