Hi thanks Ken and Milt
just to confirm I did replce bios battery first, but this made no
difference, the time loss occures all the time whilst powerd up .
Ken i followed what you said and this is what came up in my cmd window

Net.exe (netstart and netstop are both wrong; no surprise that they didn't
work) and w32tm.exe are both external commands and they should be in
\windows\system32.

The first thing to do is to look in the \windows\system32 and verify that
they are there. Assuming that they are (and almost certainly they are) you
have a problem with your path, which isn't pointing you there.

Assuming that the files are in place, the list of command I gave you will
run if you first change to the \windows\system32 folder by issuing the
command

cd \windows\system32

Then run the commands in the specified order

Also while you are in the cmd window isssue the command

path

and post back with what the reply is.

My first thought is that your "Bios Battery" is in need of
replacement. Check the literature that came with your computer to
find out the battery number and how to replace it.


No, the symptoms he describes can *not* be his battery.

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 (his situation), 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
