win xp correct time

[Guest]

How do I test the time of the clock in the notification area? The reason for checking to make sure it is correct is because I signed up for a program on aol to send me alerts 1 hour before a reality show was to begin. But I always get the alert the next day after the event was aired at a different time than I have specified.Does anyone know why? This question does'nt feel right, I feel like I should easily know and that this question is probably dumg. < SEE!

Double click on the time and select the internet time tab. This will
synchronize your time with atomic time servers.

something like that?

But first make sure you have the right timezone, date, and daylight savings
settings.
