Time and Date reverted to 2004 on my laptop.

My wife tried to pull the laptop (HP Pavilion zv6000, Win XP) out of standby mode earlier, and it did not want to come out and play.

I ended up manually shutting the computer down. When I restarted it, It acted as if the amount of memory installed had been cut in half, very laggy and taking forever to load everything.

After it finally did load, i noticed that the date and time had reverted way back to 2004 and some random time.

My immediate thought was the cmos battery, as I have never replaced it, and have had the ancient time machine since about 2006 or so.

Is that my best bet, or could the problem be more serious??

thanks,

Tyler
