Windows XP will not keep time properly

I have a desktop running Windows XP and for some reason old any my camputer won't keep accurate time.  I tried to manually as well as the use of internet time options.  I get errors whenever I try to put my time using the internet.  Any ideas?

* original title - why my computer time is always wrong *.

If your sudden computer of the time losses when it is off, you may need to replace the battery on your motherboard.

It would help if your posted error message exact than your receipts when you tried to change the time.  Usually only administrative users can change the time.  As a workaround, to power you can press the button to send your BIOS Setup page and set the time correctly here save/quit from the BIOS screen and I hope that the weather will be good then.

  • Rocket will not keep time.

    Hello. When I set the time on the "rocket" (4g, v2, 2.03.33a firmware), it stops time tracking when it is off. Is there a separate battery which does not, as a clock battery internal? Thanks in advance. Hope everyone is having a great day.

    (I did a search first and nothing came. Sorry if this is a redundant question).

    Yes, there is. I don't think it's fixable by the user if, so I hope it is still under warranty. If so, you should contact SanDisk directly on a replacement.

  • Windows 7 will not accept any ati driver and catalyst control center at the same time.

    I tried a number of ati drivers. My card is a 4870 x 2 2 GB edition. The driver that windows installs will not accept any CCC.

    I did also install CCC and only driver left. I tried to play Everquest 2, first game to install, and it crashes before the charge, gives me an error of ref dx9.

    I'm assuming that windows 7 has the new package dx so I shouldn't have to reinstall that. I downloaded some of them however.

    I'll try a restore and see if it works. If I could go back in time and never bought this o/s I now.

    This is ridiculous.

    Windows 7 DirectX 11.  You can also download and install v9 and have both at the same time, which is what I have on two different computers for this reason.

    Does anyone know why Windows 8 will not restart correctly on the laptop Satellite P850?

    It seems that whenever I have to restart, especially after the installation of an update, it crashes right on the screen of "Reboot" and I usually find myself having to hold the power button down to completely stop and then turn upwards again. Sometimes, I still have to do to make it stop.

    I would be very grateful for any help that anyone can give me please.

    Hey Brian39

    If you change the motherboard that you normally have to reinstall vista

    your hard drive if you ever reinstalled vista contains the drivers for the old motherboard etc.

    and if vista is pre-installed you can not put the motherboard unless you do so in collaboration with the computer manufacturer

    If a retail license, you can change the motherboard

    but you will normally always reinstall vista for reasons

    I'm sure that the last entry in the log has something to do with my problem.

    RESOLVED: "gamename has stopped working", games for Windows Live problem *.

    OK, finally solved.

    I uninstalled what is called "Windows Live ID Sign - in Assistant", as well as the usual games of .NET, MS for Windows - LIVE and games for Windows Marketplace Client, then ran a registry cleaner (I used CCleaner, which is free) and restarted.
    I then reinstalled GWL from MS. site

  • I've updated to Firefox 8, now, it will not keep Me connected to all the sites!

    Everything was beautiful and brilliant. Then I updated to Firefox 8. Now any website I want to (Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) will not keep me connected when I check the box to do so. As soon as I close Firefox and reopen it, I have to log in again, even if on some sites it's to remember my username and password (just do not keep me logged).

    I tried to delete all cookies and history and still nothing.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    In the privacy section of the Firefox options, make sure that Firefox is configured to accept cookies and that it is not set to clear history of Firefox closing.

    (If you use the default "Remember history" then it should work fine. If you use the "customized for the history settings" setting, and then make sure that "Accept cookies" is checked and "clear history of Firefox closing is not checked.)
