System Clock Loses Time
Hello,
I have a user using Win98 SE and the time clock keeps losing time. It's the classic "losing several minutes during the day when the machine is kept on all day but rebooting resets to the correct time." It isn't the CMOS time - that is fine, it is the "software" time. I have tried all of the below (or else it didn't apply) to no avail. Anybody else have any ideas? Thanks! Rebecca ***************** Clock on Taskbar and in Date/Time Tool Loses Time http://support.microsoft.com/support...cles/q189/7/06. asp Restart or Network Connection Changes Computer Date and Time http://support.microsoft.com/support...cles/q193/9/12. asp A "few" of the other known reasons why the system may lose or display the incorrect time: 1. Some screen savers 2. Some 3rd party tools that attempt to log into an "atomic clock" and then auto-set your system 3. Setting a time within Win98 that conflicts with your LAN time (if on a LAN or networked) 4. Setting a time within Win98 that conflicts with the time setting in your CMOS 5. Overclocking on some systems 6. Incorrect voltage settings on the mother board 7. Some older DOS or Win3.x games/apps 8. Norton SystemWorks and Cybermedia GuardDog 9. Having the wrong GMT adjustment setting, or having tinkered with that GMT offset via the TZEdit program 10. NAV 2000 has been identified as one that gives 1 hour jumps Norton AntiVirus 2000 KB |
