Clock is wrong, each reset jumps to an incorrect value

We are a charity running a hospital radio station. We have a couple of computers running Windows XP Pro SP3.

For some reason, the time is wrong. This isn't a matter of simple time zone where it is exactly an hour off - read more.
On a single machine, the time is out of 63 minutes, 29.4 seconds. Another is is only 10.3 seconds. But, we have "mission critical" application that requires time to be correct, such as the national news by satellite.
Each computer is running as an administrator, we have no reason to restrict users. If we go to the date and time settings, and set the time manually, it shows in time for a split second, then returns to the previous setting. If we use Windows when the same thing happens, he maintains for a brief flash and then shows the incorrect time again.
We tried to use Symmtime, an application that runs with happiness on the other PC that shows a digital clock and date, it updates via Internet and normally sets the clock to the right time - he does, for a second, then goes back again. Other computers on the same network, are not affected. Just those two. (Symmtime reports the value adjusted, which is where I took the exact amount of the error of)
Time Windows is disabled, it is not that anything that is set to zero. I went through the local security settings - local policies/user rights assignment/change time system - which now includes "Everyone" - but still will not allow the time to be changed. We have changed zone up and down then back to GMT
300022 KB suggested adding certain values, but is not clear - the values shown are spaces in names, only the registry keys. There is no information to tell if they are DWORD or anything, or what should be the value. After giving "everyone" access to change the time, I think that the article is redundant to our needs.
Our technology tells me that the CMOS battery has been changed, what could have been a cause of time running slow but blocks do not access to change the time. Even with a dead battery, you can start a PC and set the date and time manually.
The computers are connected to a working group, but not a domain, other computers in the same workgroup do not have the problem. DHCP is disabled, because we use the IP addresses defined on the network for purposes of port mapping.
A separate computer in another place has been recently overhauled because of problems she was having with the mutilated software. He was stripped to a disk drive formatted hard and installed fresh Windows XP Pro SP3. This PC also has the same issue and the clock is 9.2 seconds out. Again, we cannot redefine the time, he changes a fair return on its own initiative. It is not on the network as it is in another office of 14 miles away.
We tried stop W32Time process, even through a reset while he was arrested, but still can not change the time.
We really do not know what may be the problem and how to fix it-any ideas?

SOLVED

This has driven us crazy for some time. Some of our PCs had the question, which excluded the many sources available such as a router or server time or something.
We finally found that the problem is a piece of software called PC Auto Shutdown of http://www.drivermagician.com/autoshutdown/
There is an option to check in here: ' prevent users change the time system.
Unchecking the box unchecked the problem for us. Something so simple, and yet has eluded us for months! No one knew that the option was there.

  • Whenever I turn on the computer, my clock is wrong.

    Whenever I turn on the computer, my clock is wrong. I installed Windows7 in November, but this only started happening after the new year. When I change the time display, it only changes the time on the screen. not on the clock display computer. And when I turn the screen clock is wrong again; It corresponds to display the time of the computer again.

    battery from motherboard is dead I think. then, at some point, you have lost power to reset the bios clock. Restart the computer in your bios (delete seems to be a popular key for that these days, but it is f2 or f12 or f10. depends on your Board) and change the bios settings of the clock (I bet that the date is off also) then turn it off, pull the plug, count to 15, and repeat. If the bios clock wrong again then your battery is dead. If it is correct, you have a different problem.

  • Clock/calendar do not reset on HP Pavilion Slimline s3400f PC desktop

    Clock and calendar do not reset. I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s3400f desktop PC running Windows Vista SP2. After I have shut down the computer and it reboot later, the clock shows the time when he was arrested. The calendar setting also restores the wrong month and year. I tried to reset the clock/calendar several times by HP 'Help' instructions, but when I reboot, the parameter has not taken effect. All solutions?

    Some parameters of time and the date are usually caused by the CMOS battery.

