making computer clock keep correct time
Posted by PCR on August 19th, 2003


To be absolutely certain it isn't something in Windows doing it (which
happened in one thread):

(1) Set clock in Windows. Shut down overnight (or long enough).
(2) Boot to Command Prompt Only, by holding CTRL as you boot to get the
Startup Menu, if it isn't already enabled at "START, Run, MSConfig,
Advanced tab".
(3) Enter "TIME", no quotes. (Then, ENTER, to exit w/o changing.)
(4) Ctrl-Alt-Del to boot Windows.

Was the time wrong in DOS?.. It's the battery, then. Otherwise, it is
something about Windows, maybe the Startup Group or a driver.

C:\>time/?
Displays or sets the system time.

TIME [time]

Type TIME with no parameters to display the current time setting and a
prompt for a new one. Press ENTER to keep the same time.

C:\>time
Current time is 6:54:27.68p
Enter new time:
