Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / March 2005System clock
My system clock, the one in the systray, is running fast. Any idea what causes this and what can be done to fix it? Every two or three days I have to correct it. I appreciate an input! http://www.ntp-systems.com/symmtime.asp --------- >My system clock, the one in the systray, is running fast. Any idea what >causes this and what can be done to fix it?

At least so they say.

The file name is "SymmTime2003.exe" - in case there is more than one file to choose from. ------ >XO, thanks for the reply.

I have been using Web Time 2000, Version 3.6 for about 3 years. http://www.gregorybraun.com/WebTime.html > My system clock, the one in the systray, is running fast.

Gregory Braun's website has a whole bunch of useful apps that anyone can use, some free, some not. Try his Calendar 2000, V 4.3. It'll show calendars forward and backward through the years and allow printing of individual months. Of course WebTime only sets the system clock to the accurate time when invoked. If the trouble is within the computer itself (and it sounds as if it might be) WebTime is only a temporary, intermittent corrective. Ken Bland Look in the HELPs. Webtime can be launched from the command line. Therefore, it's pretty easy to invoke it automatically at Startup. > Of course WebTime only sets the system clock to the accurate time when > invoked.

XO that utility did not work for me. Freez after freez. But thanks. Glad it is working for you though. I am gonna give the webtime a shot. I wish I knew whatever happened to my own PC time going fast. > Look in the HELPs. Webtime can be launched from the command line. > Therefore, it's pretty easy to invoke it automatically at Startup.

I'd be more concerned if the time was slow or falling behind. Usually the latter is an indicator that the mobo battery is needs to be replaced. But a fast clock is easy to adjust with Webtime! My winme pc is over 4 years old. The clock is still fast. But it only gained about 6 seconds in about a month. > Gentlemen, thank you for taking the time! XO that utility did not work for > me.

It should keep you in good shape. If you have a need for timekeeping, create an excel file to hold the daily corrections.
