Date & Time keeps reverting to a date before March 21, 2001

[JenBee]

Hello!

Every time I startup my imac, which is running OSX 10.3.9, I immediately get a message saying " Your computer's clock is set for a date before March 24, 2001. This may cause some applications to behave erratically. Please use the Date & Time preference panel to set the clock manually. For more information, choose Mac Help from the Help Menu."

I manually change the Date and Time according to instructions and then when i start up my computer again....I get the same messgae and the date and time has changed.

I am not sure what I need to do to correct this....does anyone have any suggestions????

Thank you so much!!

Jen

You probably need a new clock battery.
