Slow Computer Clock

[EAT]

The clock on my computer (which appears in the Date and
Time Properties window on XP) runs slow. Every week I
need to correct it. What causes this and how can I fix
it?

Try this

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


This is a very common issue that Dell computers have (though other makes may
have the same problem too).

DELL imaged the OS from one machine and installed in on a batch of machines
notably with different CPU speeds. Information about the imaged machine's
processor clock is stored in the registry. The defect is that windows
should detect that the processor is different and should refresh the
registry entry. The steps above force that to happen.
