My PC clock loses a couple of minutes every week, does this mean the battery
on my motherboard might be bad? The motherboard is less than a year old.
Thanks!

PC clocks are inaccurate. Two minutes a week is within range.
You can run a utility to sync your clock with an atomic clock every day or
so if you insist on accuracy.

Thanks Guido! I have a utility to do that so it's no big deal (if I
register it, it will even do it automatically for me); seems though that my
$3000 super-computer should at least keep time as well as my mickey mouse
watch does! :-)

I noticed you're using OE6... Just FYI, Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003
already have provisions for automatically synchronizing with local or
external time servers. (IIRC, NT through the reskit.)
For Win9x, I've used AboutTime for years -

Just please avoid the Precision Time "product" from Gator..er..Claria. |
