Atomic Clock Synchroniser if System Clock runs slow

[brockenspectre]

My computer is not v old and I noticed the other day that the system clock was "out" by about 4 mins. Speaking with some friends who are more 'puter literate than I, I was told that anti-virus software or system optimising software can make the clock run slow - the 'puter regards the clock as less important hence the going slow. To avoid this, there is a great website http://worldtimeserver.com from where you can download a program that lets you "ping" an Atomic Clock to update your system clock! It really is great. Of course, if you have a 'puter that is more than 8yrs old then it is also possible that your system battery needs replacing and that is a whole new ballgame (if/when I get to that point I will be asking for help on how to to it!!).

HTH (hope this helps).

I use a great little prog called World Time from www.pawprint.net (http://www.pawprint.net) . Apart from synchronising your 'puter clock from any one of hundreds of time sources, you can set up clocks for any place in the world. It accounts for daylight saving anywhere and has a quite few other features worth looking at.
