Why does my time keep changing to wrong time?

Hi rhinno

Here's what I did 8 months ago went to www.worldtimeserver.com and downloaded AtomicClock Sync.v.2.2 and keeped perfect time ever since, it's free and I found it to be a good little program,with no vices and from personal experience know it works on W98se, Wme and XP.

or

Another answer is >>dbl click on the time in the bottom taskbar >> Date and time properties >> clk on Internet Time >> Uncheck the box next to "Automatically Sychronize With Time Server "

or

Use both of the above.

and also go to

Rhinno:

You have one the most common problems that is posted on this forum if you read down this page or past pages...

Turn off the internet time synchronization in XP... See instructions here and read more info:
<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>

If you use Norton make sure you have all of the updates.

Try this:
Type the following commands from a MS-DOS prompt.
net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister (may need to repeat if you get access denied)
w32tm /register
net start w32time

If none of the above work you may wish to try this. But this one scares me! You may wish to skip this one.

Hope you have better luck than I did.
My clock GAINS time, I tried all the suggestions that I have seen posted on this forum. None helped!

So I downloaded and installed FREE Rocket Clock. Rocket Clock has more options than Atomic Clock, I have tried them both.

I setup Rocket Clock to reset my Windows clock every 8 hours... Now my stupid Windows clock is a very smart clock!

I also installed this neat free "Clock Enhancer", TClockEx, allows you to setup the plain Windows clock in the fashion you like, type/style of display, date, colors, etc.

BTW... TClockEx works great with W-XP.
