why cant I change the time on my pc microsoft xp?

Question

When I click on start there is no control panel in list.

Answer 1

right click the time and select adjust
to get your control panel in your start menu list
right click the task bar and select properties
then click the start menu tab, customise
in new window click advanced
the first icon shown is the control panel click "display as a link"
click OK twice
now when you click on start you will see you have the control panel icon showing

Answer 2

Go on your task bar and double click on too your system tray, a window title Date and Time properties will come up.

If that doesn’t fix the problem it could be a CMOS error. CMOS memory holds the date, time, and system setup parameters. In adjacent to the cmos ram is a battery (yours could just be dieing). Most computers today use lithium CMOS battery. Battery voltages can vary, so you'll need to pop out your old one to find out what type it is and replace it with a similar kind.
