Trouble with the system clock

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

On my PC the system clock has slowed down and is providing me with an
incorrect time/date. I ran my anti-spyware program and I also ran my
anti-virus program and that didn't change anything. I really don't know what
to do and I would appreciate any kind of help.

Hi,

A slow system clock is nearly always related to a conflict with some other
installed software. Limiting what is loaded at boot can often resolve it or
at least tell you what is the problem.

Start by disabling AV software entries, as these are the most common
offenders. By the way, Windows makes a terrible clock. You might find it
easier to just hang one on the wall nearby.
