Windows XP clock incorrect

GX270 system - system time in startup correct - but time in Windows XP is always 1989 (1 day and 1 hour before the correct day and time).

I'm sure this is a Windows issue since the hardware time is correct, but haven't been able to track the problem down.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Window XP has a known problem with losing time. Check out this Dell Knowledge Base article which may help:

    The problem is not with the clock losing time - it is with the clock always reading 1989 upon rebooting - re-registering w32time did not help.

    It is not a BIOS battery problem (the system clock is correct) - the issue is with Windows reading the system time apparently.
