My windows time is constantly wrong...VERY wrong. Like right now, Nov 4th. I've never actually seen it change...only noticed it being wrong. I fix it then again a week later I notice its wrong again. I can't figure out why?? Any ideas?

Make sure your settings indicate that you live in the US (assuming that you do). Also check to see if your timezone is set correctly.
control panel> Date & time
If it still is incorrect after you ensured the proper settings in these area's check your system for spyware with EACH of these programs: Spybot search and destroy Ad-aware 6.0 Both free, and may solve more than one of your problems! Let me know how you do!

Possibly your CMOS battery is dying. Try replacing it.

Yes, that is a viable option but still try the simple tasks described above. CMOS battery is last resort.

I would double click the time in the task manager, and a box should come up where you can set the date, and time. But there should also be a tab that says internet time. Under that, there's a box that might be checked saying something like. Automatically synchronize with internet time server. if that box is checked uncheck it, and re-set the time and date.

the internet sync is actually rather reliable. They key is to have your timezone set correctly.
