System clock

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

My system clock, the one in the systray, is running fast. Any idea what
causes this and what can be done to fix it? Every two or three days I have to
correct it. I appreciate an input!

XO, thanks for the reply. The utility you are suggesting is only for the
following systems only and not mine ME. At least so they say. Any idea?
# Windows NT 4
# Windows 2000
# Windows 2003
# Windows XP

P.S.
The file name is "SymmTime2003.exe" - in case there is more than one
file to choose from.

I totally agree! Gregory Braun's website has a whole bunch of useful apps
that anyone can use, some free, some not. Try his Calendar 2000, V 4.3.
It'll show calendars forward and backward through the years and allow
printing of individual months.

Of course WebTime only sets the system clock to the accurate time when
invoked. If the trouble is within the computer itself (and it sounds as if
it might be) WebTime is only a temporary, intermittent corrective.

Gentlemen, thank you for taking the time! XO that utility did not work for
me. Freez after freez. But thanks. Glad it is working for you though.
I am gonna give the webtime a shot. I wish I knew whatever happened to my
own PC time going fast.

Use the 32 bit version and incluce the /runonce command in the startup
folder. It should keep you in good shape. If you have a need for
timekeeping, create an excel file to hold the daily corrections.
