If the year is wrong, and the rest of the date/time is ok, you might try
my date adjust program. See  htttp://members.tripod.com/trondb/date2.zip
It comes with source (and precompiled 16bit dos executable). It even works
in Linux. 
I have an '95 Award bios. The only problem with this one is that it changes the 
year byte to 94 when booting. My program set realtime clock (via bios interrupt) + msdos time in dos  and  just calls stime() for non-msdos. 
I use it to correct the year from 2094 in Dos and from 1994 in Linux.

By the way you should avoid touching the realtime clock directly.
Yes, I can send you a 'cmos ram' program which almost killed a '286 some years ago...  (Hint:  outportb(0x70,index); val=inportb(0x71);  ) 

Good luck!
