"XP Clock has mind of it's own"

OK, this is odd... the time on my PC keeps changing by itself... i have some weird future thinking PC which is speeding ahead of itself confsuing me. Reset the clock, then it jumps forward by 30 mins? Reset it again, same thing happens... any ideas? Or has a quantam singularity appeard in my BIOS?

Why? Do you mean get a third party clock?

You COULD just stop using the PC clock...

This happens on my laptop, aprt from it says i am about 16 Hours behind the normal time.
It started happening when i had ME, then i formatted and upgraded to XP and still happens.
Blames the BIOS.

Changed my SNTP Server address and all seems fine. Obviously some play by the USA to have us in the UK beleive we're running 30mins ahead of ourselves.

Have you run a spyware check?

All set correctly, even stopped using internet time and set it manually yet after a few minutes it's still jumping forward by up to about 30mins?

Is your time set to sync with internet time? It might be, and your time zone set incorrectly.
