Possibly the battery is flat. A small watch type battery that has sole charge of keeping the clock up to date.

Is your dell and old one.
Do you frequently leav it completely unplugged from the wall..if so dont as batteries get charged off of mains power. If your dell is old the battery could just be u/s.

Pc not on the web? hmm... maybe a web connection is a good idea for updates, virus protection and like fixes.



The computer still owrks without a clock anyway..

It's possible the battery had been on the shelf quite a while. I've replaced mb batteries only to have them dead after a couple of weeks. Replace the battery again and if the problem is solved, the first replacement had a lot of age on it when you bought it.
