Shelley83 Shelley83 Junior Member Registered: 09/03/06 Posts: 89 Loc: Ohio	Does anyone know how to make the computer's clock stay at the right time. Mine keeps going back an hour. I fix it but then a few days later it loses an hour again. I am going to assume that this has something to do with having to turn our clock ahead earlier than usual this year, as this has been happening since then. I just don't know how to make it STAY correct. Any help would be appreciated!

However, if you're actually getting the Daylight Savings Time change dialog window, that's probably not the case. Microsoft, IIRC, has a patch for the new daylight savings time.

This does not work for me for some reason so I downloaded a small utility that keeps my clock accurate: http://www.download.com/Atomic-Clock-Sync/3000-2350_4-10316305.html _________________________ Robert Brown, AAS Employed graduate of Career Step
