If synchronization is enabled, your computer clock is synchronized with an Internet time server once a week. However, if you don't have a continuous Internet connection through a cable modem or DSL modem, the automatic synchronization might not always occur. In that case, you can force an immediate synchronization by clicking the Update Now button on the Internet Time tab in Date and Time in Control Panel. This tab is only available if your computer is not a member of a domain. If time synchronization fails When you click the Update Now button, your clock should be synchronized immediately. If it fails, it may be for one of the following reasons: . You are not connected to the Internet. Establish an Internet connection before you attempt to synchronize your clock. . Your personal or network firewall prevents clock synchronization. Most corporate and organizational firewalls will block time synchronization, as do some personal firewalls. Home users should read your firewall documentation for information about unblocking network time protocol (NTP). You should be able to synchronize your clock if you switch to the Microsoft Internet Connection Firewall. . The Internet time server is too busy or not available for some reason. If this is the case, try synchronizing your clock later, or update it manually by double-clicking the clock on the taskbar You can also try using a different time server. . The date set on your computer is inaccurate. Internet time servers will not synchronize your clock if the date is incorrect. Ensure that the date is set correctly in Date and Time Properties in Control Panel. Note . To open Date and Time, click Start, click Control Panel, click Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options, and then click Date and Time. . An Internet time server updates the date set by your computer as well as the time. . The Update Now button is not available unless the Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server check box is selected. . You can change the time on your computer clock manually on the Date & Time tab in Date and Time in Control Panel. You can also open Date and Time by double-clicking the clock on the taskbar. Update the time on your computer Change your computer's time and time zone Change the clock synchronization server Turn off clock synchronization Internet Connection Firewall overview Top of page Manage Your Profile © 2012 Microsoft Corporation.

I used to have Dimension 4 on her computer & uninstalled it awhile back. I think I'll re-install it to keep the time issue corrected. I've only seen computers be out of time by a few seconds or maybe by a minute or 2 but, not by this much. Since my computer expeerience is somewhat limited, I thought by being this muchh ahead of time, there might be a potential problem. Thanks again, take care.

There exists more than one software program that will periodically adjust the computers clock/calendar automatically when an internet connection is available. Look for such programs on the www.blind-computing.com web site. hth Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <[email protected]> To: "Blind Computing" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 3:17 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Time of Day, Running Fast Hi All, What would cause the time of day to run fast / gain time? I was doing maintenance on my wife's Lenovo laptop & noticed it was running about 10 minutes fast. Can this be fixed so it will maintain correct time? Or, what causes this to happen? Running XP Pro, IE8, J13, & Office 2002. All help / advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.
