Everytime I turn it on, it goes back to Oct 2004 and is always at 1am. What is wrong with it and how can I fix it. I really can't afford to put much money in it, I is very old and probly not worth a whole lot, But I enjoy using it.

Is this button cell battery something that can be changed at home, or does it have to be done by a professional?

The battery died. Yes, it is something that can be done without a tech. It be be a good idea if you got hold of a computer club or programming club or try this if there is a local high school that teaches eletronics, you might want to try them to replace it for you.

i'm not sure if this is true, but perhaps there is a virus or spyware that's doing that. otherwise, make sure you have all of the newest updates from microsoft.
