    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.

      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).

      I'll agree with you that CMOS batteries can last that long...
      I'll also agree the battery may or may not be the issue here...

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

          I had this problem- In my case unchecking internet time synchronization solved it - Right click time - left click adjust time - last tab is "internet time "-click- then uncheck automatically sync. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

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

              Allow me to translate for the former solicitor:

              Daylight Savings Time is rendered meaningless by the operating system using the Network Time Protocol.  As much as many of us want, we can't blame this on Redmond, WA, USA!   ;D

              (I searched NTP on the Internet.)   ;)

                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 all have a good evening
