What info should be provided? I have reset the time and date many times as
well as changed the sync server.

Well...

At this point there is only guesses at what operating system (specifically)
that you are running. Windows XP Home Edition? Windows XP Professional
Edition? Windows XP Media Center Edition? Windows XP Tablet PC Edition?
Windows XP x64? Other?

At this point - assuming you posted to Windows XP because you are running
some version of that OS - we do not know what patches you have applied to
said OS. At least what service pack level you were at would be a simple and
pertinent (possibly) piece of information.

You have not provided any history on the problem - such as, "This system was
bought brand new two weeks ago..." or ,"This machine was working fine up
until 2 weeks ago..." or such.

Other than saying you checked for viruses and spyware - you gave no clue as
to how. As far as we know you looked at the machine and decided it looked
clean. heh What applications did you utilize to determine this 'clean'
state?

You did not say whether the time is loss whether or not you power of the
machine or if it goes into hibernate or whatever.

We don't know if this is a laptop, a desktop, a virtual machine running on
your Macintosh, etc.

So - at this point - anything given to you has to assume a lot of things.
There may be a BIOS upgrade you need to do dependent on the make/model of
the computer. There may be a driver/patch you need to obtain and install
dependent on the make/model and the version of Windows XP and patch level
you are at. You may just need a new CMOS battery (buy one at Radio Shack,
Wal-Mart, Target, almost anyplace that sells batteries.) Your time zone may
be incorrectly set. Etc and etc...

You are the only one in this newsgroup that can fully explain your current
problem, what you have done, what you see when you do whatever, etc. The
more details you give, the more likely someone here that cannot see what you
see can picture it in their mind, apply their experiences and/or skills to
it and help you figure out how to go about repairing it.

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

This is a desk top computer runnig XP home version 2002 with service pak 2.
I ran mcAffee virus scan and xsoft ad ware/Spyware as well as RegCure. I
have had this Dell 4550 Pentium 4 system for a couple of years and have never
had any problems. This problem started about one week ago. I did have some
worms/trojans that have all been cleaned out I think. This may have something
to do with it. When I set the time and date using the control panel it stays
current for a little while say 1hour. Then it changes to past dates and time
as far back as 2003 one time. I run Winfax and when a fax comes in I usually
have to search for it because of the wrong date registered. It does not
happen with the Emails I can only guess that the ip keeps track of the date.
When I reset the date and time I have used the different sync optios that it
gives. Do not know what else I can do. I am not sure what bios I am running.
Hopefully this helps shed some more light.

Thanks for the help.

Unexplained computer behavior may be caused by deceptive software

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

analysis, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

Try This

net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister [ignore error message]
w32tm /unregister [enter a second time]
w32tm /register
reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\w32time\parameters\ /v
NtpServer /t reg_sz /d time.nist.gov /f
net start w32time
w32tm /resync

If Didn't Help .. you may need to change the CMOS Battery

Indications are that the battery is bad.