  • clock goes wrong

    I never had this problem with my computer... my clock systems began showing the wrong time, the time difference is hours I mean the gap is in hours, why this is happening please give a solution on * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    You need to replace the built-in CMOS battery. This often happens if the power supply (battery and adapter) is removed for a long time (feel, computer laptop not in use for a long time) or if the laptop is used for more than 2 years (motherboard not replaced). Unless the battery is replaced, this message is displayed and the computer will start very slowly as the BIOS detects and checks each hardware component every time, even if restarted.

    You can contact the manufacturer for replacement of the battery support - you can either call a technician to change the battery, or you can replace it yourself by visiting your laptop repair.

  • Clock display wrong

    Hello!

    I have a new Samsung NP350V5X laptop and windows 7 installed top. I noticed that my clock randomly shows wrong time. It's not okay if I manually update the time of the internet and sees it at the right time after I put it far, but whenever I turn off the laptop and turn it on the next day, he shows the wrong time. I searched the net to find answers, but nothing seemed to help.

    Someone has a tip what to do? I thank very you much. :)

  • Number of pages for-each@section jump

    I want to make my conditional section, so if the condition is false it should not display the page.
    but when I use for-each@section it gives a page break, even if the condition is false.

    It's my logic model

    <? for-each@section:p0? > <? If: d1! = 'test2 '? >
    <?-foreach: p1? >
    <? D2? >
    <? D1? >
    <? end foreach? > <? end if? >
    <? end foreach? >

    And my data file is

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"? >
    < p2 >
    < p0 > < p1 > < test1 d1 > < / d1 > < d2 > 24 October 08 < / d2 > < / p1 > < / p0 >
    < p0 > < p1 > < d1 > test2 < / d1 > < d2 > 24 November 08 < / d2 > < / p1 > < / p0 >
    < p0 > < p1 > < d1 > TEST3 < / d1 > < d2 > 30 - Jan - 08 < / d2 > < / p1 > < / p0 >
    < / p2 >

    so, now I get just 3 pages while I want to only 2 pages.
    I want to use @section only because I want to reset page number for every p0. I am looking for options in this context.
    any help on this is much appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Satellite Pro M30 - real time clock shows wrong time

    Hello!

    I think my cmos battery is going to die soon.

    someone has an idea, how this cmos battery can be changed by myself?

    Thank you
    Reinhard

    Hello Reinhard

    I agree with you. It is time to replace the CMOS battery. It is not easy and the machine must be dismantled. If you are not familiar with the procedure for disassembly, it can be dangerous. A small mistake can result with damaging material.

    If you want to do it alone, you do so at your own risk. Be sure to use the right battery. Maybe you won't believe, but if you use a battery hurt it could cause battery explosion, or other damage.

    I'm not 100% sure, but the RTC battery must be placed on the left side near the touch pad. If you want to only please be very gently. The laptop parts are very sensitive.

  • Clock shows wrong time

    My clock says it's 15:52 when it's really 11:15... How can I configure the exact time? I have 'network provided time zone' checked, shouldn't that do the trick? I had to set the time manually, a real pain )

    It should if you also 'Time provided by network use' under 'automatic date and time?

  • BlackBerry smartphones this message after each reset "Eception exception: java.lang.Error.

    Hello!

    If you get this reliable error, then it is very likely that something in your OS device is damaged. This type of error is the "final" in the programming code - an event has happened for which there is no event handler in the code. I suggest to try two things (in order):

    (1) whenever random strange behaviors creep, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    (2) reload your OS:

  • reset all outputs the initial values

    Hello

    in our case, a project VeriStand is running on a machine RT with cRIO-I/O.

    Is there a possibility to reset all outputs to the initial value, while the project is running? (I don't want to restart the system in real time or deploy the project to new because who consumes too much time).

    Hello

    You can create an alarm that calls a reset procedure. The alarm can be mapped on a Boolean button in the workspace. Or you can call a Sequenze RT to reset your values.

    Best regards
