Time system continues to change

I use a MacBook Pro with Bootcamp. First of all, not to change the hour on Mac OS and Windows XP system. After having RealTimeIsUniversal = 1 in the registry of XP, the time is still ok on Mac OS. In Windows XP, it keeps being defined by 5 hours (e.g. watch instead of 14:00 19:00 ist). Change the time zone does not help. The problem occurs if the computer is connected to a network. Windows XP is completely up-to-date with all Service Packs and critical updates. The bootcamp software is perfectly up-to-date. I couldn't find the events in the event viewer that occur when the weather changes. I have run out of ideas. Any other ideas out there?

Hi Cody,

Thank you. I checked some forums MAC OS and that's where I found the solution to add the RealTimeIsUniversal setting in the Windows registry. Who has not solved my problem of time Windows as described above. I tried another workaround solution that seems to work very well for the moment: I deleted the registry in real time entry, restarted Windows, set the clock to the correct time zone and the local time and restarted again. Now, the Windows clock works fine. I guess that with RealTimeIsUniversal = 1 it keeps switching to UTC = GMT, which is exactly the difference of five hours of New York Times. The clock on the MAC OS is now 5 hours off. I tried to set the time correctly, but it changes at each restart.  I could finally solve that by changing the time zone as well as the selected zone is the local time in New York.  Not perfect, but the best I found so far.

Thank you and best regards,

Tom

  • Date and time system continues to change each time the system starts.

    I noticed that the time and date of my home PC gets changed every time the system is booted. The default date is set for Jan. 2008, when in fact it should be July 2014.

    Also, my PC became slow death. I use Windows 7 on 1 GB of RAM, 250 GB PC. I used last my home PC 2 years back, but there has always been someone to use it.

    It shows the OS disk to 7 GB of free, when in fact I never installed or anything unnecessary stored on the disk of BONE; Whatever unnecessary programs were there, I uninstalled them recently, keeping just a few essential ones. After uninstalling, it shows to 7 GB of free, when in fact it should be more than that.

    I use Avast anti-virus, which I think is unnecessary, that its not to protect my PC and as other programs, too, is quite dead slow.

    The system is infected by viruses? Manually, I checked the system for viruses and clean the system of all unnecessary and, program files, but I'm still not sure whether it is a virus or a PC problem.

    I am a COMPUTER analyst, and's just done it 2 days that I use my PC at home. I could format my PC, or where applicable be buy Windows 8 with a new processor.

    Please advise.

    Hello

    You really need a minimum of at least 2GBs of RAM to run Windows 7 well enough.

    As you have only 1 GB of RAM, which seems to be one of the reasons why it is slow.

    Increase the physical RAM or try ReadyBoost:

  • Windows 8 time continues to change at random

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help me with the problems I'm having with my laptop. It's brand new, running Windows 8. Everything works well except the clock. The time continues to change and I'm unable to synchronize with the time Internet. Whenever I try to sync, I get the error message "the peer is not resolved."
    I haven't noticed any particular model for how time continues to change, except that if I turn off and turn on again hours later, time has not moved at all of what it was when I turned it off.

    Are you sure that it is an application that is causing the problem?

    When you are connected to the Internet, Win XP will periodically synchronize with a time server.  If you have Win XP on the wrong time zone, your computer displays the local time 'bad '.

    Double click on the time (lower RH of your screen) and select the time zone tab.  Select the correct time zone for your location and check the DST box.  If necessary, change the time manually to your local time and save your changes.

    Then select the time tab Internet - and make sure that you have a server in the server field.  I use the time - a.nist.gov.  There are many alternative servers, including time.nist.gov and time.windows.com.  Click 'Update now'.

  • My asus computer continues to change time and date

    My ASUS U50F/Windows 7, 64 bit version continues to change time and date. Sometimes he changes a day, sometimes is two or more days to come, but after a few months, it resets the date back to 2009. It seems that a lot of people have the same problem as me. Some suggest it is the BIOS battery, but that's not the problem. I got my computer some time in 2010, and well enough it has been the same since.

    Sometimes, the problem is more common, and sometimes it goes on for a few months without at all what's happening.

  • Windows continues to change user profile folder

    Hi all
     
    I'm facing a real headache. My computer continues to change user profiles folder every restart 2 or 3. For example, my user name is MSF\Bob. The user profile folder has been C:\Document & Settings\Bob. After a restart, Windows create a C:\Document & Settings\Bob.MSF then Bob.MSF.000 and Bob.MSF.001 folder and so on.
     
    Someone has an idea why this is happening and how I can prevent this?
     
    I thank very you much in advance!
     
    Best regards

    Easy question to answer.  You simply have a corrupted profile.

    When Windows detects a corrupted profile, it automatically generates a temporary with names profile as you describe.  Usually, these profiles are deleted when you connect your computer turned off, but not always.  The solution is quite simple.  You just need to recover your corrupt profile.   There are two general approaches.  One is to do a system restore to a point in time before the profile was first damaged.  The other usually involves the creation of a new user and moving profile data on to the new user (you may reset some of your settings).  To do this, choose one of the following articles and follow through:

    "How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473>

    "How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile"

    "Windows XP problems if your profile is corrupted"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326688 >

    HTH,
    JW

    PS: Corrupt profiles are almost always accompanied by alteration of the disc as well.  After your recovery, perform a check disk (chkdsk) with the "/ R" or "/ F" option

  • Screen resolution continues to change

    For the past few days Vista continues to change my screen resolution of 800 x 600 at startup, logon, to wake up or screen saver.  Normal resolution for my monitor is 1680 by 1050.  There are a few reboots to recover Vista decision, that I need a 800 by 600 screen.

    I downloaded and installed the latest nvidia driver for my card.  Problem persists.
    I spent my primary monitor with an old crt monitor.  Problem persists.
    I had the video card with another.  Problem persists.
    I looked in the device to a second monitor or a default monitor Manager.  There is no such animal.  It shows a monitor and map suitable and the pilot.  I checked the system startup to ensure that the basic video option has not been verified.

    Everything in searching for a reason for my resolution to 800 by 600 is under personalization > display settings.  It shows two options of the monitor.  The correct 1. HP w2007 LCD Monitor wide on NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT at 1680 by 1050.  It also shows the 2. (By default the monitor) on NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT with all of the resolution to 800 x 600.  The true monitor is defined as main display not non-existent default monitor.

    This second option will not appear under the NVIDIA Control Panel for the properties of the card or in the Device Manager, but for some reason any, whenever a connection is required the display switches to 800 by 600.

    Watch Google search that I'm not the only one with this problem, but none of the suggestions worked.  There is no dish scaling option in Nvidia Control Panel.  Switching video cards not disable TMM has not solved the problem.

    I am at a loss, any suggestions?

    It was right on the money.  Restarting the services one at the time and reconsignation in I took the problem to an .avi Divx for Windows Media Player codec.

    Good stuff, thanks for the help.
