Time on my PC monitor changes with old date. I don't know why?

your cmos battery is probably dead, especially if the pc's old.
there is a large battery which is plugged into the motherboard, and this battery gives enough power to the motherboard when the computer is powered down to maintain tha time/date and information about the hardware in your pc.
when this battery is flat, the date is reset to a really old date and anytime you set the date to the correct time/date it will be lost when the machine is powered down.
you'll need to replace it, but they only cost pennies:

You do understand that the monitor has nothing to do with the time on your PC other than to allow your eyes to view it?
1. Run a daylight savings time patch
2. Make sure you're using right time zone
3. Your CMOS battery may be bad.

did you click OK or APPLY. when you changed the time.
APPLY is the one you want
PC clocks are known for having minds of their own, or at least appearing to
