Tick Tock

Hi i have noticed that the clock is one hour behind, even though i keep changing it to the correct time i still goes back an hour!

A) I have Shield antivirus
I have spy sweeper
C) I have CCleaner

it might be nothing to worry about, but i would like some good advice on this matter?


thank you

Hi cazace2, There are probably a dozen system and software ways that this problem could arise, but I think the most frequent problem relates to a weak/failing CMOS battery. Since it's cheap and easy, you might consider popping in a fresh battery. If the problem persists, we can investigate further. (about $2.50 for the battery at RadioShack, Best Buy, Office Depot, or most electronics stores) Best Regards

Hi Im not sure what you mean, where would i place a battery? Never known I had to replace a battery for the computer clock

If it's always 1 hr. off, sounds like it may not be adjusted for Daylight Savings to me.

To check that, on the time is the system tray.

In the "Date and Time" properties window that pops up, click the "Time Zone" tab.

At the bottom there is a box to check for "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes".
