Re: Windows Time & Date are resetting on Boot

Hi,
I have windows XP Home edition. Recently I found that my pc date & time are resetting to the system clock (Jan 01, 2001) on every boot, though I set the time after login. This is annoying very much as my softwares are not functioning (as they expire as of the changed time), and the SSL certificates show they are expired or invalid (rightly so as the system time is invalid). I do not know whether it is something to do with virus or to do with my hardware. Any help on this is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Hari
