My dad was getting frustrated with the clock on our computer so he sent me hear to ask around on here. I'm not particularly bothered about it but he is
The clock on our computer doesn't keep the correct time no matter how often we reset and press apply. Syncronization is also ok. The clock on the networked computer using the smae XP system is fine. Any ideas, my dad would be very grateful? He gets pissed off easy!

Hmm... I need a bit more info. What is the operating system for instance? Age of the computer? Stuff like that...

There are programs to sync the clock with a timeserver over the internet if that is an option...

what OS are you using, do you shut down your system everynight or just log off of it

Dark_Insanity · 11-06-02

OS= XP pro
The computer is switched off every night and I don't know how old it is. Fairly new though

If it were a defunct CMOS battery Crypt, they'd have BIOS errors all the time, so I'm ruling that one out... My guess is, if it's not OS dependant, the system clock circuit has been damaged or has malfunctioned. It's not a critical error tho

Thanks Aet and Crypt, I'll tell my Dad to get over it!

Crypt · 11-07-02

not entirely true Aet, i had a dying battery that kept the settings, but wouldn't keep the time if it's life depended on it.

That can be Crypt. A battery not supplying a sufficient voltage to the clock and memory may retain the CMOS memory but send the clock erratical...
