Hi all, sorry if the topic is already exist but I can't found one exactly like my case. The clock placed on my taskbar, slws down by itself like 10 mins. I keep on correcting it and it keeps on slowing down in 2-3 hours after that. I have replaced my cmos battery with the new one and killed all running application at the background but it doesn't solve the problem. I have installed clock sync programs like 'Atomic' & 'AnalogX' as suggested in other forum but the problem is still there or maybe I don't really know how to use them.
Another weird thing, I've got like 55 unit workstations in the office and only 4 of them were running in correct time... the rest are late between 5 - 10 mins. I don't think it's a battery problem because even the 3 months old PC facing the same problem.
Really appreciate it if somebody can help me solve this problem. Thank you in advance.

Have you tried to enable the Internet time synchronization in Windows?
Try compare your BIOS and Windows clock. If your sync is on, try disable it see whether you still slow down or not.

Hi fishrone.. thanks for that. At first only 'Date and Time' & 'Additional Clock' tab exist.. but after waiting for a while, there's another tab appears.. 'Internet Time'. In the 'Server box' under Configure Internet Time setting... I chose 'time.windows.com'. Well so far so good... looks like the time is now correct. Will update again later. Thanks. Added on September 19, 2011, 3:27 pmIt has been 3 days and the clock is working fine for now. But the problem is, I can only change the setting for Windows 7 only as I couldn't found 'Internet Time' tab in Windows XP. This post has been edited by kakamal: Sep 19 2011, 03:27 PM
