computer clock

Hi Clete,

This problem occurs due to the following reasons:

*If the BIOS settings are corrupt.
*Due to Power Management.
or
* If the CMOS battery in your computer is low in charge.

To fix this issue, you need to reset the BIOS. If the issue exists, you need
to replace the CMOS Battery.

In

the internal clock on my computer - the hour is constantly needing to
be reset is this easily corrected??

Just the hour? The minutes are correct?

You're set for the wrong time zone.

Hello,

We have it in our office that the PC clocks are way
faster in time, if we rest the times by the end of the
week it usually it off by 20 min (too fast).

Just thought I shoot this out.

If it happens while Windows is running it is quite definitely *NOT* the
battery, and if it is always exactly an hour jump it is not at all
likely to be the other causes either. Most likely is being in a domain,
and the domain time server is re-synchronising clocks - to its own idea
of what the Time zone is

This problem seems to happen quite often (especially with Dell
machines). Usually a steady rate of loss like 10 minutes in an hour,
but an error like yours may come from the same cause. It appears to
result from a conflict with the BIOS over the interval between 'timer
interrupts'. Windows maintains the clock by counting these, so if the
interval is not the expected one, the rate is grossly out in this
manner.

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)
and then use the Internet Time synchronisation in Control Panel - Date
and time, manually, several times over a week
