93385 2002-10-27 03:26:00 Hey there everyone, I'm much in need of help :)

My computer is screwing around with my system time, and I don't know how to get it all back to normal. I have SuSE Linux 8.0, XP and my BIOS all giving me incorrect times, and I'm sure it's due to them all thinking they're individually right, and hence changing the BIOS time to what they think it should be.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Cheers,
Jonathan Giles

93387 2002-10-27 03:48:00 no, I haven't, but I will test that now -- I'll restart my computer into Windows and see if the time changes - it would only change if it was shutdown, wouldn't it?

Thanks a lot,
Jonathan

After my computer was off last night, turning it on this morning I get a crazy time - I'm gonna go in tmw and get my relatively new Mobo a new battery.

I hope that fixes it.

Cheers,
