Five minutes to be precise. Every day when I turn my computer on the clock is five minutes slow. If I change the clock to the correct time it is fine the rest of the day. However, the next day when I turn it on it is five minutes slow. What is causing this?
its the y2k bug! or it could be that your computer cpu is getting over loaded when you boot up you machiene
This is a total WAG, but maybe the CMOS battery is low.
Are you on a network? I have Win98, and it seems to synch its clock to the server when I log in. This was really irritating when the IT people failed, for almost a week, to adjust it for the change to daylight time last spring.
Saltire, That makes sense, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head.
We had a similar 7-minute discrepancy for, oh, I don’t know, three years before the network server’s clock was changed. All the while, the cash registers showed the wrong time (sounds trivial but actually a significant problem here).
What did our intrepid IT people do all this time? They kept suggesting clerks reset Windows’ clock everytime they logged in. Yes, that’s a much more efficient solution, guys. Thanks.
