Default Re: Help with Clock

The time should adjust automatically every 7 day when connected to the
internet. If it isn't it is likely because you have a firewall that is
blocking this from happening. PCTools Firewall Plus blocks it.

Hi,

Antivirus applications are often known to cause this issue, decreasing the
intensity of the real-time scanning can sometimes resolve it.

You might be running a third party firewall that is blocking UDP Port 123.

Probably a bad battery. The time is kept in the BIOS.

Default Help with Clock

Hi,

I am using Vista Home Premium. On two laptops, one an Acer and the other a
Toshiba, should that make any difference, which I doubt, I have had to
adjust the time 4 times over the past month, just did it this morning. Any
fix that anyone knows about?

Thanks in advance.

T
