Windows Clock Problems

Abe Sargent · 01-27-2006, 04:52 PM

For the past month, my Windows clock has been all screwy. I set it, then at random time sit will jump to random times, sometimes dates. It won't track time at all. I tried the Windows troubleshooting tips but this isn't mentioned anywhere. It's really screwy. Anybody ever come across something like this before?

CMOS battery getting low? That can mess with the internal clock.

My computer is three years old. Is that old enough to have battery problems?

I've also seen some games that will mess with the clock, too.

I think running some version of Xcom with a special program used to mess with my clock. However, the most common cause is a bad battery.
