How set time and date in bios setup and store it?

How set the time and date in bios setup? I have to keep changing the time and date then I save it. Okay for the rest of the day (after re-setting) but the next day I have to re-input the date and time again to load up windows in the bios wont let me save. Please help me thankyou.

    Is it an older computer?

    It sounds as though your battery is flat.

    i second the cmos battery

    if you do look into buying one then try pound land, theyre usually cr2032 if im right, or ebay, you shouldn't pay more than £250 for the battery itself.
    Back by no demand whatsoever.

    If your (revised) figure is correct, surely the shop should be renamed "Two Pounds Fifty Land"??! :rotfl:
