Clock does not keep correct time

[jamie]

I changed the BIOS clock to the correct time and then
started Windows XP, but after awhile the clock in XP goes
back to about 10 minutes slow. How do I fix it?

The only thing you can do is download a time sync program.

hello

First check that windows isnt adjusting your time
as I have had this happen.

If you double click on the clock in the bottom right
corner then go to the internet time tab make sure that
box isnt ticked or else you will get the problem where it
changes after you reset it

hope that help's

Try this:



Open a command prompt window (Start | Run | cmd) and enter the
following commands:



net stop w32time

w32tm /unregister

w32tm /register

net start w32time

Hi Jamie,

1. Start->Run cmd.exe
2. net stop w32time
3. w32tm /unregister [ignore error message]
4. w32tm /unregister
5. w32tm /register
6. net start w32time

If this is a jump - are you connected into a 'domain' based net, in
which the net will synchronise all machines with its own ideas? (if so
complain to the net admin if the clock is wrong). If a stand-alone
machine giving a wrong rate, it may be because Windows maintains the
clock by counting the timer interrupts, based on the machine's system
bus oscillator, so if the interval is not the expected one, the rate can
go badly out
Try these steps:

1. Start->Run cmd.exe
2. net stop w32time
3. w32tm.exe /unregister
4. w32tm.exe /register
5. net start w32time

(note spellings w32tm and w32time in different commands)
