What is your Time error?
Ahead
Behind
Random
Please describe. Thanks.
 
Hi,
It is always one hour behind.I live in New Jersey and it is set to
Central Time(US and Canada).
It is all the time happening to it.Always 1 hr behind no matter what I
do.I even unchecked the auto. syn. with internet server.
Thanks in advance.
 
One hour behind sounds like your computer is not observing Daylight Saving.
When you right-click on the Time, and choose the Time Zone tab, have you
checked the little box for:
"Automatically adjust time for daylight saving changes"
Apply and OK.
 
Hi,
It is checked there also. Thanks for your help.
Any other suggestions-I need to fix this.
Thanks in advance.
 
Sorry for being a bit simplistic.
Now, I will be even more simplistic:
In the Time Zone tab, where it says Central Time, click the little triangle
to expand the list. Select Eastern Time (GMT -05:00), I believe it is the
10th one down the list.
Apply and OK.
 
Hi,
I changed it and guess what? It worked!
I thought that a new Dell computer would have been set-up for use.
Thanks for all those who helped.

You are set for the wrong time zone. New Jersey is Eastern time,
not Central.
