| 805066 | 2009-08-29 03:43:00 | The clock displayed in the notification area advances about 15 minutes in 12 hours. Is there anything I can do to keep the clock accurate without manually synchronizing the time. Processor x86 Family 16 Model 2 Stepping 3 AuthenticAMD ~2705 Mhz BIOS Version/Date Award Software International, Inc. F1, 12/15/2008 OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600 can anyone help with this? Thanks Elise |

| 805069 | 2009-09-08 03:37:00 | It gradually advances. I synced the clock 36 hours ago and the clock reads 850 PM and the current time is 740PM. | elisemcc (10495) | ||
| 805070 | 2009-09-08 04:02:00 | If your computer has always done this, then maybe the real time clock function is faulty. It used to be a separate chip, sometimes plugged into a socket, but these days I believe it is integrated into another chip. So you may have to live with that. You could try shortening down the time interval between automatic synchronisations to say around 6 hours. It tells you how to change a registry setting here: www.helpwithwindows.com Or you could download some free software to do the job, like this one www.worldtimeserver.com this may only work with NIST, whereas in NZ it is probably better to use the local time server msltime.irl.cri.nz There may be other free softwares to do the job, it would be worth Googling to find one. |
