WIndows clock losing time

[dribgnikcom]

This guy tells me his Windows clock falls a few minutes behind and when he reboots it picks up the correct time again from the CMOS.

Anyone know why?

your CMOS battery might be dying... replace it and see if it fixes it...

Lol never heard of that case b4..

That should not happen on Windows Xp though... it's supposed to follow the clock based on the govt website or by their own website... I think...

If the CMOS battery is dying, how would rebooting correct the problem?

According to Bill Gates, in a recent press release, Windows does not lose time. He said what you are experiencing is due to a latency problem in the manufacturer's BIOS controlling the Earth's rotational control system, and it will be addressed in an upcoming service release for all versions of Windows.

This solves the mystery
