| 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 Regards PC |
