Scan for viruses, trojans and spyware. Your CMOS battery may require replacement.

If this only affects the Windows clock; double click on the clock, press the 'time' tab and see if it is properly configured when it is attempting to synchronize.

Get a freeware time adjuster which reads from one of the many internet sites devoted to suppliying nuclear time.

I think what you meant to say was 'atomic' not 'nuclear'. Ofcourse,  Canadians have always been a bit strange.. Are all your clocks irradiated?

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

    As Raptor well knows, I've had 2 late nights in a row taking classes as well as managing a home and full time career so I had a mental melt-down.  Now, don't make me post those 'pictures' Raptor.  If it weren't quitting time and if I weren't too tired I'd have to punch you in the colon! >:(

    You know, there are actually websites who pay you to post 'm.

    :-X

    As for SJRick, did you solve your problem? I don't think looking at Joleen's nudies will solve anything.

    Well for now it seems to work ok,, but time will tell ,, it always seems to happen when i dont want it to,, so I will let you guys know,,


    by the way,, since i have you all riveted to this post,, let me ask another hardware question,,

    I just bought a KVM switch and was wondering if anyone knows of anything that i can use to share a set of speakers as well,, i dont think using a simple splitter from Radio Shack will do the trick due to the interference,, was just curious if anyone has any ideas.

    You may wish to replace the CMOS battery before it decides to fail. How old is your mainboard?

    The most common cause of a PC clock losing time is due to the battery needing to be replaced.

    Batteries have a shelf-life. So if they use a four year old battery in the manufacture you can expect to get one years use from it.

    A new one is not expensive.
