I just checked the time on my pc because I'm waiting for company and when I did I knew it was wrong! It changed itself when we had to turn the clocks back so why in the world would it go back an hour today? Has the time ever changed on your pc clock for no reason? Can you think of any reason why it would do that?

Make sure you are completely updated. Other than that your computer always checks the main server where the time is kept to make sure your clock is accurate.

Did you download all the neccessary updates? Did you try to restart the computer? Did you check for viruses? Did you check the battery inside your computer? Basically if you don't install updates it could make the time mess up. Sometimes if you restart your computer the time will be fixed. There is an internal battery (watch battery) in most computers that are supposed to keep track of the time if the power gets too low. If you have virus it could change things on your computer. Pablo

I agree with what someone else said - a virus would be my first thought. I've only had this happen a couple times but both times I found a virus on my computer - it was before I found AVG and anti-virus program was out of date.

aha, my computer also like yours. It's slow four to five minutes. I have changed it manually for several times.But after a few days it goes back again. I am crazy~! Maybe the battery on the mainboard is low energy. God knows it...
