Clock Problems

Question

I've had my computer for a month now and it has never kept time. It runs a little over an hour slow. I synchronize it and from there it loses time. When I shut the computer down at night and turn it on the next day, the clock has lost at least an hour of time.

Hi

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.

You have some settings in your registry out of wack. To reset them to default values do the following:

From a windows XP MS-Dos prompt type:

net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister (repeat if you get an access denied message)
w32tm /register
net start w32time
