It's time to replace the battery on your PC's motherboard.


Before anyone whose clock is running slow rushes out to buy a new
battery, he should first take note of whether he is losing time while
the computer is running or while it's powered off. If it's while
powered off, the problem *is* very likely the battery. But if it's
while running, it can *not* be the battery, because the battery isn't
used while the computer is running.

If the clock loses time while running, try this:

Open a command prompt window (Start | Run | cmd) and enter the
following commands:

net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net start w32time

Greetings,
Since I can't seem to figure out why my clock is losing a couple of hours
per day, is there a way I use the "scheduled tasks" to update my clock
every couple of hours?
Thanks,
Jim
