Hello, I can't adjust the clock on my computer. Let me explain, when I check the time, my PC displays:
Tuesday, January 1, 2008.
But this date is incorrect and I can't set the clock. When I select:
"Set date and time"
The following error message appears:
Unable to continue
You do not have the necessary rights to perform this operation. Please seek help from your administrator.

I am the administrator. What should I do? Can you please help me? This is blocking my access to certain pages and programs like the Facebook page or the MSN program.

Configuration: Windows Vista Home Premium Edition

    Good evening
    You may be an administrator, but you have to right-click on the command and select 'Run as administrator'. We agree that it's stupid, but that's how it is with Vista and Seven..

    Now, if your time is consistently reset to a default date like that, it's likely that the CMOS battery on your motherboard is dead.
    You just need to replace it; if I remember correctly, it's a flat battery about 2cm in diameter, type CR2032 (to be verified), costing around €5 at any computer or photo shop. It's very visible on your motherboard. Be careful to check how to take it out without forcing anything.

    See you

    I forgot to mention that it was reset after my computer shut down due to a lack of battery.

    Here I am again, on the Packard Bell, the BIOS battery can't be replaced, I could have managed without it, but then the video card failed on me, so now I have no PC, and the problem is solved like that.
