HI. i'm using winXP and i recently noticed everytime my pc boots the clock is delayed 2 hours behind. i changed this setting in both my bios and windows. Can anyone tell me how to set it back to normal?
some computers are notorious for losing time quickly. that's why in Windows XP, they have a time synchronization feature. Double click on your clock, and click on the "internet time" tab.
You might want to do a registry tweak so that instead of updating once a week, it updates once an hour, or something like that.
Then again, it could be your cmos/bios battery...you might need to replace it
