I am using Windows XP Media Center 2002 SP2 in my laptop, and now suddenly I
have this problem. The clock and date that usually appear on the down-right side
of the screen is really a mess. It won't work and just stuck on a day when I
shutdown or hibernate the laptop (For example : if I turn on the laptop on
september 25 and shut it on the same day, when I open it on 27 september, it
will still september 25 shown in the time and date. Nothing changed)
I hope there are anybody who knows how to solve this problem
Well, my friend had a similar problem, and I solved it by messing in the BIOS
and power management. I believe all you have to do is to turn on "Force APM
1.0 mode" in advanced power management settings(in the Device
Manager).
Of course, but updating the BIOS is a risky
thing, and may end up burning your machine.
I recommend google.com and hours of searching for someone who had a similar
problem solved. This method is tiring, but with some luck and effort you can
repair everything.
Maybe check BIOS battery, replace that thing, it might be causing. Force APM is
located inside the BIOS screen (when you boot up, you can access it, maybe
pressing Del or F12 or something, depends on motherboard). Isn't windows
syncronizing its time with a time server, though? That could work as a
workaround.
Could somebody tell me what should I do?

Thank you very much...

It could also be a weak CMOS battery.
I'm pretty confused about how I could modify the 'force APM' because I can't find it in the device manager
Sorry for the trouble...
Btw... is there any possibilites that my BIOS setting messed up?

Thank's for all the advice. I'll try and hopefully I can get it right ^^
Just ask your motherboard manufacturer.
