Daylight saving time change
My PC did not change the time as it is supposed to. What could be wrong, any
suggestion? Thanks! |

Do you have the correct time zone configured for your location and checked
the box "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" checked? No problems experienced here running Win Me where it switched from BST to GMT this morning. -- Mike Maltby Chris wrote: My PC did not change the time as it is supposed to. What could be wrong, any suggestion? Thanks! |

Yes it is Mike. I think my problem with the AV and outlook express that I
posted earlier might be related to this also. The post is "Appearance of weired dates in outlook express" It is very strange. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the reply! How very odd. You could try changing to another time zone and then changing back to see if this clears the problem. You might also want to try accessing the motherboard bios and resetting the time there, -- Mike Maltby |

Mike after all this time I should know but how do I access to the motherboad?
I have this utility called web time that I used to set the time correctly but I am affraid that is a temporary relief. "Mike M" wrote: Chris wrote: Yes it is Mike.

Sorry Chris, I realise I wasn't very clear in my earlier post. What I was
suggesting was that you enter the motherboard bios and play around with the time there before resetting it correctly and exiting. Do this as the system first boots. The actual key stroke(s) needed to access the bios vary from manufacturer to manufacturer with a good place to start being Del (the delete key). Often you should see the key required displayed in white text on black before the system POST (Power On Self Test) where you will probably see some of your hardware listed (still white on black) after which the system then starts to load Win Me and the splash screen displays (if enabled). The specific key sequence used to access the bios is dependent upon the BIOS vendor and/or PC manufacturer. In addition to DEL other combinations include .... F1 F2 and less often, Ctrl + Alt + Esc Ctrl + Alt + Ins If your system isn't holding the time correctly when powered down this is probably due to the battery on the motherboard needing replacement. To do this requires you to open the case. -- Mike Maltby Chris wrote: Mike after all this time I should know but how do I access to the motherboad?

Mike upon booting I get this Bios F12, so I clicked. I get Boot Device menu:
1.Normal, 2.Diskette Drive., 3. Hard-Disk Drive C., and 4. IDE CD-Rom Device. Which one do I go for, if I am at the right place?

My Bios, pressing F1, version: A05 reports the correct time and date. I have
a Del 4300 by the way. Since I changed the time to the proper time with the utility I mentioned earlier now I don't know whether I am good to go or what? I still have some e-mails dated 12/05 which we are not there yet. One thing I have noticed though that now my AV (AVG) IS NOT reporting that: "the internal virus database is out of date" as it did before and seems blood is flowing through it. How do I find out if my system battery is on its way out? I have been expreriencing fast time for the last year or two hence the use of the above time utility. Thanks!
