My PC clock showing wrong time
 

Despite the fact it automatically regularly updates.I clicked on update and it stayed at 1500 hours.Anyone else able to update normally?I've had to do it manually. :confused:

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

Just done it OK.. Did you get an error?

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

Works fine for me.


Maybe try changing the time server? XP gives two options: time.windows.com & time.nist.gov

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

Yes.Discovered it was set to Pacific time but I'm still getting an error message when I set it to Greenwich Mean time.I'll just have wait until tomorrow,bed is beckoning. :sleep:

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

One thing I have found. If the date is wrong, then Windows will not reset the time automatically. Seems silly, I know.

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

Am i missing somethng? my time and date are spot on

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

Check your Motherboard battery doesn`t need changing, should be changed every three years tops!:)

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

I use a little NTP client called Automachron and sync with time.cableol.net

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

Had a new motherboard installed in January so I doubt it.

The date is correct, the time zone is now correct but the time still is not right .This time I got the error message that the date was wrong.Well it isn't it's the time that's wrong. :mad:This happened with both available update sites..

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

My old one use to run slow and this one runs fast I just put the time right every now and again

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

This isn't running slow it's completely out of wack by several hours.When I began at 3 this afternoon it was 00.07. :D

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

Long shot but on my pc I had disabled Windows Time, and this caused a cascade of problems.

check on it by this

start menu, run , "services.msc" search down at bottom for windows time and make sure its enabled.

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

Had a look and it's enabled.

I also restarted the PC and it seems to be at the correct time.

Will let you know if it happens again.. :D

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

Coggy, do you have a router by any chance ??? or a firewall ???

Re: My PC clock showing wrong time
 

I don't have a router but I do have ZAP.What would ZAP have to do with altering the time..

I think it maybe that my son hath been fiddling again and altered the time zone.The only problem I had after I sorted that part was that the update sites were sending back the wrong error message.It is now reading the correct time and the update message is now correct. :shrug:

Hmm!One of those weird Windows oddities I guess.I will keep a close eye on it.

The only other time I've lost time in this way is when using Byrce5 which seems to prevent any program on the taskbar from working.However the update still worked afterwards.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. :tu:
