    My computer clock is running fast
    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!
