36323 2002-02-20 07:13:00 Ok...thats for a slow clock..lol....what about a fast one...ever since I got my computer nearly 2 years ago the clock has gained time...every now and then I correct it but it would seem from memory to gain about 4 or 5 mins every 6 weeks or so... Guest (0)
36324 2002-02-20 11:27:00 Hi Phil, If the clock is correct when you load windows but loses time while it is loaded then it is not a failing CMOS battery, windows only looks at the RTC at load time and then takes care of the time it's self. It indicates a very busy system that cannot find time to update the clock. This site explains it www.itc.virginia.edu/dci/dci-general/timeloss.html

So does that mean that Pam doesn't keep her system busy enough and it amuses itself by adding extra time to the clock?! LOL

Sorry, couldn't help it.
