    Clock
    « on: July 01, 2009, 05:08:43 AM »
    Thia is not critical but lately the task bar clock keeps loosing an hour. I reset it and after a while it's off an hour again. Why this is happening I don't know and how do I permanently fix it? Thanks. Hal.

    How old is the computer?  Desktop or laptop? (Desktop, I'm betting.)

    Perhaps the CMOS battery, which helps provide an electrical charge to store information set in the computers basic input/output instruction set (BIOS) is running down, and needs to be replaced.

      probably cause of the day light saving time thing.  If you go to time zone when you change it you can unclick that there.

        i agree with aiges
        100% ur CMOS battery has got down
        try to change that

        No, it hasn't, the symptoms are wrong.  That's not what Aegis said, he was asking a question.

          Nabeel, you are wrong.  If the CMOS battery was dead the computer would have no idea what time it is at all.
          A one hour difference is a problem with the time zone setting.

              Change the cmos battery...this will also occur if there are leaking or bulging capacitors on the MB.

                  It keeps track of your cmos settings an what not.  Seems like it may have lost its charge but it should be replaced soon.  Nabeel DInho you should all ways try the thing that would seem to be the cause of it first instead of saing what it probably is.  Aegis was saing that as it may could of been.

                  OK, I agree - the easiest fix is to make sure that daylight savings time is being properly reflected on your time.  I hadn't thought of that, and is the most likely suspect if the time is "off" by one hour.

                  Don't mess with the battery unless the DST is resolved.

                  CMOS battery...Part # CR2032 available most places including Wally World.
                  But i tend to agree it may be a Windows setting.
                  But for $3.95 It won't hurt to replace on a 5 year old machine...
                  Make sure all power sources are disconnected and ground yourself by touching the case...also be careful not to break the spring loaded clip that holds it in place...
                  Best of Luck.

                    What gave you that idea? 

                    That would only solve all the problems if the computer did not track the time at all.  If it is continually out of time by 1 hour then it is more than likely a time zone issue.

                    At the same time, 5 years is a long time for a battery to last and replacing it is a good idea.

                      Not really, I had some that still work an there past that age.  But its probably true for the most part, I know that when the change over changed my clocks were off an hour cause of it.

                      My company has quite a few 15+ year old computers out there, all with their original batteries; most still operating correctly.  I wouldn't change it just for the *censored* of it.  The timezone/DST issue is the cause, I'm sure, and this is being compounded by the system automatically updating the time with an external source periodically (that was XP SP2+, if I recall correctly).
                      Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.

                      I'll also agree the battery may or may not be the issue here...

                      However for $2.50 i would try it nonetheless....

                                I appear to have stepped on toes  -  Some forums welcome replays -others are a tight  clique who do not like new people replying - time will show which this forum is- and that being my first post, well what would you think ?
                                 I do not see where anybody mentioned   "Internet time synchronization"  should this be the cause of the problem (as it was mine ) I thought it helpful
                                express this even though the post was several days old

                                i made the statement about Redmon as a  wise crack  - because whatever server syncs the time keep changing mine and did not seem to believe in daylight savings time

                                  you probably got on my last one, which has no feeling.  I'm not up tight about it, its better to check an see if certain things have been said then post randomly an drag posts out.  In such things that have been solved.  It was the first thing I had mentioned here.

                                  i made the statement about Redmon as a  wise crack

                                  It's often hard to suss the humour of a forum member on a first post...

                                  DST is mitigated by the O/S using the NTP protocol.  Can't blame this one on Redmond...

                                  That was a particularly opaque comment of mine, wasn't it?!

                                  Pat and Brian, you just made me laugh my socks off.

                                          better extra toes them missing toes! you can remove extra toes, but I don't think you can get extra toes from a "toe bank" or something.

                                          Come to think of it, a donated body parts organization would be interesting. Especially for plastic surgery. they could have a little Mr potato head doll, and you could put various parts on, "I want to look like this!"

                                          Of course, in the meantime between you placing the Mr Potato Head Order onto the receptionists table with your Application form and money order, some 7 year old miscreant makes the mistake of thinking it's a waiting room toy. Long story short, you walk out of the hospital walking on one arm, an oversized ear, and carrying your suitcase with your giant moustache and one of your legs, and you have a huge hat attached to your but.

                                              that was you.  Do you want me to post pic's or something then?

                                              and where do you draw that implication?

                                                        Windows 7 RC Tester.  Working on it.  Your monitor says etchasketch on the side!

                                                        If I fall who is there to pick me up now.  I stand alone but I stand as the gaurdian for whom I wish to protect.  The sound of my blade utters my name as you fall.  For I shall not move.  For those that forsake the very people are wosres
