XT2 W7 keeps loosing time

Hi,

Just upgraded a Dell XT2 to Windows 7 Professional.  Everything is working fine the only problem we are having is that it keeps changing the time.  It goes out of sync from the actual time by about 5+ hours & is generally random at what time of the day it does this.  The tablet is docked at work & taken home to be used on a wireless network.  The time loss happens when its docked/undocked on the LAN at work and used at home on a wireless network.  I have checked the BIOS time & everything is correct & its holding this.  We never had this problem when the laptop ran XP & Vista its just started to happen after the W7 upgrade.

    Hi, thanks for the quick reply.  The symptoms dont sound exactly like what I am experiencing but I will look at the BIOS to see if them settings are there.

    Cheers, Mat
