Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with my computer keeping time. The time is continuosly changing, i set the time and after just a few minutes, it has gained an hour or more. When i open the time settings to set the correct time, the time displayed in the settings window is different from the time on the task bar (and still not the correct time). I thought it might be a bios problem so i flashed my bois to the latest version and ran a Y2k test, everything tested OK, but the time still changes. I never shut my computer off so it shouldn't be the cmos battery? I have seen my computer gain as much as 5 1/2 hours within a 24 hour period. I have set the time in the bios and then set windows to the same but it still changes.
The time seems to change whenever a program running in the system tray is activated (zonealarm, modem manager, antivirus etc.) Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
