My computer clock is constantly running fast. I reset the time and, a few hours later, it is fast again. How can I fix this? Thank you.:rolleyes:

Can give this a try

Go to start, run and type cmd
Hit enter

-At the command prompt type “net stop w32time” and hit enter
(without quotes)

-Now type “w32tm.exe /unregister” and hit enter.
(without quotes)

-Now type “w32tm.exe /register” and hit enter.
(without quotes)

-Finally type “net start w32time” and hit enter.
(without quotes)

Exit command prompt, restart PC

Hopefully this will help

Thank you for your help. It's about 11 hours since I followed your steps and it seems to have worked. The clock hasn't run fast in that time. By now, it should be 2 or 3 minutes fast.
Thanks again!

Sorry, but I can't until I spread some reputation around. I guess you were the last one to help me with something!
