No problem, glad to help. I just leave my sync off cause the servers tend to mess up alot for me.

Thanks Chip. I do have both computers set to automatically sync with an internet time server. The time zone settings are correct, but I did try changing servers. I changed the one on the main computer yesterday and it has worked so far. I am hoping that it was just a glitch with Microsoft's server. At least I know that I am not alone. Thanks again.

Frique

Yeah, mine sometimes does that as well. You probably have it set so it automatically syncs with an internet time server. Sometimes mine would mess up around Daylight Savings Time but I can't really explain the 6 hour jump, lol.

Just double click on the time to open up the "Date and Time Properties".
Click the "Internet Time" tab and uncheck the box that says "Automatically synchronize with an internet time server".
You could also leave it checked but choose a different server from the list if you have multiple choices.
Also, it would be a good idea to check the time zone tab and make sure your in the right time zone.

Good luck to you :]

This has absolutely nothing to do with GOTD or any of the giveaways, but it is a problem we discovered recently on both of our home computers. For some unknown reason, our clocks keep adjusting themselves. (I am talking about the one in the lower right corner of the screen.) If it was losing or gaining a few minutes a day I would think it is the battery. Unfortunately it is always whole hours. Usually it is just one hour forward or backward, but one day we had a six hour jump in time on the main comp. I have performed multiple scans with antivirus & anti-malware programs and the systems are clean each time.

What I would like to know is if anyone else is having a similar problem? Thank you for your time.
