My system clock loses time seemingly at random. Sometime it stays fairly close, but usually not - I don't see any kind of pattern, it can be an hour or two off, but is often 8 - 10 hours or more behind. I synchronize with the internet clock (or with a free-ware atomic clock synchronizer) and it works for a while, then starts losing again.
I found one place that had a procedure that used the commands:
net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net start w32time
but it did not work - it just went right back to losing again.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Stan

I think the problems lies in your CMOS battery It’s a battery that looks similar to the ones used inside watches Your CMOS battery helps keep the system time running and you should replace it as soon as you can Read this website if you need help http://www.cybertechhelp.com/html/tutorials/tutorial.php/id/58 its best if you do replace it soon I hope that helps
