[QUOTE="orbitalfreak, post: 942272, member: 1669"] I had a similar problem with my Feb '02 XP machine, it was messing up its clock a lot. I would lose hours, even days!, over the course of a week. I was wondering what the problem was, since I had it synchronized with NIST on-line. Well, I turned off the internet synchronization, set it manually, and it hasn't lost anything noticeable in months. So, if you have synchronization on, try turning it on; If it's off, turn it on if you have it (I figure it can't hurt nothing :)). In XP, it's Right-click on clock -> Adjust Date/Time -> Internet Time (tab) -> Automatically Synchronize with an Internet Time server (checkbox). I (had) set mine to [url]http://nist.time.gov[/url]. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
