When I power off/on daily, I lose date and time setting. It reverts to November 2004. I try to reset via internet and get two messages: An error occurred while synchronizing...etc and then Windows has never attempted to synchronize with an internet time server. Could it be a battery? (neighbor answer??) I'm not too savvy, so I need a color the dots solution Thanks1 person needs an answerI do too

Yes, it is most probably your CMOS (motherboard) battery. This is an easy, cheap (around $5) fix.
