I'm having trouble setting the date in Windows XP.
Specifications:
Microsoft windows xp professional 2002
Service Pack 2
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.90 GHz
RAM 512 MB
Every time I try change my date to the current date, and after pressing the Apply or OK, it automatically returns to date 08/08/2008.
In addition, when I change the date to before the month of August 2008 it successfully changes, even after reboot and the separation of electricity, changing the date to after 1/8/2008, it changes back automatically to 08/08/2008.
I confirmed the prerogative of the user, and the validity of BIOS battery. This problem has not appeared in the same copy of Windows on other devices.
What is the cause of the problem and how do I solve it?

Has your BIOS battery dried out? Did you protect your BIOS with a password. What motherboard model is inside your computer? – Doktoro Reichard – 2013-08-30T19:18:01.980
I do not think the BIOS battery problem ... Because when I changed the date to before 2008 and cut off electricity to the device, has been saved successfully Date when it runs again !! – Yaman ALTareh – 2013-08-30T19:25:43.387
@DoktoroReichard motherboard model: P4VM800 and non password for bios .. – Yaman ALTareh – 2013-08-30T19:33:31.400
1"Cutting off electricity" doesn't confirm a bad BIOS battery. – Moses – 2013-08-30T19:34:56.737

As @moses said, you need to replace your Battery with a new one to check whether it died or not. Checking the manual at the ASRock page the motherboard is at least from April 2005 (slightly older than mine :P). Since this is 2013, maybe the battery died at a time where your clock was set to 08/08/2008. It probably is the cause of the problem.
