hi everyone
thanks for all the goodies on this site i really learnt a lot
anyway my "problem" is this
i have noticed every now and then that my computer taskbar time changes
like just before now it was showing three hours late
my pc is four months old
it is easy to reset the time but just out of curiosity
no porn sites visited

No porno lol OK (;-) but what about all the likely culprits cited in this article and how often do you reboot the machine? Remember XP is a tired old OS so it sometimes forgot what it's supposed to do.

The variation of time with usage is unlikely to be noticeable unless it is over a period of weeks or possibly months.

CMOS clocks are not always too accurate either, varying with how long the machine is powered up or left unused.

However, if the clock is suddenly changing time by a large amount it sounds like you need a new CMOS battery.

[Note that OS's cannot tire with age and forget things - only hardware and people can do that LOL]

Check to make sure that you have the correct time zone in your clock settings. Right click on the time in the taskbar, click on adjust time and then click on time zone.
