It could be your bios battery on your motherboard.

What do you mean?
Is it always starting at noon on January 1st 1980? That's a battery problem. Maplin do replacement batteries for around £2. The most common kind is CR2032. Be careful when you are installing the battery and use a folded tissue - If you handle it between your fingers, the battery can discharge and it will be useless.
If the time seems to be slow on the Windows task bar clock, then you need to set-up the automatic time adjust in the control panel. You pick a time server and set the refresh time.
You need to be connected to the internet for this to work - so if you switch off your router or broadband modem, it will not always update the time.

Could be the battery on the motherboard that controls the clock and CMOS. Most are CR2032. You can buy these very cheaply on E Bay.
Please see attached link which will explain what to do:

If you have XP and it is connected to the internet it should do this automatically.
Double click on the clock, go to the Internet Time tab, click the Automatically sync with internet time server tab and select a time server (mine uses time.windows.com) and all should work.

You have to set it to automatic before it can do this in the settings.
