Solved time changes itself

[kent318]

when I set the time on my pc it changes after a couple days sometimes sooner.I have unchecked the box in synchronize with internet time server.I don't belive this is a virus because I have run all scans and come up clean,It is a fresh install,and it happens on all fresh installs of vista.Any ideas?

Hello Kent,


Here are some common items to check that may affect this:

• Correct time and date set in Vista.
• Have daylight savings time settings set properly.
• Correct Time Zone.
• Time set correct in CMOS in the BIOS.
• Internet time synced with different time servers.
• CMOS battery on motherboard is weak or dead.
• May need to adjust internet time sync update interval.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

i would change the time synchronize site to 'time-a.nist.gov'

Not the correct time for me.

Thanks for the quick replies.

No joy tried everything that was suggested my cmos battery is new and time is set to not sychronize with a internet time server like stated though it checks the box to sychronize by itself.Says we don't observe daylight savings time in my time zone but we do.This is driving me crazy.

I have an idea.I reinstalled the guide for vista media center because it was never right.Now the guide is correct and I have set the time correctly with the sync with internet time provider unchecked.So far so good.My question is,is it possible the act of rerunning the set up for the media center guide caused windows to update with an online server?I seem to remmber something about it being dependent on you'r system time anybody know?
