Clock is wacko!

The thing will lose an hour or two every couple of days.Very annoying to have to reset it all the time.How can I fix this?

Windows ME fresh install a couple of months back

Hmmm the only thing I know of that can cause this behavior is a bad cmos battery. How old's the battery in there?

I agree with Neo. I also think there's a utility you can download and install that automatically updates your clock via the internet. I've never used it though, and I'd have to find it with Google...

The battery is OK, it never looses the settings or anything,and the BIOS clock is always on time.
Howste,do you have the name of that proggie?

I think I'll try google and see what I can find
Thanx

Are you sure that you have it set to the correct time zone? I made the mistake once of setting it to "Western US" time zone instead of EASTERN where I am located, and my clock would always lose an hour randomly. Check real quick to make sure it is in fact correct.

what OS? if you open the date and time screen in xp, there is an internet time tab, and an option there to update time automatically.

Yeah I checked the time zone it is right.
