| 539305 | 2007-04-09 12:43:00 | Double click on the time in the taskbar / time zone tab . Tick the bottom option and make sure its on NZ if you're in NZ . It'll either be here, or the BIOS time is wrong . Check the BIOS and see if its on the right time . From 1 time display to lots of them . . . Any advice for whoever's letting our forum clock get slower & slower again, Speedy? After all, it seems no time since those of us who cared were celebrating the fact that it had finally come right . Looks like a hardware problem to me - probably the rubber band . It seems to be the tricky variable . . Obviously time-keeping software's far too basic to confuse the experts, so maybe the rubber band is stretching too far? . Could be that you're using the wrong size, guys? . Or perhaps a blue one would be better than the current red one? And while we're waiting, maybe someone could give it another little wind-up each day at coffee time . |

| 539306 | 2007-04-09 13:06:00 | I'm amazed the clock watchers can sleep at night knowing such important work is left undone. Where is this fabled PressF1 clock anyway?, can't say I have ever seen it..... |

| 539307 | 2007-04-09 20:42:00 | Change the time server, so the time updates. Double click on the time, in the taskbar, then go to the Internet time tab. Microsoft.com and time.windows.com are pretty hopeless. I changed mine to tk1.ihug.co.nz tk2 and tk3.. That fixed it. Or check you ISP's site, see if they've got time servers somewhere. Most probably have. Cant help with the forum's time. |
