When I start my system, every time my system time is wrong. I think this is some hardware problem. Or could it be something else? Please advice.
How can I auto synchronize time with a time server? I have tried Windows default time synchronization , but failed. Any other ways? Please help me.
Thanks in advance!
Just to add, time syncronization using internet time requires that the date time on your computer be *mostly right*, like within a few hours of deviation. At least, thats how it used to be. You can't just ignore a failed CMOS battery and hope internet time will fix it for you.
You are right, i have to change my CMOS battery...because above technique i have already tried.
Hello, to check if the problem is with an specific time server, try changing server:
XP:
-- right click on time in taskbar
-- adjust date and time
-- click on internet time
-- make sure Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server is selected
-- click on down arrow next to server
-- choose a different server
-- click on update now
-- click on apply and then ok.
WINDOWS 7:
-- right click on time in taskbar
-- select adjust date and time
-- click on internet tab
-- click on change settings and provide password if needed
-- make sure synchronized with an Internet time server is selected
-- click on down arrow and selected a different server
-- click on update now
-- click on ok
-- click on apply and then ok.
You should try changing the CMOS battery.
If the time is *always* wrong, your backup battery is dead. Open the PC and look for a small button battery (usually CR2016 or CR2032), remove it, noting the polarity, and replace it.
Double click on the time displayed in the taskbar. and select a server to synchronize system time.
