Unfortunately, none of these problems will affect timekeeping when the
computer is on and running XP! They can all cause the time to be wrong
when you start up, but they have no influence whatsoever on the OS's
clock. XP keeps track of time internally. There are a few wierd
circumstances under which it applies bad "corrections" to the regular
ticks of the real-time BIOS clock. These can usually be sorted out by
going through the following sequence:
At the DOS command line, type the following commands -
1) net stop w32time
2) w32tm.exe /unregister {may give access violation - if so, repeat)
3) w32tm.exe /register
4) net start w32time
If this doesn't work, do it again, but reboot XP between steps 2 and
3.
Hi,
1. The battery on the mobo may became weak.
2. The quartz oscillator is faulty.
3. The chip for calculate the time is faulty.
For 1, change the battery.
For 2 and 3, take the mobo for repair.
