The Times They Are A Changin'

[moram]

We have been replacing most of the older PC's on our domain with new XP Pro boxes. Everything is going well except for one PC. The time keeps dropping back one hour, a little while after setting it to the correct time. The big problem comes when Meeting Requests in Outlook end up being off by an hour. It seems to be a PC clock issue, but I guess anything is possible. Any ideas?

Is this a Dell computer?

Go to the Dell website, or Google "Dell xp losting time"

There is a patch for this.

I had this with a Win2K box - check and see if the system has the correct time zone set for your location.

Maybe the battery on the mainboard is bad.
Try replacing it.
