Re: Losing Tine

No, if the battery is in upside down, it will not work at all. I'd guess
the time zone setting is the culprit; after all, the Internet Time
synchronization source does not know your REAL time zone.

One more thought. Boot up and look at the BIOS page with the date and
time - if it is correct, then the CMOS battery is not the problem

| Your Windows time is not going to lose a few hours overnight because of a
| firewall setting. If your computer has not been shutdown or hibernated
then
| the CMOS battery is not a factor. If the computer was turned off and the
AC
| power was removed, then the CMOS battery could be a factor. The battery
| will not work at all if it is installed incorrectly (upside down.)
|
| Your firewall NETBIOS setting shouldn't have any effect on your Internet
| Time synchronization.
|
| I can think of only two circumstances where a newly replaced CMOS battery
| could be a problem;
| #1. defective battery
| #2. the CMOS clear jumper is set wrong (this would also set all the
| BIOS options to default) and your particular motherboard has a design flaw
| which allows the CMOS clear jumper to drain the CMOS battery.
|
| I feel certain you can experiment and diagnose the problem. It certainly
| isn't serious, and I can't think of any more suggestions.
|
| Finally, you should set Outlook Express to post newsgroup messages in
plain
| text.

| Was the time error off exactly one hour or 30 minutes?Was the time error

|
| Right click on the date in your toolbar.

| property ***.
| This will take you to the 'Synchronizing your computer clock' article.
