Windows clock always behind?
 

I know that the title probably screams 'low mobo battery', but I do not believe that to be the problem. The clock is consistent, but is a few minutes behind all of the time. I try resetting it, and within a few hours I notice it is back to being late.

It will not continue losing time, it just gets a few minutes off and then stops. I can leave it for a week, and it still will not lose anymore time.

I am on a networked (at work) windows 2k machine. I guess I can easily live with this problem, but it has me very curious. Any ideas?

I forget exactly how it works but it can be set up that all the computers on a network will all sync their time to a certain server.

Maybe thats it?

are you running Norton Anti-Virus? i hear that some bug in NAV screws up the windows clock. supposedly they have a fix for it, but i'm not exactly sure where it is....

just a thought...

honestly..replace the battery...this happens all the time.

I know your pain.... unfortunatly, I dipped to using a time sync.... I guess it works, but I'd rather just have a correct clock....

If you find something out, let me know...

You VERY likely have Network time sync on. If not change your mobo battery, if it continues after that come back to us...

I just use a time sync. Free: http://www.analogx.com

Atomic clock is a great program, easy to use, free, and a small download

At my job, whenever you log onto a computer, the logon script syncs the time with one of the servers, but it only does that when you logoff/logon to the computer and not if you lock the computer screen. Other than that, I'll agree that you prob have a network time sync on.
