Eclipse 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2005 My friend bought a laptop in February of this year. Lately, the time in Windows has been wrong. My friend sets the time manually, and has EVEN has it set ti synchronize the time automatically to Windows.com. The time zone is correct (Eastern Daylight Time, since we are on the East Coast). After the time is set correct, she would reboot, and the time would be wrong, like an hour off, or minutes off. What could be the problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted May 3, 2005 If it has problems at times with slowing down or freezing up on occasion, then that could cause it. My old computer, which was a crappy little Pentium 2 with like 256k of RAM, always had the time being set a few minutes behind because most of today's programs pushed the computer to or beyond the limit it can take, and thus the clock will stop or slow down as a result. Someone else here might know better than me on the subject though, but that's my guess.. As always, get Spybot, AdAware, and/or Microsoft's AntiSpyware programs to make sure you don't have anything on your comp slowing it down.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnonymousBroccoli 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 I've also got an old computer that'll get slowed down by a few minutes when I'm running a few torrents. I use a little utility called Atomic Clock Sync to keep it right. I know WinXP has something that should do it automatically, but you never know how well something MS designed is going to work. :-\ http://www.download.com/Atomic-Clock-Sync/...4-10316305.html I don't have any other ideas about what would cause the problem, though.
