PC Clock fast?

SaBBz · 23 Oct 2006 at 10:16

For some reason my pc clock keeps going fast. It's set to update via time.windows.com but it only does this once a week. Invariably I come back to the computer and it's clock's about 5 minutes fast. Does anyone know the reason for this?

Thanks.

Go to ControlPanel-->AdministrativeServices-->Services

Now, find something called "Windows Time"

Right click it and go to Properties. Set it as "Disabled" in the dropdown menu.

Either that or its the battery thats on its way out

Thanks for the reply, would that not make it go slow rather than fast?

I have this problem with a board, i'll give that a try and see if it works, thanks.

What does this windows time thing do exactly?
